Kelly Osbourne's Controversial Comment Sparked the "Oh, That's Not —" TikTok Trend

Not each TikTok trend has great origins. In reality, there are many problematic trends on the app — however even the trends with problematic origins will have some funny results.

The "Oh, that's not —" trend on TikTok has been circulating wildly, however it's a bit of a distinct format than most of the different viral developments on the app. It additionally has an enchanting beginning, including Kelly Osbourne. Here's what you want to understand.

Kelly Osbourne's offensive remark is now a trend on TikTok.

During an episode of The View in August 2015, Kelly used to be making an attempt to comment on Donald Trump's racist campaign feedback, specifically the ones about the wall he deliberate to build along the U.S. border with Mexico. What Kelly stated ended up being an incredibly debatable and fairly racist comment.

“If you kick each and every Latino out of the nation, then who is going to wash your toilet, Donald Trump?" she mentioned.

Immediately, her co-stars pushed back during the episode, with co-host Raven-Symoné saying "Oh, that's not —"

Though Kelly attempted to better explain herself, the clip circulating on TikTok doesn't share what else she said in the interview. Of course, this created some backlash online that Kelly had to answer to, though once it's on the internet it's truly never forgotten. And eight years later, this clip has sparked the "Oh, that's not —" trend on TikTok.

Though these trends are usually done by reusing the audio from the original video, this one (thankfully) does not reuse Kelly's voice. Instead, TikTokers are using the general format of her offensive comment to joke about certain fan bases. The TikToks usually look something like this:

"If you kick every (demographic) out of the country, then who's going to (listen for your tune, watch your display, and so on), (insert famous person right here)."

Because this trend is based on a comment that was far from politically correct, the video usually ends with someone saying "Oh, that's not —" in response.

Of course, this is a fine line for a trend to walk, but when done tastefully, it's resulted in some pretty funny videos.

Kelly's co-stars on 'The View' had to defend her comment following the episode.

Of course, Kelly original comment caused backlash online, and she did apologize on her Instagram following the episode. Many of her co-stars also had to come to her defense online, promising others that Kelly was not racist.

“I’m best friends with Kelly," Raven-Symoné said, according to Hollywood Life. “I don’t assume she’d be a racist if she used to be pals with me."

“The point she was trying to make is that Trump’s stance on immigration will only hurt the people [he’s] counting on,” Whoopi chimed in. “You try to get your point in, and you try to hit it, and you sometimes step in dog doo…Your head works faster than your mouth, it happens.”

The internet never forgets, but it seems those participating in the trend have at least forgiven Kelly for her blunder.
