Following Kelly Osbourne’s surprising Fashion Police exit, staffers at the E! show are reportedly nervous about Joan Rivers’ legacy being tarnished.
Osbourne quit after the backlash that ensued from Giuiana Rancic’s comment on Zendaya’s hair. Although Rancic apologized publicly, Osbourne just couldn’t get over it.
Her mom, Sharon Osbourne, tweeted after she quit, “@KellyOsbourne, I am so proud of you. You can never be bought. You always wear your heart on your sleeve. #ProudToBeYourMum.”
According to TMZ, it’s chaos behind the scenes as staffers think going forward, Rancic will censor herself to avoid any type of scandal like the Zendaya debacle. They also worry the other hosts, Kathy Griffin and Brad Goreski, will do the same.
Rivers’ daughter, Melissa Rivers, reportedly wants to keep her mom’s legacy alive – which was being the snarky, colorful host she was.
Everyone else working on the show also reportedly thinks this Zendaya backlash will ruin everything Rivers worked so hard to build.
