Rosie Apologizes
Posted on December 15th, 2006 in Rosie O'Donnell
Rosie O’Donnels the queen of Nice? I don’t know after seeing her performance on the view last week when she mockingly spoken in broken English with a Chinese accent. This week she addressed her attempt at humor and made a formal on camera apology.
After running the clip of her offensive performance last December 5th, she said “This apparently was very offensive to a lot of Asian people. So I asked Judy, who’s Asian and works here in our hair and makeup department. I said, ‘Was it offensive to you?’ And she said, ‘Well, kinda. When I was a kid people did tease me by saying ching-chong.’
“So apparently ‘ching-chong,’ unbeknownst to me, is a very offensive way to make fun, quote-unquote, or mock, Asian accents. Some people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. I was like, really? I didn’t know that.”
She went on to say that she never intended to hurt anyone with her remarks and that she was sorry for those people we felt hurt, but went on to warn that there was a good chance she might do something like that again in the future - Not on Purpose of course.
