“FASHION POLICE” IS ON HIATUS UNTIL SEPTEMBER

Spread the love

Three weeks
after E! aired the Fashion Police Oscar special that sparked controversy
surrounding co-host Giuliana Rancic’s comments about Zendaya’s hair, the
network announced it is putting the show on hiatus for six months.
The news comes
after two of Fashion Police’s four hosts, Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin,
quit the show. Griffin issued a statement on Twitter on March 12 explaining her
decision to leave Fashion Police after only seven episodes, filmed over the
course of two months. The day after E!’s announcement, Griffin went on The View
and The Howard Stern Show to elaborate on her decision, stating she felt all
the hosts “should have just improvised,” rather than reading pre-written jokes
(which was the case with Rancic’s controversial comment). Griffin also eluded
to Stern that she felt taking Joan Rivers’ seat was a mistake, stating she
“probably shouldn’t have taken the gig.”

When Griffin
announced her departure, E! said Rivers, Rancic, and Brad Goreski would appear
in a March 30 episode of Fashion Police. Though that episode is no longer
scheduled, Rancic and Goreski will remain on the show, according to E!
In a
statement, the network said, “E!’s comedy series Fashion Police is going on
hiatus and will return in September. We look forward to taking this opportunity
to refresh the show before the next awards season. Our talented co-hosts
Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski, along with executive producer Melissa Rivers,
will continue their roles as we evolve the show into its next chapter for the
legions of Fashion Police fans around the world.”
