In her eagerness to go after Donald Trump, Kelly Osbourne stepped in it good — although it helps to be in with the hip crowd.
Either way, Osbourne was prompted to apologize for Tuesday’s remark about Hispanics cleaning toilets, taking to social media in her own special way.
“I whole-hearted f***ed up today,” she posted on Facebook later in the day.
Here’s Osbourne’s full profanity-laced statement — CAUTION STRONG LANGUAGE:
I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. 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-hearted fucked up today. I don’t want to bullshit anyone with lame excuses. Although, I was stopped mid-sentence by Rosie and couldn’t finish my point I will not let Rosie take responsibility for my words. I should have known better as I was on The View and it was live. I’ve learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own fucking toilets.
While discussing the GOP presidential contender’s controversial comments about Mexican immigrants Tuesday on “The View,” Osbourne asked the rhetorical question of Trump: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”
A comment not unlike words spoken by President Obama, who said of illegal immigrants in a speech in 2014: “America is not a nation that accepts the hypocrisy of workers who mow our lawns, make our beds, clean out bedpans, with no chance ever to get right with the law.”

Rosie Perez was none too pleased at the time with Osbourne’s analogy about Latinos cleaning toilets, but she had plenty of people scratching their heads when Perez later took to social media to apologize.
(Is it possible she was tipped off and wanted to lay cover for Obama?)
My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong-#Trump #Latinos. My bad. You're heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you. @TheView

Lost in all the sanctimony is that Osbourne once took great umbrage when E! Network host Giuliana Rancic made a “politically incorrect” statement on the show “Fashion Police.”
Rancic took a pot-shot at pop star Zendaya for wearing her hair in dreadlocks, suggested she smelled of “patchouli oil” or “weed,” prompting Osbourne to lose it in a series of posts on social media.
Claiming she did not “condone racism,” Osbourne threatened to leave the show over Rancic’s comment:
you guys do realize that @Zendaya is my friend right?
