Talk Show Host Fired For Saying Michelle Obama, “Looks Like Someone From ‘Planet of the Apes'”

Univision has fired a longtime talk show host for saying that first lady Michelle Obama looks like someone from Planet of the Apes. During Wednesday’s broadcast of El Gordo y la Flaca — as the hosts commented on the video of a makeup artist who transforms himself into different celebrities, including Mrs. Obama — Rodner Figueroa said:

“Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she’s from the cast of Planet of the Apes, the movie.”

Univision said Figueroa’s comments were:

“completely reprehensible” and “in no way reflect the values or opinions of Univision.”

AP said that Figueroa is “known for his biting fashion commentary” reported:

“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.'”

Figueroa had worked 17 years for Univision. This trashing celebs is an epidemic but when it “borders” on racism, and the commenter doubles down on the First Lady, they shouldn’t be surprised when they are sent packing. In other words, Check yourself before you wreck yourself, girl! (via USA Today)
