Ex-Fashion Police writers have revealed that many industry insiders believed the demise of the popular E! series was inevitable after the death of the show's former host Joan Rivers, because its current stars can't unapologetically get away with the comedian's no holds barred brand of humor.
While many blame the show's recent hiatus - and the abrupt departures of Kathy Griffin and Kelly Osbourne - on the scandal that erupted after Giuliana Rancic joked that Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks at the Oscars made her look like she smelled of 'patchouli oil' and 'weed', others say Fashion Police was always destined to fail without the legendary comedian.
'Joan isn't there to make it all work,' Todd Masterson, a former Fashion Police writer told Cosmopolitan.com during a phone conversation. 'She had decades of saying the most offensive things under her belt. Now the pressure was on everyone else to make provocative jokes.'
