Kelly Osbourne quits E!'s 'Fashion Police'

In a statement, the cable net announced, “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.”

The news comes just days after co-host Giuliana Rancic made remarks on the Feb. 23 show about Disney starlet Zendaya, saying her dreadlocked hairstyle at the Oscars probably “smells like patchouli oil” or “weed,” which was understood by some to be racially insensitive.

The backlash from Rancic's comment fell onto Osbourne who took to Twitter to convey her displeasure over the situation.

"I DID NOT MAKE THE WEED COMENT [sic]", Osborne tweeted on Tuesday." I DOT NOT CONDONE RACISM SO AS A RSULT [sic] OF THIS IM SEREIOUSLY [sic] QUESTIONONIG [sic] STAYING ON THE SHOW!"

Giuliana Rancic has since apologized for her comments.

E! said that the show would return as scheduled on Friday, March 30 and that no decisions have yet been made on Osbourne's replacement.
