Only weeks after Kelly Osbourne exited the show, due to a racial dispute involving Giuliana Rancic, Kathy Griffith has made a statement explaining her decision to leave the show.
This is the statement Griffin released to the media, which the comedian also tweeted this morning.

Speculation around Griffin’s departure is that she was also offended by Rancic’s comment. She mentions intolerance in her speech, but doesn’t mention any names.
Griffin said of Rancic’s choice of humour, “I will make my Miley Cyrus jokes as long as people want to laugh at them. But there is a chasm of difference between making a joke about Miley Cyrus wearing duct tape over her nipples out in public (which I think is totally fair game) and simply looking at a photo of her on a red carpet and saying she is ugly or a bad singer or pathetic or something like that.” insinuating that Rancic’s joke did in fact go too far.
Her departure was confirmed by the media giant.
E! said in a statement to Buzzfeed, “We wish her all the best and are grateful for her time on the show, as well as the many laughs that she gave us all. Fashion Police will return, as scheduled, on Monday, March 30 at 9 p.m. with our talented co-Hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski and executive producer Melissa Rivers. No further information is available at this time.”
