Kelly Osbourne says 'Fashion Police' was best job ever before blasting co-host Giuliana Rancic over 'racist' comments
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Kelly Osbourne has mixed memories while remembering her time on the 'Fashion Police’ show.
During a recent episode of her 'The Osbournes Podcast', the TV personality talked about her stint at E!’s former fashion commentary show, run by the late Joan Rivers.
Kelly Osbourne says co-hosting 'Fashion Police' was her best job but Giuliana Rancic ruined it
The 'Fashion Police' show premiered in 2010, in which Kelly co-hosted along with fashion editor George Kotsiopoulos and E! News co-anchor Giuliana Rancic.
During the podcast episode, Kelly lauded it as "the best job I've ever had" and "the closest thing that I had to working with my mom."
However, she was quick to lambast Rancic, "We don't need to give her any f*****g anything," Kelly replied when Sharon mentioned the 49-year-old.
Her brother Jack shared with the listeners the friction between the two. During one of the episodes of ‘Fashion Police’, Rancic commented on Zendaya’s look, and said she smelled of “weed” and “patchouli'' because of the dreadlocks she wore to the 2015 Oscars.
Why did Kelly Osbourne leave 'Fashion Police'?
The E! News anchor later apologized for her statement, but Kelly left the show, over confusion surrounding the controversial remark, per People.
"One of the co-hosts of the show made a really kind of a f*****g racist comment about her hair, and nothing happened to the woman that that made the comment," Jack explained.
"And then Kelly kind of took the stand of, like, ‘That's f****d up. I don't wanna work with someone like that.’ And then it somehow got turned around that Kelly said the comment, but Kelly didn't say the comment." Jack continued.
On this, Kelly clarified, "It turned into this whole thing, and it made me take a long hard look at where I was, and it made me realize that I didn't wanna be there without Joan."
"It's one of my biggest regrets in all of it, to be honest with you, was how Melissa [Rivers] got hurt in all of it because she had just lost her mom and then the show," she told during the podcast.
Joan’s daughter Melissa Rivers joined 'Fashion Police' in 2015, replacing her mother after her death a year earlier, and the show was called off in 2017.
