Kelly Osbourne, 39, just lately needed to face her 2015 controversy that happened on The View as soon as extra after it went viral on TikTookay almost 10 years later. During a January 18 interview with Rolling Stone, the TV persona opened up about her notorious remarks concerning the Latino inhabitants within the U.S. and referred to as it the “worst” factor that she has carried out. “Oh my God, I died,” she mentioned in response to seeing the clip go viral once more.
Despite the comedic take of TikTookay customers making the audio their very own, Kelly expressed her remorse for the 2015 incident. “It hurt a lot of people, and that to me, is by far makes it the worst thing I’ve ever done,” she instructed the journal. “I realized that I’m not great on live TV and that words are so powerful. And to be labeled as something you’re not is really difficult. But it happened. There’s nothing I can do.”

At the time, Kelly made a comment about Latinos “cleaning” folks’s “toilets” throughout Donald Trump‘s initial run for president. “If you kick every Latino out of this country then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?” she said during the episode. Kelly immediately realized she made an error after guest Rosie Perez replied back, “Oh that’s not.” She then tried to appropriate her assertion. “In the sense that… You know what I mean?” Kelly added. “I didn’t mean it like that. Come on!”
Years later, Rolling Stone then requested Kelly to make clear what it’s that she meant by the viral remark. “I feel very strongly that Latin American culture is the backbone of America. I believe that Latin Americans are the hardest-working people you will ever meet,” the Fashion Police alum defined. “And their connection to family and their culture is closer to mine than the American way. I’ve never tried to be American. I never wanted to be a part of a country where there’s so much hate and there’s so much misinformation and kick them when they’re down mentality.”
Now, each time she has come across the clip, she admits that she “hates” herself for it. “It goes to show that people never forget. And even though I’m the butt of the joke, I’m still laughing,” Kelly mentioned. “And some of them are very smart. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hate myself a little bit more each time I see it.” Earlier within the dialog, the mother-of-one admitted that her remark was about how the U.S. is “built on” immigrants. “This whole country is built on immigrants, and if you stop people from coming into this country who do the jobs that make this country exist and thrive and flourish, who’s going to do all the jobs that you don’t want to do yourself?” she mentioned. “It came out so wrong.”
Despite the backlash from 2015, Ozzy Osbourne‘s daughter noted that today there is some comedic relief to the resurfaced video. “It’s essentially the most cringe second of my whole life,” Kelly shared. “But to see people be creative with it does put a smile on my face. It turns something so ugly into something funny.” She even claimed that she is educating her son, Sidney, 1, about “privilege and anti-racism.” The proud mother emphasised that she hopes to show her baby why “as a white person, it’s time to sit down and shut the f*** up.”
