Raven-Symoné Defends Univision Host

Last week controversy ensued when Univision host Rodner Figueroa said, on air, “Michelle Obama looks like she’s part of the cast of Planet of the Apes.” Figueroa would later go on to apologize, saying he’s not racist and that he had voted for President Obama twice. The damage was done, though, and Figueroa was quickly fired. The ladies of The View discussed the story Monday. Raven-Symoné, filling in as a guest host said, “Michelle, don’t fire me from this right now, but some people look like animals. Is that rude? I look like a bird, I look like a bird. So can I be mad if someone called me Toucan Sam?”
