Kelly Osbourne apologized via her Instagram account for choosing her words poorly while attempting to bash Donald Trump on the August 4 episode of ABC's 'The View.'
She tried to counter Donald’s horrible remarks about the latino community, but unintentionally made remarks that many found offensive as well.

Kelly Osbourne might want to rethink her next political attack. The 30-year-old star took aim at presidential candidate frontrunner Donald Trump but she was the one who ended up under fire and she's doing everything she can to turn it around.
On Instagram, Kelly tagged @abctheview and repeatedly said how sorry she was for her insensitive words, but wanted everyone to know something important. She is not racist, and won’t be apologizing for that at all.
“I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions,” Kelly said, as she started her lengthy post. "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-heartedly f***ed up today. I don’t want to bull—t anyone with lame excuses."

While discussing Donald’s belief that latinos should be kicked out of the United States because they’re rapists and murderers, Kelly chimed in to counter Donald’s absurd idea and it didn’t go as well as she probably imagined it would.
“If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” Kelly said. “In the sense that…you know what I mean? But I’m saying that in LA, they always…”
This what it's like being in America. @KellyOsbourne you're DISGUSTING and an IDIOT for you RACIST COMMENTS! pic.twitter.com/iwuwEpRaSo — яσв. (@IamRobDevon) August 4, 2015
Rosie Perez and Raven Symone immediately tried to correct Kelly.
“There’s more jobs than that in the country for Latinos and Latinos are not the only people who clean toilets,” Rosie said.
Kelly Osbourne rushed to clarify her blunder: “No, I didn’t mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I’m not part of this argument.”
Many called her on for being racist. But later in the show and again on Twitter, Rosie graciously apologized to Kelly for initially being too hard on her. She said that she didn’t believe she had ill intention behind her comments and wasn’t racist.
Y'all know this "heroic act" by Kelly Osbourne is actually incredibly racist, right? pic.twitter.com/YuQqwhQWoz
