11 Celebrities Who Got Caught Being Racist

Unfortunately racism still isn’t an issue of the past.  Over the past couple of years, more and more unsuspecting celebs have been getting exposed for their racist ways.  Flip on over to see which of your favorite entertainers ain’t all the way down with equality.

Kelly Osbourne

Just days ago while visiting The View, Kelly got caught slipping during a conversation about Presidential candidate Donald Trump.  She asked,“If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?” After her co-hosts awkwardly paused in shock, she tried to explain herself.  She continued, “In the sense that… you know what I mean?  But I’m saying that in L.A. they always… “ Just as fast as the internet could get wind of her words, Kelly issued a lengthy  apology.

Paris Hilton

Neil Strauss, author of the book Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead, wrote that Paris Hilton had once responded to a question about dating African American men with this statement:  “I hate black guys, I would never touch one. It’s gross.”  Paris never acknowledged the quote nor did she apologize.

Paula Deen

In 2013, Paula Deen committed career suicide by way of racism after admitting to using racial slurs toward her employees.  She was sued for racial discrimination by two of her employees and ultimately admitted to using the n-word.  After offending millions of African American fans with her comments, she was cut from The Food Network and numerous endorsements.  In total she lost a reported $17 million from the canceled projects. After being caught as a red-handed racist Paula did apologize via social media and video recording.

Michael Richards

Life was never the same for this former “Seinfeld” star after he broke out in a racist rant during a stand up comedy show in LA in 2006.   After being heckled by black audience members, Richards had a meltdown and yelled out “Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your a**.” He continued,”Throw his a** out. He’s a n*****! He’s a n*****! He’s a n*****! A n*****, look, there’s a n*****!”  The recording left viewers both shocked and highly disgusted.  Richards did apologize for his comments, however he still maintains that he is not a racist.

Donald Trump


Presidential candidate and businessman Donald Trump posted this statement to Facebook in regards to his views on immigration laws, “I’m not knocking immigration or immigrants, but rather am very critical of the country of Mexico for sending us people that they don’t want.”  In another conversation with Business Insider, he described illegal Mexican immigrants as ” the bad ones” as well as “criminals” and “rapists“.

Hulk Hogan

Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan was best known for his time in the ring but he most recently became a hot topic after making racist comments during a recorded phone conversation.  He stated, “I mean, I’m racist, to a point.  F***ing n*****. But then when it comes to nice people and sh**, and whatever… I mean, if she as going to f*** some n*****, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n**** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. F***ing n*****.”  Hulk Hogan is still maintaining that he is not racist and is hopeful for forgiveness.
