In the midst of enormous criticism from the public claiming that Fashion Police erred in allowing a joke about Zendaya's hair to make it on air after the Oscars, Kelly Osbourne has decided to leave the show.
"Kelly Osbourne is departing E!s Fashion Police to
pursue other opportunities," E! announced Friday. "We would like to
thank her for her many contributions to the series over the past five
years, during which time the show became a hit with viewers."
E!
went on to say the show will return as scheduled on Friday, March 30,
at 9 p.m. and that no decisions have been made on her replacement.
After Rancic made the comment during Monday's post-Oscar show about Zendaya's dreadlocks and how they looked like they smelled "patchouli" or "weed," Osbourne threatened to leave the show,
Tweeting that unless "the situation" was "rectified like ADULTS by both
parties" that she would walk. She also went on to say that Zendaya is a
friend and that she does not "condone racism."
Rancic apologized via Twitter and during an E! News broadcast later that day. Zendaya, who stars on the Disney Channel show K.C. Undercover, also accepted her apology.
