It seems that racist comments forced "The View" host Rosie Perez to quit the show early, if reports are to be believed.

According to The Daily Mail, Perez was not happy about Kelly Osbourne's controversial comments when she guest co-hosted the ABC talk show.

Osbourne said on the show, "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?"

Osbourne later apologized for her choice of words, although her comment has taken Perez, as well as the other co-hosts aback. After a pause, she shook her head in disbelief, mumbling, "Oh, that's not... oh, no!"

Raven-Symone told Kelly, "There's more jobs than that he can use them for."

Osbourne tried to backtrack, but damage has been done. Perez, looking at her directly, cut in. "Latinos are not the only people doing that," she said.

Tension on-set built before Whoopi Goldberg tried to take control of the situation before the segment cut for their commercial break. However, as the cameras cut away, Osbourne was seen bursting into tears as producers and personal handlers rushed in to help. "Everyone is going to think I'm racist. I can't believe this," she cried.

Although the pair seemed to have worked things out by the next segment, a source for The Daily Mail spilled that it was not the case.

Allegedly, the ABC execs were the ones who cornered Perez during the break and demanded that she apologize to Osbourne. When the show ended, they also gathered in her room and demanded that she tweet an apology to the guest host.

Perez protested, saying, "I've already done more than enough by apologizing on air" before a loud argument ensued.

The source shared, "She and the ABC executives had it out. She was yelling at them at the top of her lungs that their demands were disrespectful. They were telling her that she better do exactly as they said. It was an ugly scene and Rosie was crying uncontrollably and outraged."

She did tweet another apology, however, but after doing so, she declared that she was "done with this f--king show" and told the producers to "kiss her a**" before storming out of the building. The apology tweet to Osbourne also appears to have been deleted.

Meanwhile, a source for E! News refuted The Daily Mail reports by saying, "Rosie's days off were scheduled the day before Kelly was a guest on The View. What she said at the end of the show and what she tweeted to Kelly were entirely genuine. No one made her do anything. And she and Kelly spoke after the show."
