Kelly Osbourne defended herself on Twitter after the controversial Fashion Police Oscars episode.
Kelly Osbourne wants the record set straight, or she walks! The outspoken Brit, 30, took to Twitter on Tuesday, Feb. 24, to clarify her role in the Fashion Police’s Oscars episode. The E! group’s critique of singer Zendaya has been widely viewed as racially insensitive with co-host Giuliana Rancic criticizing her thick dreadlocks, saying, “I feel like she smells like pachouli oil.”
Though many claimed Osbourne was behind that comment, she tweeted about the incident soon after the episode aired.
Zendaya attends the 87th Annual Academy Awards.
“I WILL NOT BE DRAGED INTO THIS! The situation is being rectified like ADULTS by both parties. I hope you can leave it to them & do the same!” she wrote. “you guys do realize that @Zendaya is my friend right?”
Belles of the ball! Plenty of stars shined in custom-made gowns at the 2015 Academy Awards, but celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Lupita Nyong'o and Emma Stone really won the red carpet. Take a look back at the best-dressed stars.
As Rancic made headlines for her comments and subsequent apology, Osbourne once again tweeted, this time seemingly threatening to leave the show.

Following the comments made on the show, Zendaya took to social media to defend herself in a lengthy note.
“To say that an 18 year old young woman with locs must smell of patchouli oil or ‘weed’ is not only a large stereotype but outrageously offensive,” she wrote before listing a series of impressive stars who rocked similar looks.
Dear @Zendaya, I’m sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!
Soon after, Rancic tweeted a public apology, writing, “Dear @Zendaya, I’m sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!”
A source tells Us Weekly, “Kelly is really upset about this. She really is friends with Zendaya. They both were Material Girl spokesmodels. She already has reached out to her to make sure she was clear that she had nothing to do with it. She doesn’t condone Giuliana’s dumb comment.”
