After 7 episodes, Kathy Griffin set to quit E!'s Fashion Police


54-year-old Kathy Griffin has announced that she is leaving the show on which she replaced her late friend, Joan Rivers.

In her words, 

“When I chose to step into the shows of my beloved friend Joan Rivers at Fashion Police, I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a woman being brash and eccentric on television,” she wrote. “I thought that I could bring my brand of humor to Fashion Police so that beautiful people in beautiful dresses could be teased when appropriate. My brand of humor, while unrepentant and unafraid, is all about context. There is plenty to make fun of in pop culture without bringing people’s bodies into it.” Griffin goes on to say that while she’s not a saint, she is a feminist and doesn’t want to participate in an activity that contributes to a “culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference.”
Looks like her leaving the show is not unconnected to Kelly Osbourne also quitting the show after Giuliana Rancic’s controversial remarks about Zendaya’s hair.

E! also confirmed the 54-year-old’s exit. “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,” the network said in a statement.

Indeed Fashion Police wil never be the same after Joan Rivers. Never.
