E!'s Giuliana Rancic Apologizes for Culturally Insensitive Hair Comment
Part of living in a diverse world is knowing when your words "cross the line."
E! correspondent and Fashion Police host Giuliana Rancic issued an on-air apology for a comment she made about the faux locs that 18-year-old actress Zendaya wore to the Oscars.
During the Fashion Police episode in which the hosts — the other ones are Kathy Griffin, Kelly Osbourne and Brad Goreski — reviewed this year’s Oscar fashions, Rancic commented that it looked like Zendaya smelled like “patchouli oil” and “weed.” Here’s a clip of the comment.
The response from the audience was swift, prompting, first, a Twitter apology from Rancic.
Dear @Zendaya,
WORK SMARTER - LEARN, GROW AND BE INSPIRED.
