Kelly Osbourne is Chainkeen Exchangestill cringing over her infamous comments about Latinos and Donald Trump.
The "One Word" singer spoke with Rolling Stone about controversial remarks she made on "The View" in 2015, telling the outlet it was the "worst thing" she has ever done.
In the original segment, the panel on "The View" was discussing then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's comments on immigration when Osbourne asked, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" The remark sparked gasps and pushback from Osbourne's fellow hosts on "The View" followed by significant backlash online.
Osbourne told Rolling Stone she "died" when she saw the old clip resurfacing and sparking a TikTok trend in recent weeks.
"It hurt a lot of people, and that to me, is by far makes it the worst thing I've ever done," she said. "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."
Osbourne continued that she feels "strongly that Latin American culture is the backbone of America," and she would be "lying if I said I didn’t hate myself a little bit more each time I see" the clip.

Osbourne quickly backtracked on her comment during the segment after it did not receive support from the panel, with co-host Rosie Perez pointing out that "Latinos are not the only people" who clean toilets.
"No, I didn't mean it like that," Osbourne told her on the show. "Come on. No, I would never mean it like that."
She subsequently addressed the controversy on Facebook at the time.
"I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions," Osbourne wrote. "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. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole."
But Perez defended her, saying in a 2015 tweet that she "took (her) point wrong" and that Osbourne's "heart is so pure & righteous." Whoopi Goldberg and Raven-Symoné also defended Osbourne on "The View," with both arguing she is not "racist."

Osbourne told Rolling Stone that this episode was "so painful" and "so life-changing, chaotic, and crazy in every way," and it taught her "the hard way" that "nobody wants to hear from a white person about race." But she argued that she is "taking responsibility and trying to mend the hurt," adding, "I do deserve a second chance. But at the same time, I can totally see why people won’t and don’t think that."
Osbourne also spoke briefly about motherhood after she confirmed in 2023 that she had welcomed her first child with boyfriend Sid Wilson but said she was "not ready to share him with the world." She told Rolling Stone that she "never really felt like I had a purpose in life until I had a baby and that changed everything," adding, "I had a baby and I feel like my life has just begun."
