“When Mexico sends people, they’re not sending their best” speech, “The View” hosts discussed it. Osbourne, now 39, was a guest host at the time, chatting about his speech with Whoopi Goldberg and Rosie Perez. “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump?” she said.
Her co-hosts gasped, and the clip went viral. “It’s the most cringe moment of my entire life,” Osbourne told Rolling Stone in a new interview published on Thursday, speaking about the moment for the first time since 2015. “Oh my God, I died,” she said.
“It hurt a lot of people, and that to me, is by far makes it the worst thing I’ve ever done. 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,” she said, referring to how she was slammed as “racist” after the viral clip.“It was something that was so painful.
And so life-changing, chaotic and crazy in every way. I mean, I received death threats. I used to have this freedom where people liked my crazy opinions and they liked the shock factor of it.
And I fed into it a lot because I didn’t understand it. I’ve learned when to shut up and to stop talking. I’m definitely not the person I was before that incident.”Whenever the clip resurfaces on social media, the reality star and former “Fashion Police” co-host said, “It goes to show that people never forget … I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hate myself a little more each time I see it.”In 2015, when the incident happened, she was going through “a really, really hard time in my life,” she said.
