Over a month after Giuliana Rancic made comments about Zendaya Coleman's hair, the E! News co-host already confirmed to Access Hollywood Live that she will be returning to "Fashion Police' this fall.
Co-hosts Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin already exited the show after Rancic made the remarks about Zendaya's dreadlocks during the show's post-Oscars recap. Howevery, Rancic stated to Billy Bush and Kit Hoover that the "racist-remark' controversy is further boosting the show's popularity.
"I think more than ever, [Fashion Police] is definitely coming back, because [the controversy] shows that a lot of people were watching the show and enjoyed the show", Rancic explained.
The TV host also confirmed that "Fashion Police' will make a comeback on September just in time for the Emmy Awards. Brad Goreski will remain on the show while two more vacancies are yet to be filled.
Rancic is reportedly moving to Chicago for good in August and may have a new TV project being developed with husband Bill. She opened up about the possible theme of the show, sharing that she and Bill and have a "great marriage" and that they are planning to offer relationship advice and help couples in creating solutions to their issues.
"We're thinking maybe something in the relationship space to help people"”not just bring them on to fight and get ratings"”but actually bring them on to talk about their problems and get them a real solution to their problems," she said.
Aside from future projects, Rancic also opened about receiving death threats; even Bill and their toddler son Duke received such online threats as well. Although she has made apologies to Zendaya, she continually received intimidating messages from people who Rancic believes to have misunderstood the issue.
"They had read a statement, they kind of cerated whatever they wanted to create in their head, and just went after us- went after me and my family," she said.
In particular, she and her family received threats that had Duke's name in tweets, saying that they will kill the Rancic family while posting photos of guns and gangs.
The TV personality first sparked up the controversy when she said on air that Zendaya's hair looked as though it smelled of "patchouli oil or weed"; Osbourne later made threats to quit "Fashion Police' after several more issues ensued.
