Apparently Guliana Rancic’s statement on Zendaya’s hair caused more trouble than predicted.

First off, after the unfortunate incident that brought about incitement such as racism and disrespect for culture following the co-host’s provocative statement, Kelly Osborne quit the show. Now, new replacement to late Joan Rivers, the icon of the show, has quit as well.

In a statement released via Twitter, the comedienne regretted her decision but said it was necessary.

She said, “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.”

When I chose to step into the shoes of my beloved friend Joan River at Fashion Police, I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a woman being brash and eccentric on television.

I am a freedom loving female and gay rights activist who loves to find the funny in all people, attitudes, beliefs, and appearances, but only when the context permits intelligent humor.’

I thought that I could bring my brand of humour to Fashion Police so that beautiful people in beautiful dresses could be teased when appropriate. My brand of humour, 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. Again people… context! Listen, I’m no saint – I’m a feminist AND a Gurrrrl who loves an offensive joke or a well-timed barb and you will find plenty in my repertoire. But I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference. “

This is really sad that the show is falling to pieces.
