And the wheels keep turning over at ‘Fashion Police’ as yet another cast member has left the show. Earlier this year Kathy Griffin stepped up to take over as the lead host of the hit E! show in the place of her friend, the late Joan Rivers.
Within the first few episodes of the show, many noticed that Kathy appeared to struggle to fit with the format of the show and rumors began circulating that she and the other ladies Giuliana Rancic and Kelly Osbourne were not all that chummy behind the scenes. Then just two weeks ago after the major backlash over a comment made by Giuliana and alleged issues with producers, Kelly departed the show.
Producers have been on the search for Kelly’s replacement and it looks like they now need to expand their search for a new host. Just moments ago Kathy took to her Facebook page to share that she has now left the show, after only a few weeks. Check out her post below.
Producers of the show followed up and confirmed the news that Kathy would be departing.
“We can confirm that Kathy Griffin is leaving E!’s ‘Fashion Police,’” the network said in a statement on Thursday night. “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.”
Earlier this week prior to her departure announcement Kathy spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times’ Splash Magazine about Rancic’s controversial comments and stated she “wouldn’t have said the joke in the first place.”
“Don’t have anyone write you jokes or even suggest jokes for you on ‘Fashion Police” “You have enough great insider gossip from actually being on the red carpet. That’s what fans want to hear the next day. Just talk and be yourself.”
Kathy also talked Kelly’s departure “Sometimes she seemed very upset at the merely seven tapings of ‘Fashion Police’ we did together.” she revealed.
The show is currently on break while they searched for Kelly’s replacement and was set to return on March 30. Looks like they will be putting their search in overdrive, so now that means two of the rumored contenders have a chance instead of one.
Before Kathy’s announcement tonight Khloe Kardashian, Nene Leakes, Chrissy Teigen, and Amber Rose had all been mentioned as possible replacements for Kelly. Porsha Williams and Ochocinco also expressed interest in wanting to join the show as we told you HERE.
