MIAMI (AP) — Talk show host Rodner Figueroa was fired from Univision after saying that Michelle Obama looks like someone from the cast of "Planet of the Apes."
Figueroa, who's known for his biting fashion commentary, made his remarks during a live segment of the show "El Gordo y la Flaca" in which the hosts were commenting on a viral video that shows a makeup artist transforming himself into different celebrities, including Michelle Obama.
"Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's from the cast of 'Planet of the Apes,' the movie," Figueroa, 42, said with a giggle.
When hostess Lili Estefan countered with "What are you saying?" and host Raul de Molina said Obama was very attractive, Figueroa defended his remark, saying "but it is true."
In a statement, Univision called Figueroa's comments "completely reprehensible" and said they "in no way reflect the values or opinions of Univision."
Figueroa, who in 2014 won a Daytime Emmy Award, did not respond to requests for comment Thursday. He worked for Univision for 17 years and had been on "El Gordo y la Flaca" since 2000.

Fired for truth

[SupremeGuy]

Yeah, there's going to be A LOT of this when Hispanics become the majority in the US. :lol

Except by that time, with a majority, they're not going to fire anyone. That shit'll probably get him a raise in 20 years.

:lmao I've thought of that comparison since fucking 2007 when I first saw her

What gets me the most about fucking Mexicans is how they can't let that 16 year old stay home and baby sit the other half dozen. Why this need to haul the whole tribe everywhere they go? And then forget about that 5 and 7 year old.

I live in Mexico North, central Cali.

The guy shot himself in the foot when he elaborated more on it. Should have stopped at "She looks like she came from the Planet of The Apes" comment.

He could have easily played it off by saying it was because celebs were being "transformed" via makeup.

Do something stupid that brings negative attention to your employer and you'll get fired. Who doesn't understand that?

Pretty much..it's amazing how many people don't realize we're in 2015, tbh:lol..

Even those White racists on the bus should have realized they were probably being taped, let alone a guy trashing the American president's wife on a fucking popular network..smh..

His co-hosts were on their games, though, they immediately threw this nigga under the bus:lmao..

I said the same thing about Jay-Z vs. Ray Rice, earlier..

Jay-Z, the wealthiest rapper in the world, while Beyonce's sister is attacking him- "Somebody is probably watching, I'm just going to hold this bitch back, not letting some hoodrat hurt my image"

Ray Rice, a declining RB with no star power, while his fiance attacks him- "Fuck this bitch, I don't give a fuck, I play in the NFL, I can hide this shit"

Have to be aware of your circumstances and the current society we live in, tbh..

[ohmwrecker]

That guy doesn't have a lot of room to talk. He looks like a chimp.

They got that zero tolerance policy going strong over there.

This really didn't warrant a firing. Suspension without pay for sure, but flat out firing a guy whose supposedly have worked there for 17 years? Not even giving the guy the benefit of the doubt.

no room for that on their network. a shitload of hispanic/latin stars have african blood in them.

She's got a piranha face.

You take a white guy who looks like a caveman and say he looks like a caveman and no one gives a shit. You take a black man that looks like a monkey and you say he looks like a monkey and it's racism.

I think the monkeys are writing letters tbh.

Why do you think that is?

[z0sa]

We all look somewhat like monkeys - who recent common ancestor thing goin on, tbh. Calling it racist is fucking dumb.

Also, Michelle Obama is ugly as shit.
