Shock as another presenter quits Fashion Police on Twitter
After Kelly Osbourne's dramatic exit from Fashion Police earlier this month, yet another presenter has decided to leave the show.
Kathy Griffin, who was announced as Joan Rivers' replacement back in November, has quit the show after appearing on just seven episodes.
It seems her departure may be linked to recent drama over Giulana Rancic's comments about singer Zendaya wearing dreadlocks on the red carpet.
Kelly made it clear that her decision to depart was very much linked to the Zendaya scandal, and now it seems Kathy may have followed suit.
"I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show and now it's time to move on," the comedienne explained on Twitter last night. "My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about CONTEXT…Listen, I am no saint…But I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference.”

E! released a statement late last night thanking Kathy for her short-lived time on the show. "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," it read.
Fashion Police will air as normal next Monday with Joan Rivers' daughter Melissa – who is also the show's executive producer – stepping in to take Kathy's place alongside Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski.
