But what happened to Kelly Osbourne when she said “If you kick Latinos out, then who will be cleaning your toilets Donald Trump?”
Exactly
She wasn’t a host she was a guest
@@jessinicole7998 so was he
You forgot that she’s a spineless liberal snowflake
This dude has the spine to say what we’re all thinking but somehow he’s the bad guy 🤯
@@jessinicole7998 no, she was a host
I’m Hispanic, and I NEVER liked this guy. Glad he got fired specially for speaking like this of a person.
its not about race its about gay attitude..
me too
You know he is back to work on a different spanish channel, that sucks.
@@D.E94 yes he is ! and hes still criticizing latin celebrities cause hes "career"
@James May there's only two sides American or anti American pick you side. Facts not feelings.
You're free to say what you want but you still have to accept the consequences. When the way people perceive you affects the success of the place you work for, they have every right to protect their interest and fire you.
Enough of michael obama.hes gone.never to return.
@@jenniferjones1011 we now have a Harley as 1st lady that cant keep her husband happy says a porn star.
There you go bro. I was amazed that this man said what he did on tv!
Jennifer Jones Was barely there anyway..but I would have done more than get him fired.
Jennifer Jones - Huh? Give up meth for breakfast.
he ain't professional
He doesn't know what being a professional means.
It was his fault for been so ignorant
How was he ignorant?
@Michael Chappell thats your answer?
bob saget Bc he literally said that she looked like she *belonged* in the Planet of the Apes film. Idk bout you but that speaks for itself...
@Michael Chappell how?
@Michael Chappell i will forgive the structure of your sentience, but i did ask how? Do you have thought or 'he is stupid' the whole sum of your thoughts
He picked the wrong person to mess with.
Yeah I know. Big Mike would flog him
Oh hell yes. He found that out the hard way.
@@Pedro_the_great LOl!
@@corazoncubano5372 For sure! He messed with the wound dude.
He’s talking facts
i remember this woahhhh i haven’t seen him on univision in years like his whole career went down the drain because of ignorant comment. think before you speak.
telemundo hired him, i guess they didnt care about his past
Jana Jaj no he’s still doing good he is now on not 1 tv program but 2 tv program and net worth jumped $500k higher
I never liked Rodner, he would push this "I'm an unapologetic rude gay commenter" he had made a lot of offensive comments about a lot of people but that day he messed flat out just let the Racist out.
For me he's always been the best fahoinsta in Latin television. He screwed up with his comment, bit I doubt he's a racist
@@yasminvillanueva3141 calling a black person a gorilla makes you doubt they're racist?
What did you expect from a Chipotle gay blade ?.
Lmaoooo
@Petrus Camacho No hate intended my friend. Just hitting him where it hurts 😉 💘 !
@Petrus Camacho 👍
🎤drop!!!!!!!
He looks like been to plastic surgeons more than 10 times
HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Who Michelle? Or Michael? Probably more than 100 times 😂
@@jackymnz3723Stay mad
the people who makes these ugly comments REALLY need to look into a mirror makes me wonder if they were picked on growing up and trying to do it to someone else just to make themselves feel good if so it's childish PLEASE GROW UP
He's just saying Micheal Obama's make up artist made him look like a character from Planet of Apes. Looks like context is taken out of proportion Geez 😁🇺🇸🦍
Serves him right!!
So its not ok for a 'professional' to say that?
Does that mean you think its okay to say it in an unprofessional setting? Because it's not. It's never OK.
What do expect when you say something like this? You will be dismissed from work
Because for some reason real-ness is shamed?
Make it make sense
You were thinking what he just had the balls to say
How does that make you any better?
Damn he insulted her and then blamed her he lucky I wasn't the president I would have sent the navy seals to his door step for disrespecting my wife lol he got off light
U in idiot
Este tipo, Figueroa, es un estúpido ignorante,
No vale la pena nuestra atención a el.👎
He should have been fired. That was ignorant. Had someone made a comment about him his looks, the way he's dress, his actions, etc he would have been offended.
On live TV you insulted the wife of one of the most powerful men on the planet. So you thought everyone was just going to laugh and move along. 🤔
he let the intrusive thoughts win
We all have opinions that sometimes gets us in trouble. It's best that we keep them to ourselves.
+kiera fernandez
Yes I agree. Its best that racist latinos keep their ignorant opinions to themselves.
@Inanna SolStar Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom of consequences dummy
Why, does it make you a better person if you thought what he said but didn’t have the balls to say it?
How’s that?
@@mr.j5919 it doesn’t!
He should of got fired not her fault
My first language is Spanish... When I saw the video of him making the "comment" he was really talking about the make up of her not her...but anyways, I never liked him because he make a living criticizing other people in much worse ways than his comment about Michelle Obama.
I actually see this show and in a way I'm glad they got rid of him because he is so cocky and rude. When I saw this episode I immediately knew he was going to get fired.
"*Interpreted* as racist" ????????????????????????????
Yeah because that language is known as racist and been use to keep a huge part of the world's population down for centuries.
@@ms.rstake_1211 I guess that's why Michelle Obama makes so many Racist comments about white Americans now. She likes some payback, although they never commented cause the guy is latino. Pretty reverse racist by the racist Dem Party.
It was interpreted as racist but it's not
Rodney thinks he's so cute and he has made a career out of bullying and putting other people down. I could start by pointing out that he needs to re-think his ridiculous hair style and re-evaluate his purpose in life. And this was not only his fault. The network assigned him a role to play in the show and he was given the green light to clown around.
He really thought he ate and that he was the latino Joan Rivers lol what a sad clown
I'm surprise he didn't target Trump instead, cause no one would of cared otherwise.
True...anti-white American Racism is totally free to practice at wil. Black privilege will always get you fired and perhaps worse. The anti-white Racist media wouldn't care.
@@pep590 yes, if they compare Trump to a bulldog, everyone would just laugh😀 & everyone would be cool with that. No one would of been fired for that, infact the comedian's would jump on the band wagon to put their spin on the joke about maddog Trump🤬.😀😁😂🤣
@@timelessmusicfamilymusic9175 Exactly. Again proving how Black privilege is off the charts in America. Although Michelle had not made all of her RACIST comments about white Americans at this point in history. You're an honest and true person.
@@pep590 it's like men can't make sexist jokes about women, but it's okay if women make sexist jokes about men. Men could careless, infact they probably laugh along with the women.😀😁😂🤣
He looks like a cast member himself tossing stones............... Can I say Cornelius.
oh my h
god😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well I think it's safe to say that this guy learned a very important lesson- it doesn't pay to be ignorant.
Hopefully the lesson he learned was “think before you say something”
He has a spine unlike the rest of you
Act like you don’t see it too
It just had the balls to say it
Does that make you any better?
I’d argue worse
@@mr.j5919 Lol I got a call from your office. Of course, he was fired. It costs to be racist and ignorant.
I wonder where he is now. It's says a lot that he blamed the First Lady for his own ignorance and the destruction of his career.
Rodner, not Rodney. LOL. He's such a nobody that they don't even get his name right
The Fat and the skiny
The blimp and the simp.
MaTilda D'Hum xoxo LMFAO😭🔫
...?
Ms. R that’s the name of the tv show he was on
So the make-up artist wasn't cancelled for black face?😂
So much for freedom of speech!!!
Grow up !!! Big Boys Club will not let you hinder their making Money ,What he said not the issue for them ,the ISSUE they could loss money ,friends in key positions ,in this scenario ,words on a Old Piece of paper ,that's America ,get over it
We have freedom of speech you redneck clown, what you want is freedom of consequences gl with that
We have freedom of speech you 1nbr3d clown, what you want is freedom of consequences lol gl with that
More like freedom of hate
He just pointed out a fact... How nowadays telling the truth gets you in trouble?
He gets offended for getting fired for something he said : hahaha !!
Why did you apologize...
because you're sorry you got fired?
or because you were caught... because you sure as heck aren't sorry for the statement you made... you meant it
Reminds me of the "Then Who will be cleaning your Toilets Donald Trump" comment but with a completely different outcome.
Yes, Michelle Obama has proven she is an anti-white American Racist and an American hater many times over.
@@pep590 And she looks like what this guy says to come on. So I don’t see what is the pathetical hysteria here.
So disrespectful
And they want Latinos and blacks to unite 🙄 tell Latinos to stop hating black ppl then we can talk!!
Where's the lie ?
Good...Bye Boy! Go find another job. That was awful for you to say.....
He hasn't learn anything yet and not sure when
Out of the abundance of your heart your mouth speaks....
the guy on the makeup transformation is from the philippines...he is the grandson of our national artist...
Even his apology letter wasn’t an apology.
He's Right 1000%
The man showed potraying Michelle was from the Philippines and we were thrilled that time HAHA
I heard this guy was on telemundo now. Tbh tho, his remark back then was directed at an individual person, and not a race. Wouldn't the people that assumed it was directed at a race be more racist than him? 🤔
@J G oh okay. I missed that he mentioned race. Never mind then. Rightly fired.
@@WALDENSOFTWARE he never said race. He said that the makeup artists makeup look like the planet of the apes. I think Rodner was saying that the makeup was really bad.
@@yasminvillanueva3141 And she looks like what this guy says to come on. So I don’t see what is the pathetical hysteria here.
But he says just tha tuth
lol fired for a joke now thats comedy
Fluffy u reap what u see. Learn the hard way
Lmaoo damm this actually came out on Inside Edition??lmaoooo
adios Felicia
The Ellen thing didn’t age well
He told the truth.
And she looks like what this guy says too, come on. So I don’t see what is the pathetical hysteria here.
Wheres the free speech
kezie10 he had it... now there’s consequences
It's over in your trailer park with your cowardly KKK family members...
Lol
He just had it(the free speech), but its too much
@@tracyclark7519 Michelle Obama is a man!
He’s not the First Lady if it’s a man 🤦♂️
The society shouldn't let to these kind of stupid and arrogant people to work on TV or other public arenas!
He needed to go
No way she complained. I’m sure she’s heard far worse from Republicans. I’m surprised his two co-hosts didn’t walk off the set. The world has just gone crazy! Give an upvote if you think Michelle Obama is not just gracious and intelligent, but beautiful as well! I wish Biden would make her his VP pick!
And he's an Emmy Award winner?? That should be taken as well. He's irresponsible and ignorant. Not minding that he's not even an American, that he's also a person of color, as well as an lgbt.
You damn right.
@0:34 Lili and Raúl was shook and knew he took it too far
the next time Mr Figueroa think before you speak, learn to deal with different cultures.languages
That news report is called Univision.
Cornelius would be static...
Professional not at all!! Ignorant and rude.
As a biracial male , he said the truth..😁
Ever notice "Big Mike's" 5 o'clock shadow?
What did he say wrong... ITS KINDA TRUE!! Hahahah... it wasn't about race...it was about how her facial structure actually KINDA looks like it..."like the one who likes mark Wahlbergs character"
Is it just me or at certain angles does Michelle Obama look like Sigourney Weaver? There is the shot in this video where here hair is up or short and my first thought was Weaver. (Maybe this is an already out there comparison but I usually don't see resemblances of anyone.)
OMG yes!! Lol. Good eye.
yo, you're totally right... that's amazing, never heard that before.... but I agree
T Jones yea she does look like her, she looks like the black version.
His going to get a good job under trumps desk.
Mrs. Obama was and is a class act. Let's belittle smart, compassionate, loyal. Says loads about the critics.
Gee, the most respected woman in the world is dissed by . . . who was that guy again?
most respected woman in the world? please!!! who is that woman again??? yeah..a nobody
@@marialaborda4055 sorry but you sound all kinds of dumb
@@ms.rstake_1211 And you sound like a racist.
No wonder I didn't see him anymore in the program
no y no same
Professional!!?? He shouldn't isecthat word to describe himself.
Told the truth lol
Thanks Obamas!! You did it again.
Free speech! Say what you want, dammit!
It is freedom of speech unless you say something about the Obamas. Thin skinned people.
Yup, free speech, and his network has freedom to fire him for his speech too, that's what's great about living in a free country ;-)
Free speech protects you from government limitation not from employers' consequences. Just admit that you enable racism.
Yep.
I never knew this was on the English news?
At least he said what he felt.Most people still hiding behind the hood
hahahaha... you can laugh with everybody but not with Michael
He sounds like mini trump.
You Just DON'T AFTER MICHELLE OBAMA lol
Black privilege will get you every time.
Trump is probably about to shut down Univision anyway lmaooooo
So this was probably the reason why I never saw him anymore
What goes around....It just goes to show how racists think! Then blame the victim. Ummm really?
I never found him personally
A kid in a adult body
And Mexicans don’t think they’re racist 😂
He’s not mexican😂😂
Pus si la vieja es igualita!!! q... no pueden con la crítica?!!
Mera shhh 😂
El dijo lo que muchos piensan y no se atreven a decir...
To bad, what he said was ignorant. Think next time
Thats a Venzuelan does.
I could think of a name for him.
Love you and miss you Michelle!
good work lol now lets a quickly do something about real racists that actually matter
Oh yeah definitely her fault and not his. 🙄
Figueroa you did wrong.
She was letting you AND your employer know how NOT to be a racist.
