Kathy Griffin To Officially Replace Joan Rivers On 'Fashion Police'
Just two weeks after E! Entertainment announced the exit of Kelly Osbourne, Griffin has followed suit, revealing to fans on Twitter that she will not be seen when the show returns later this month.
"I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference," Griffin wrote in her statement. "After 7 episodes of Fashion Police, I discovered that my style does not fit with the creative direction of the show & now it’s time to move on."

Griffin was announced as the replacement for Joan Rivers in January, four months after the comedian tragically passed away after a botched throat procedure.
"I wish E! and the E! team only the best and I hope to continue to make you all laugh performing live or on television where I can be smart, irrelevant, unrepentant and unafraid in an observational way that is candid, honest and justified."
On Feb. 27, Osbourne's exit was announced by E!, who confirmed the show would go on without Osbourne, but revealed there had not yet been a replacement found.
"Kelly Osbourne is departing E!s Fashion Police to pursue other opportunities, and we would like to thank her for her many contributions to the series over the past five years, during which time the show became a hit with viewers," the statement read.
Fashion Police is scheduled to return to E! on March 30.
