The Actual Cause of Rosie Perez Leaving The View

There are plenty of theories circulating about the actual cause of Rosie Perez's exit from The View. These theories include her inability to read from a TelePrompTer, the fallout with her actor cousin Sixto Ramos, and a new love interest. Let's take a look at these theories to get a better understanding of what caused Perez to leave the show.

Inability to read from a TelePrompTer

ABC's "The View" is on the lookout for its next female co-host, but there are no guarantees that Perez will return. The star actress took a month off in January to pursue a Broadway show. It is unclear whether she left the show on her own accord or because ABC is scrambling to replace her.

The "View" producers have yet to officially confirm or deny Perez's departure. ABC has yet to confirm her departure, but a rep for the show denied the reports. The rep said that Perez had no plans to leave the show and that her status hadn't changed. Rosie O'Donnell will remain the show's host.

Perez, who was hired as a surprise last year, wasn't able to get used to the show's blend of soft news and hard news. The show's mix of hard and soft news, combined with her inability to read from a TelePrompTer, made Perez a less than perfect host. She'll appear next in Larry David's play, Fish in the Dark.

Fall out with Kelly Osbourne

If Rosie Perez is stepping down from The View, it's likely due to her fall out with co-host Kelly Osbourne. Last month, Kelly Osbourne made some controversial remarks about the presidential race. During her interview with Whoopi Goldberg, Osbourne claimed that "if you kick every Latino out of the country, we'll have a white nation." The comment was quickly backtracked after the show's hosts were contacted by the media. Rosie Perez, however, stood up for Kelly Osbourne and even tweeted that "her heart is pure."

After the show, the two appeared to have a fallout, which prompted Rosie Perez to bolt to her dressing room and demand an apology. When ABC executives arrived, she refused and yelled at them, resulting in a heated argument. The episode was subsequently pulled from the ABC website, Hulu, and YouTube. Rosie Perez left the show last month.

In an interview with The New York Times, Rosie Perez criticized the show's racial stereotypes. She said that she believed "latinos aren't the only people" doing things like being racist and sexist. However, Osbourne later apologized for her gaffe, so Perez has left the show. Nicolle Wallace is expected to replace Rosie at The View.
