Sticking by their friend. Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symone came to Kelly Osbourne’s defense on Wednesday, Aug. 5, after the former E! Fashion Police co-host was accused of racism for making an insensitive comment about Latinos during Tuesday’s episode of The View.
“I want to just start by making something clear: The point she was actually trying to make was that Donald Trump’s stance on immigration will only end up hurting the people that Donald Trump is counting on,” Goldberg, 59, said on The View Wednesday. “I think that’s what she was trying to say. One of the things that happens on live television is you’re trying to get your point in and you sometimes step in dog doo. It does not make you a racist.”
Osbourne, 30, received backlash Tuesday for her comments about Latinos while taking aim at Trump. “In what way does he think that people are going to vote for him after he’s just called them rapists and murderers?” she said. “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?”

wow i just read that rosie perez quit the show after being forced to apologize. to kelly. wow.
yes actually. She had a huge tift with another woman on her Fashion Police show over Guiliana Rancic commenting on someone’s attire saying it smelled of patouli oil and weed. She quit, pitched a fit and it was news. She sat next to joan rivers for years listening to her rancid remarks and racism given a pass as she was a ‘comedian’ and it was ‘comedy;. Now she says this on the view and she gets a pass? I don’t think so. It was racist and the assumption that she ‘wouldn’t say something like that’, something she never gave rancic is disengenuous. She was racist. (Sorry if this is goofy.. my glasses are bugging me)
