After facing extreme criticism online, former "Fashion Police" co-host Kelly Osbourne has apologized for her hateful comments she made on the Latino community while speaking on the show, "The View," on Aug. 4, Tuesday, by admitting that she "whole-hearted[ly] f---ed up."
"I should have known better as I was on 'The View' and it was live. I've learned a very valuable lesson," said the 30-year-old TV personality in an apology statement obtained by Huffington Post.
Osbourne, who was a guest host on the show, went over-the-top while speaking in reference to the anti-immigrant views of 2016 Presidential candidate Donald Trump when she made the questionable comment.
"If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" Osbourne remarked, apparently to mock the racist views of the politician.
The other co-speaker on the show, Rosie Perez and Michelle Collins, were taken aback and immediately tried to stop Osbourne from speaking further. Perez, who is of Puerto Rican descent, protested over the comment while Collins tried to tried to clarify the hateful remark.
The hosts moved on but the Latino remark created a stir in social media with online commentators were quick to point that Osbourne is now caught in the similar situation in which her former co-host Giuliana Rancic found herself a few months back, The Washington Post reported.
Rancic was accused of criticizing Disney star Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks on the Academy Awards red carpet, saying she felt that the 18-year-old actress smelled like "patchouli oil" and "weed." After this, Osbourne distanced herself from the comment and later resigned dramatically after condemning Rancic's statement multiple times.
