Kelly Osbourne threatens to quit Fashion Police in epic Twitter rant

It looks like this Fashion Police controversy is not going to die down anytime soon.

After a special Academy Awards episode of the show was broadcast on Monday night, host Giuliana Rancic was forced to apologise for some badly thought-out comments about actress Zendaya's dreadlocks – but she's not the only one feeling the pressure to say sorry.

During the show, Giuliana said, "I feel like she smells like patchouli oil," when discussing Zendaya's choice to have dreadlocks on the red carpet.

Another host then added, "Or weed!", and Giuliana laughingly agreed.

However Giuliana's co-host Kelly Osbourne has also been receiving a huge amount of criticism online, as many viewers believe it was she who firstly mentioned that Zendaya's hair must smell like weed. As the camera was not on the hosts when the comment was made, it is hard to tell who was speaking, and despite the backlash Kelly insists it was not her.

The 30-year-old went on an epic Twitter rant last night, saying she was contractually not allowed to say anything but that she would quit the show if her name was not cleared soon.

"I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMENT. I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SEREIOULSY QUESTIONONIG STAYING ON THE SHOW!" she wrote during her online tirade.

I WILL NOT BE DRAGED INTO THIS! The situation is being rectified like ADULTS by both parties. I hope you can leave it to them & do the same!

After initially posting an apology on Twitter yesterday, Giuliana has since recorded a televised apology too, during which she says it was never her intention to offend anyone:
