TYT: Why Rosie Perez Quit The View



Turns out that the ladies of The View are dealing with some drama to say the least. Apparently, Rosie Perez might not have meant her apology toward Kelly Osbourne after Kelly Osbourne said some disparaging things about Mexican Americans. It all started when the ladies of The View were having a discussion bout Donald Trump and they were pretty outraged at Donald Trumps statements against Mexican Americans.

Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss. Do you think money was ultimately behind Rosie Perez leaving The View? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Rosie Perez canceled her last appearances on The View after being forced to apologize to Kelly Osbourne for her anger at her co-star's racist remark about Latinos, Daily Mail Online can reveal exclusively today.

Rosie refused to turn up for her two, final live shows last week and skipped several, pre-taped appearances after having an intense blow-up with ABC executives over Kelly's on-air comment.

Kelly, 30, caused outrage after asking: 'If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?' during a Hot Topics segment about Donald Trump's poll numbers within the community last Tuesday.

A silence fell over the studio audience as other co-hosts were clearly taken aback. After a pause, Rosie, who has Puerto Rican heritage, mumbled: 'Oh, that's not... oh, no!' and shook her head in disbelief.

But I am sure it made her know she made the right choice.

The one thing that no one was talking about is that Kelly is not an American. Sure she came to this country with her parents and they made a lot of money here, but since they are from England they are viewed in a particular way. So this immigrant or guest in this country from "the motherland of England" makes a remark about other immigrants in this country. Immigrants that are painted with a broad brush of being illegal (whether they are here legally or not) and menial job workers. English people come here and stay illegally, too. I have met a few, but they are given a pass by society at large.

Something to think about.

This is what I listened for and was sadly disappointed not to hear.
