Kathy Griffin joined "Fashion Police" to replace the late Joan Rivers. She left following controversy surrounding Giuliana Rancic's insensitive comments about Zendaya Coleman's Oscars deadlocks. Without mentioning the debacle, she suggested the show was just too mean spirited for her.
E! responded, "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. 'Fashion Police' will return, as scheduled, on Monday, March 30 at 9pm with our talented Co-Hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski and Executive Producer Melissa Rivers. No further information is available at this time."
