Kelly Osbourne Quitting ‘Fashion Police’ Over Weed Comment About Zendaya’s Dreadlocks?
“Fashion Police” co-host Kelly Osbourne might quit the E! show after co-host Giuliana Rancic said that actress-singer Zendaya’s Oscar dreadlocks reminded her of patchouli oil and weed. It was first thought Osbourne, 30, was the one who made the weed comment, but she took to Twitter to set the record straight Tuesday.
She wrote her message in all capital letters: “I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMENT. I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM [SERIOULSY] QUESTIONONIG STAYING ON THE SHOW!” The post received more than 650 retweets and more than 800 favorites in less than an hour.
Just minutes earlier, Osbourne said she would not make a comment because she was “contractually” not allowed to speak. “I’m giving everyone involved 24 hours to make it right or the world will hear how I really feel. [Contractually] I’m not allowed to speak!”
Earlier, the lavender-haired fashionista said she and Zendaya were friends and that she refused to be “dragged” into the drama. “I hope you can leave it to them & do the same,” she tweeted.
Zendaya, 18, has not responded to Osbourne’s comments. Instead, she changed her Twitter picture to reflect her Oscar look and shared a message sent to her by “Selma” director Ava DuVernay.
“You're beautiful, Queen. We bless the ignorant and wish them well. Onward. xo,” DuVernay wrote in a post.
Since her Twitter apology Monday night, Rancic, 40, has not issued a follow-up tweet. She appears to have stayed off Twitter.
Not surprisingly, E! News has not reported on the blow-up. While most popular news sites have covered Rancic’s comment, the trending stories on E! News are photos of Jessica Biel’s baby bump, the newly revealed “Dancing With the Stars” cast for Season 20 and Christina Aguilera’s impersonation of Britney Spears on Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show.”
