Kelly Osbourne's feud with Giuliana Rancic is apparently never-ending.

"If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?" Osbourne said, prompting extreme backlash from social media about how she's racist and no better than Rancic.
When asked about strangers bashing her, Osbourne -- who repeatedly apologized for her misuse of words and insisted she didn't mean how they came across -- told Us Weekly on Saturday, "Do you know why? Because of people like Giuliana Rancic."
Osbourne's offensive "toilet" remark sparked criticism from people saying her mistake was karma as a result of how she had treated Rancic, her former Fashion Police co-host, who said Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks must've smelled like "patchouli oil or weed" at the Oscars this year. Osbourne blew up her spot on Twitter by writing, "I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM," and then quit Fashion Police shortly afterwards.
Rancic had said her joke was edited out of context in the Fashion Police broadcast, but Osbourne made it clear she wasn't buying that story.
"What's any different from the 'mistake' or poor choice of words your co-host, Giuliana Rancic, made on the Fashion Police, when you publicly ousted her! If anything, what you said was worse!" one Twitter user wrote.
"Don't blame me for other people's mistakes. I wasn't edited," Osbourne told Us of her toilet-cleaning joke. "It wasn't a premeditated attack. And if I watched it, I would hate me too. So I have no problem, and I would do whatever I have to, to make it right. But don't compare me to her."
Osbourne also pointed out that her segment on The View was significantly edited down.
"You can see that they cut me off," Osbourne said. "You only saw a 6-second clip. When you watch the full episode, it's a different story. But I'm not going to make up excuses because I don't need to. I know who I am."
And Osbourne didn't stop there. She additionally told The Wrap, "I will never admit to liking Giuliana because I don't. I don't think she's a good person and I think she’s a liar."
Rancic, on the other hand, doesn't want to encourage or engage Osbourne in this battle. She recently said on E! News she has chosen to take the high road and refuses to comment.
