Kelly Osbourne becoming a TikTok meme for an out of touch comment she made in 2015?
Oh, that’s not –– who are we kidding? It’s kind of hilarious.
The new viral trend –– which has garnered nearly 350 million views –– all started after this clip from The View (which is oft-shared on Gay Twitter X) began making the rounds on TikTok.
How about we take this to the next level?

Back in 2015, The View panel was discussing then-presidential hopeful Donald Trump‘s comments about immigration on the campaign trail. (Ugh, we were all so naive back then.)
That’s when a purple-haired Kelly Osbourne stated: “If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?”
Obviously, Osbourne’s phrasing was not the anti-racism serve that she thought it was.
And immediately, her fellow panelists tried to walk it back. (Most notably, Puerto Rican actress Rosie Perez appears to say, “Oh… that’s not.”)
For what it’s worth, Osbourne quickly apologized for her statement on Facebook, writing, “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 f*cking toilets.” Oop!
Furthermore, Perez accepted the apology with a tweet calling Osbourne’s heart “so pure & righteous.”
Still, that didn’t stop chronically online gays from using the clip as a reaction video anytime a similarly problematic statement arose.
But after the nearly 9-years-old video hit TikTok, users like @jamesssryan got even more creative with spins on Osbourne’s misguided phrasing.
Watch.
@jamesssryan I love this trend

“If you kick every twink out of this country, who do you think is going to be folding your clothes, Zara?” he joked in the video, which has since accumulated over 763,000 views.
(And having stepped foot in the fast fashion retailer, we think he’s got a point. LOL.)
Twinks aren’t the only ones getting roasted, either.
As @trisarahhtop proposed: “If you kick out every gay guy from Twitter, then who is going to be body shaming you, female pop singers?” Oof.
Watch.

Then again, @eli_orwhatever might have spilled with this rendition: “If you kick every they/them out of this country, then who is going to be making your drinks, Starbucks?”
(“A valid question tho,” he captioned the video, which has been viewed a whopping 12 million times.)

Still, the best contribution might have come from queer content creator @trippy_pisces.
“If you kick all queer women out of the US, who’s going to be watching the National Women’s Soccer Team play?” she asks. (Cue the Ashlyn Harris and Ali Krieger discourse!)
Watch.

Alright, that’s it. We’re feeling WAY too targeted.
Despite the viral moment, Miss Osbourne herself has yet to comment on the meme. But if she does, we’re sure she will choose her words very carefully.

Mostly hilarious.

I agree. These were very cute and funny (although Kelly’s ears must be burning frequently these days).

The real question is why is Kelly Osbourne even a celebrity and given a voice on mass media just because her father is a burned out rock star. She is not a great talent or thinker and there are so many more worthy women to put on the air.
Kangol2
True but she was on a popular reality show for a hot minute a decade ago, so that, plus her father’s and mother’s fame status, qualified her for “celebrity” status. At least in the eyes of millions of people.
Baron Wiseman
Apparently, those rich Hollywood liberals need “Latinos” to clean their toilets.
Yikes!

@barryaksarben
Ms. Osbourne made an insensitive, denigrating remark. She has since apologized for the comment.
Get over it.

Baronin, except that rich Massachusetts/Utah conservative Mitch Romney had undocumented “Latinos” working on his lawns and doing other jobs for him, despite him railing against them, and number of rich right-wing conservatives have been caught/found to be employed undocumented Latinos, to clean their toilets and any number of other jobs, while railing against them. The GQP hypocrisy on the undocumented knows no bounds. You may want to check yourself before you wreck yourself!

And here’s Baron striving for relevancy.
barryaksarben
Baron – KELLY is not a Hollywood liberal so your comment as all your comments is just stupid as shit
Baron Wiseman
@barryaksarben
Is she a conservative? LOL!
Her unflattering comment of Trump might say otherwise.
Kangol2
Tons of true conservatives abhor the fascist Don the Con, Baronin. You, however, are deeply enamored of him!
Diplomat
Gotta say Baron, wanting a Putin knock off to run America isn’t winning you points. Are you sure you’re ready to never vote again?
dbmcvey
Wait, are you just realizing what an idiot Baron is?
Baron Wiseman
@Diplomat
“Are you sure you’re ready to never vote again?”
Are you going to think for yourself and not continuously fall for the latest narrative from the corporate left-wing media?
Apparently not.
dbmcvey
Very funny!
