Guiliana and Kelly irked me by their snickering and put downs of Brad on his pronunciation of Louis Vuitton. He pronounced it correctly. They are the ones who were incorrect. It's a French name. Guiliana had that pointed out to her, and she said well, we're in America now. No, you pronounce names correctly no matter what their origin. Her maiden name is Italian. I wonder if she would like to have it mispronounced (Diepandeye?) Don't think so.

That bothered me, too. I didn't like the way they treated Brad all night. He has really good comments on the clothes and knows what he's talking about.

He's the only one that knows what he is talking about. I look at the way Kelly and G dress and I think they have some nerve to criticize anyone.

It was a Rastafarian slur and stereotype in my estimation.

It very well could have been. My first thought was about the Grateful Dead and not Rastafarian because the Rastafarians I know don't wear patchouli, that is why they didn't pop into my mind.

Giuliana should not critique anyone. I think she looks like...

What's a Rastafarian?

Posts slamming G certainly aren't helpful. They are just as bad.

I think Kelly is mad and threatening to quit because somehow she was implicated in this mess and said she doesn't condone racism. Kelly's spelling skills leave a lot to be desired but I digress.

I have seen what was said on The View this morning and I'm sorry but I don't understand the hypocrisy. If it would have been okay for Joan to make the joke, it should be okay for G to make the joke. The fact of the matter is, it's not okay for anyone to say something like that. I don't care who you are. Racist is racist regardless of who it's coming from.

Kelly was laughing at G's comment very loudly as I remember. If she doesn't condone stereotyping, then she shouldn't encourage it with laughter.

Kelly did not laugh at that comment but Kathy and Brad did. Kelly had a stunned look on her face after G made the comment.

I thought she did, but then she was cackling at everything throughout the whole show, so maybe she didn't laugh at this particular comment. I'll have to watch again, if I can stand it to get everyone's take on what G said. What did Kathy do?

I may be wrong but I believe G said patouchli oil and Kathy is the one that said weed and G repeated "yeah, maybe weed."

I don't think Kelly did anything and is upset that she got lumped into the fray as if she was a part of the comments.

They really are.
