Fashion Police is already a trending topic for all journalists and it just got more interesting with the news that Kathy Griffin is leaving the show shortly after Kelly Osbourne exited.
Griffin announced her exit from the show Thursday, just a day after she told Chicago Sun-Times that she ”would never have said the joke” herself which put Rancic in the hot seat. Griffin was distancing herself from the controversial Giuliana Rancic comment about Zendaya during her interview with Chicago Sun-Times. Griffin is the second host to leave the show in a short period, two weeks actually and just after only seven episodes. Griffin took to Twitter stating, " My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about CONTEXT. There is plenty to make fun of in pop culture without bringing people's bodies into it… After 7 episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show & now it's time to move on."
Osbourne left the series after Giuliana Rancic’s controversial joke about Zendaya’s dreadlocks that made her look like she "smells like patchouli oil... or weed." even after Rancic apologised which Zendaya accepted.
