Kathy Griffin quits “Fashion Police”
There is bigtime trouble over at E!’s Fashion Police and you gotta wonder if the show still has a future.
Kathy Griffin has quit the show less than three months after joining as a replacement for the late Joan Rivers.
Griffin posted a lengthy explanation for her departure on her Twitter page.
‘I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show,’ she wrote. ‘Now it’s time to move on.’
The show had stopped production last fall when Rivers unexpectedly died shortly after the Emmy Awards edition aired.
Production resumed in January with a Golden Globes edition with new panelists Griffin and Brad Goreski joining returnees Giuliana Rancic and Kelly Osbourne.
Rancic got into hot water last month when a joke written for her about actress Zendaya’s dreadlocks. She said they made the Disney star look as if she smelled ‘like patchouli oil’ or ‘weed.’
Rancic apologized on the air and it was later revealed that editing took the joke out of context and make Rancic look even worse.
Osbourne, who had been outraged by the Zendaya incident, quit the show last week after five years as a panelist.
Here is Griffin’s full explanation for her departure:
