'Then who is going to clean your toilets?' Kelly Osbourne attacked for racist Trump remark about Latinos on The View before melting down during commercial break, sobbing backstage and apologizing

  • During a Hot Topics segment about Donald Trump's poll numbers with Latinos, Osbourne infuriated Rosie Perez with her racist flub
  • Kelly said: 'If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet Donald Trump?'
  • Kelly became hysterical during a break from the live broadcast and wept over fears she'll now be seen as a racist
  • Four hours after the show, Osbourne took to Facebook to apologize, writing 'I whole-hearted f****d up today'

Earlier this year when Giulana Rancic made a joke about Zendaya's hair on E!'s Fashion Police and it received public backlash, Kelly Osbourne defended her friend Zendaya on Twitter and posted a message saying: 'I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING STAYING ON THE SHOW[sic].' In the end, she ultimately quit the series.

Now, the 30-year-old TV host has landed in a racial storm of her own after guest co-hosting The View on Tuesday.

During a Hot Topics segment about Donald Trump's poll numbers with Latinos as conducted by Telemundo and The Wall Street Journal, co-host Rosie Perez read stats that found that 75 percent of Latinos do not like Trump; 61 percent said they viewed him very negatively; 13 percent said they viewed him in a positive light; and 50 percent found his immigration rhetoric offensive.

Perez said that, according to the poll, 55 percent of Latino voters agreed that Trump's comments about Mexico were 'insulting and racist and have no place in a campaign for president.'

Osbourne offered: 'If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet Donald Trump?'

A silence fell over the studio audience and you could see the other co-hosts were taken aback. Then Perez mumbled: 'Oh, that's not... oh, no!' as she shook her head in disbelief.

The View's Raven-Symone then told Osbourne: 'There's more jobs than that he can use them for.'

Sensing things were tense, Osbourne clarified: 'In a sense, you know what I mean? In L.A. they always...' But before she could finish, Perez had calmed enough to finally check her.

'Latinos are not the only people doing that,' explained Perez, looking seriously into Osbourne's eyes.

Osbourne backtracked and tried to elaborate. 'I didn't mean it like that! Come on, I would never mean it like that. I'm not part of this argument," she contested. 

'I F***ED UP!': KELLY OSBOURNE APOLOGIZES FOR THE VIEW FLUB

I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT. I whole-hearted f****d up today. I don’t want to bullshit anyone with lame excuses. Although, I was stopped mid-sentence by Rosie and couldn’t finish my point I will not let Rosie take responsibility for my words. I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own f***ing toilets.

Moderator Whoopi Goldberg stepped back in and tried to take control of the segment, before ultimately going to commercial break.

During the break, the daughter of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne and The Talk co-host Sharon Osbourne burst into tears. 'Everyone is going to think I'm racist. I can't believe this,' she cried, as producers of the show and her personal handlers ran to her side.

'Everyone assured Kelly things would be okay. They were trying to calm her down before returning from commercial break. Rosie was still pissed. She stormed off and said, 'I want no parts of that mess,'' a source at the show told Mail Online.

The rest of the show resumed and the topic wasn't addressed again until the end of the show. During the last segment, Perez started with: 'I want to apologize to this young woman once again for being very sensitive.'

Osbourne asked: 'Why? You had every right.'

Perez continued: 'Kelly Osbourne is on our side and I was sensitive and my disdain should go to only Donald Trump. Sorry darling.'

Realized her mistake: During the break, Osbourne burst into tears. 'Everyone is going to think I'm racist. I can't believe this,' she cried, as producers of the show and her personal handlers ran to her side.

Smiling anyway: This was Osbourne's second appearance on a talk show this week. Yesterday she guest-hosted rival show The Talk, filling in for her mother who was out. She's seen here leaving The View on Tuesday

Osbourne hugged her and said: 'No need to apologize to me, I love you Rosie!'

After the show concluded, Perez bolted to her dressing room and no further interaction with Osbourne who started crying again.

'She was hysterical because she knew the backlash was imminent. Let's face it, she turned on Giulana who was obviously only reading a joke prepared by producers, but these were Kelly's own words and she said them on live TV. No one could explain her actions but her and she feared the fallout from it all," the source shared.
