Rosie O\u2019Donnell<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is not impressed with what went down at President Donald Trump<\/span><\/a><\/strong> and the White House\u2019s UFC Freedom 250 event<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was disgraceful and embarrassing, and he should be ashamed of himself for doing it,\u201d O\u2019Donnell, 64, told TMZ<\/span><\/a> in an interview published on Monday, June 15, before slamming his voters for perpetuating \u201cracist\u201d stereotypes and more.<\/p>\n

The former cohost of The View<\/i> is one of Trump\u2019s most prominent and long-standing celebrity critics. Their feud has spanned nearly two decades, with O\u2019Donnell critical of his politics and his character.<\/p>\n

She moved to Dublin, Ireland, before the presidential inauguration in January 2025, partly to be away from Trump\u2019s politics.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe White House\u2019s UFC Freedom 250 event sparked controversy after a participant disparaged former first lady Michelle Obama. Shortly after defeating fellow heavyweight Derrick Lewis on Sunday, June 14, UFC fighter Josh Hokit raised eyebrows when he declared in a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan that \u201cMichelle Obama is a man. Am I right, America?\u201d [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One moment at the UFC Freedom 250 event that left the former talk show host fuming was hearing UFC fighter Josh Hokit<\/strong> declare in a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan<\/strong> that \u201cMichelle Obama<\/strong> is a man. Am I right, America?\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked if she saw the disparaging comment, O\u2019Donnell replied, \u201cYes, and that\u2019s exactly what Trump is and that\u2019s exactly what his fans are \u2014 racist, homophobic, un-American.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Obamas have not addressed<\/span><\/a> Hokit\u2019s comment, the White House seemingly dodged the controversial remark when spokesman Steven Cheung<\/strong> was asked about the fight<\/span><\/a> by celebrity.land\u2019s Jake Tapper<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Lewis] had a great win last night,\u201d Cheung said on Monday. \u201cHe showed toughness and the ability to pressure his opponent both on his feet and on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Donnell isn\u2019t the first celebrity to express her dismay at Hokit\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n

During Monday\u2019s episode of The View<\/i><\/span><\/a>, Sunny Hostin<\/strong> said it was \u201cimportant\u201d to address the comment during the show\u2019s \u201cHot Topics<\/span><\/a>\u201d segment.<\/p>\n
