Kelly Osbourne makes good her threat to quit Fashion Police days after Giuliana Rancic's Zendaya jibe

Apology: Giuliana Rancic was forced to apologize after joking that Zendaya's dreadlocks at the Oscars would 'smell of patchouli' or 'weed'

'Kelly threw her under the bus': Access Hollywood host Billy Bush said he 'doubts' things are OK between Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic. However, a source insisted Kelly's possible departure has nothing to do with the Zendaya row

Threatening to leave: Earlier this week Kelly suggested she would quit the show if Giuliana didn't 'make it right'

Kelly Osbourne has quit Fashion Police - just days after her co-star Giuliana Rancic was forced to apologize over a joke about Disney star Zendaya Coleman.
The lilac-haired star, 30, has been a fixture on the show since 2011.
E! confirmed Kelly's departure on Friday with a statement: '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.

'Fashion Police will return, as scheduled, on Friday, March 30th at 9:00 p.m. and no decisions have been made on her replacement,' the statement went on to explain.
Earlier that day a source told Daily Mail Online: 'Kelly stayed on the show after the beloved Joan Rivers passed away, but nothing has been the same since.
'The chemistry has not been the same between the hosts since the show came back on air and Kelly knows it's time to move on.'  
Kelly fired back on Twitter after her co-star Giuliana said Zendaya's Oscar dreadlocks looked like they would 'smell of patchouli' or 'weed' on the Academy Awards Fashion Police special on Monday night. 
She raged: 'I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT OF THIS IM SERIOUSLY QUESTIONING STAYING ON THE SHOW[sic].'
However, the source insisted: 'This has nothing to do Giuliana. Zendaya accepted Giuliana's apology and she's already moved on to a new hair style!
'Even Kelly tweeted 'this too shall pass' and was over it.
'Joan was the mama bear, she stopped all the quarrels and held the show together, even when Kelly was being testy.'
When Fashion Police returned on air following Joan's death, Kathy Griffin was at the helm, with stylist Brad Goreski brought on board.
E! execs are now keen to revamp the show before it returns in March.

    Racism has always been a thorny issue. A lot of white people are racists on the inside but just pretend they are cool with hanging out with and having friends from diverse races. I hope the show will survive this racist storm.

    People should learn to keep their tainted beliefs to themselves especially when they are on TV
