Zendaya Coleman is happy that Giuliana Rancic finally admitted she did "cross the line" with her insensitive comments about the Disney star's Oscars look after her previous half-hearted apology on Twitter. "I appreciate your apology and I'm glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network," she said in a lengthy statement posted on Twitter.

Supports are pouring in for the "Shake It Up" actress from fellow celebrities. "Scandal" actress Kerry Washington wrote to her, "Well done Beautiful. XO." "How to Get Away with Murder" star Viola Davis tweeted, "You are beauty personified. I celebrate you sis!"
"Selma" director Ava DuVernay praised the young star, "You're beautiful, Queen. We bless the ignorant and wish them well. Onward. xo." Khloe Kardashian joined the supporters, "You are a gorgeous, intelligent young lady! I love all that you represent! Keep empowering and shine bright! [kiss]."
The drama started after Giuliana dissed Zendaya who rocked dreadlocks at the Academy Awards. The E! host said Zendaya hair smelled like "patchouli oil... or maybe weed." The Mouse House actress slammed fashion critic for being racist, but Giuliana insisted she "was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!"
An angry Kelly Osbourne threatened to quit "Fashion Police" when she was dragged into the controversy. "The situation is being rectified like ADULTS by both parties. I hope you can leave it to them & do the same!" she previously tweeted. "Im giving everyone involved 24 hours to make it right or the world will hear how I really feel."
