I haven’t been following the ongoing back and forth in the Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic feud. We’ve seen Kelly have public beefs and actual fights with many celebrities while Giuliana has been somewhat gracious (shocking, I know) whenever she’s disagreed with or called out someone.
So, in my mind, Kelly is probably the one causing and perpetuating this fight. That does seem to be the case, as Kelly gave an interview last week to People Magazine in which she went on about Giuliana’s Fashion Police comments about Zendaya. I’m not going to do a full recap on the controversy, you probably know the details. Giuliana discussed it again during her book tour, saying that she never meant for the Zendaya dread comments to be racist, that her words were taken out of context and that no one on the Fashion Police set warned her not to say that.
Kelly tweeted “Liars ALWAYS get caught!” right around the time that Giuliana was making those claims, and everyone knew what she was referring to. Then Kelly went on to People about it. She said, in part “Giuliana is not often wrong. She really isn’t, but it’s been really, really heartbreaking to see her behavior that has transpired when she did get caught being wrong. That’s what broke my heart.” She also claimed that “There’s been so much drama surrounded by what went on at Fashion Police that I have chosen to keep quiet about,” which belies belief. If Kelly is pissed off at something or someone, she will tweet and complain about it incessantly.
A new article in US quotes a “source” (Giuliana) who claims that Kelly “is dead to” Giuliana now. It’s all very Corleone, but I don’t blame Giuliana. Kelly quit the show and made such a stink about Giuliana’s comments, which she apologized for. Kelly should have dropped it. Here’s more:
Sources reveal in the new issue of Us Weekly that Giuliana Rancic believes her former friend and Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne didn’t have her back after she made controversial on-air remarks about Disney star Zendaya Coleman — and she’s still fuming. Says an insider: “Kelly is dead to Giuliana.”
After Rancic mused on-air Feb. 23 that Osbourne’s friend Zendaya, who wore dreadlocks at the Oscars, “smells like patchouli oil, or maybe weed,” the women stopped speaking. One source says that Rancic feels Osbourne, 30 — who tweeted, ‘I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM,’ and quit the show after the incident — “threw her under the bus.”
The feud reignited when Rancic appeared on the Today show April 6 and repeated her claim that a writer scripted the Zendaya remark and blamed her delivery on poor editing. The same day, Osbourne cryptically tweeted, “Liars always get caught.'”The timing of the tweet was no coincidence, says a source: “It was about Giuliana.”
Their once-close friendship — “we are like family,” Osbourne told Us in 2013 — began to unravel after Fashion Police star Joan Rivers passed away in September. Seeing a void, Rancic “tried too hard to be funny,” says an Osbourne pal. Another source agrees Rancic began to grate on her costar: “They didn’t see eye to eye on what was funny versus offensive.”
I think one of the main issues is that Fashion Police doesn’t work without Joan Rivers, and that’s what Kathy Griffin essentially said too. They need to update their format. It’s easier for Kelly to blame Giuliana though.
Meanwhile Giuliana had an interview on Access Hollywood yesterday. She confirmed that she’s moving to Chicago and also that she’s returning to Fashion Police in September. She also said that she’s hoping to land some kind of relationship advice-type reality show with Bill. Of course she is. This is the woman who admitted what a strain her own reality show put on her marriage. Maybe if Giuliana and Bill focus on other people’s problems they’ll be able to minimize their own.
