Kelly Osbourne Officially Quits Fashion Police, No Replacement Has Yet Been Chosen
Following Joan Rivers' death, Fashion Police was plagued with a series of unfortunate incidents, including Giuliana Rancic's alleged racist comments regarding Zendaya Coleman, and the sudden exits of her fellow hosts, Kathy Griffin and Kelly Osbourne.
“Kathy Griffin quit after just seven episodes and slammed the entire concept of mocking celebrity fashions on her way,” said the source. “Melissa will never forgive her for that.”
“She now see’s it as part of her mother’s legacy to see that the show survives,” a second source added. “Many think that the show is not salvageable. But Melissa is trying to convince the network that all will be great again if she becomes one of the hosts.”
Fashion Police returns to the E! Network this September.
