Kathy Griffin Ditches ‘Fashion Police’

CREATIVE DIFFERENCES

After just seven episodes.

Less than two weeks after co-host Kelly Osbourne’s abrupt departure, Kathy Griffin is quitting Fashion Police: “After seven episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show and now it’s time to move on,” Griffin said in a series of tweets. Griffin’s exit leaves just two hosts of the E! show. Osbourne quit Feb. 27, days after co-host Giuliana Rancic made an off-color joke about the actress Zendaya Coleman’s dreadlocks. Griffin said Wednesday of Rancic’s remark: “I wouldn’t have said the joke in the first place. Some dude wrote it for her.” A rep for E! confirmed Griffin's departure in a statement: “We wish her all the best and are grateful for her time on the show, as well as the many laughs that she gave us all.”
