Giuliana Rancic apologizes on air about weed comment + people want her fired

This whole Giuiliana/Zendaya weed issue is really annoying me. The TV presenter has now been made to apologize on air for saying Zendaya's dreadlocks 'smell of patchouili or 'weed'. Not only that, some celebs who have weighed in on the issue are insulting her, one even mentioned her barrenness.

Whoopi Goldberg said on The View: 'She's not Joan Rivers. Unless you know how to make jokes, don't do it... I've met real racists so I'm very hesitant to call people who put their foot in their mouth racist. She was just ignorant... a bonehead. I have had dreads for 40 years, and never have I smelled like patchouli.'

Comedienne Sheryl Underwood said on The Talk, "How would Giuliana feel if we made comments on her inability to have a baby?'. 

I feel like people are just making such a big deal out of this. Is it only black people that wear dreads and smoke weed? How is what Giuilian said racist? It was more silly to me than racist. And now people are calling for her to be sacked from E!. Read that and her apology after the cut...

Radar Online claims an insider told them people want Giuliana gone from Fashion Police and E!
"The entire cast of Fashion Police is done with Giuliana and they are hoping that she will be not only kicked off the show, but also off of the network.”
"And seeing that she's had a bit of an alleged feud with new E! News correspondent Maria Menunos, this new blip is ruffling even more feathers." The source added:
“The network does not condone racism in any way, shape or form and they know that their reputation is now at stake,” the source adds.

Giuliana's apology below...
'I'd really like to address something that's weighing really heavy on my heart. I want to apologize for a comment that I made on last night's Fashion Police about Zendaya's hair.'
'As you know, Fashion Police is a show that pokes fun at celebrities in good spirit, but I do realize that something I said last night did cross the line.'
'I just want everyone to know that I didn't intend to hurt anybody, but I learned it's not my intent that matters. It's the result. And the result is people are offended, including Zendaya. And that is not okay.' 
The apology video below..

Gbenga said...

Unforgiving spirit is the new demon in town! People hardly forgive anymore, even after an apology has been made. Forgiveness is now seen as a sign of weakness. She made a bad mistake and I fear she'll eventually have to leave the E Network forcefully or resign. Reminds me of Jim Clancy of CNN who had a less controversial but similar experience.

Apology accepted, it can happen to anybody.

Linda they way you commented on this issue and even the one about kelly osbourne is wrong and shows lack of judgement
You're indirectly influencing readers to think and react they way you feel
And the way you're taking this whole issue is like deep down you don't see anything wrong in what Guliana said.

I dont knw why ppl like making a big deal outta noyhn. If I had to guess, it would be joblessness. If the hair smelled like patchouli or weed, then it smelled like fucking patchouli or weed. Why should Giuliana lose her job. Its fashion police, nobodys lost their job for saying someone has sagging boobs or bow legs. So please.

Getting her fired will be really unfair and Sheryl Underwood making a comment about her fertility is so outta line, u can say something about her body but not a sensitive issue regarding her fertility pls.
Linda, pls dnt use the word "barren", God is still on the throne.

Linda, your connection to blacks in America begins and ends with showing their worst for mockery and traffic on your blog. You don't feel their pain. If you don't understand, sit back and listen. The outrage isn't manufactured but real. When ignoramuses insult Nigerians, you mobilize all of Nigeria into action on social media. Yet you give this issue short shrift because it doesn't matter to you.

Anonymous said...

I totally agree with you Linda on this one. People be acting like this is the first time they know the show is just for making fun and nothing serious. And Kelly Osbourne even disappointed me about this issue, she was laughing about it when Giuliana made the comment (I watched the video on Daily Mail) and she is now going to go off later to rant on twitter about Zendaya being her friend so its cool if they talk about someone else who is not your friend. Don't you know Giuliana personally or what?
In short, those Americans are sneaky and like to take advantage of you when you say something wrong. How I wish Joan Rivers was alive, she doesn't care.. she even said President Obama was gay and his wife Michelle a tranny.

Anonymous said...

It is indeed offensive and a racist comment Linda,weed they believe is black 'people thing' in fact they believe every black person smokes weed, in search for weed the police only visits places only black people lives..and to say such a thing on live TV that's being watched by almost the world shows how she actually feels about black people condemning her hair cos is also for black people!! If she had done a white person hair style I'msure there wouldn't even be this problem

Linda I really don't know why you think this is not a big deal. What she said was completely ignorant def not racist, not that I give 2 fucks. But for you to think it's not a big deal is where I've got a problem. Yes she's human, but her ass is being paid a lot not to make ignorant ass comments on live TV. What she said was hurtful to everyone thats got dreads so she should be getting all the heat she's receiving. After all she's a celeb...

Linda that comment was so uncalled-for ok. Zendaya's dreads looked amazing on her. If her dreads looked dirty/unkept and Giuiliana makes that comment then I'd understand. Giuiliana simply insinuated that people who wear dreads usually smell of weed, and it's not fair especially when majority of people that wear dreads are blacks. That's stereotyping. "Our thoughts become our words." Giuiliana probably had such thought which was why it became so easy for her to make a comment like that. She just needs to relax and learn her lessons.

linda i know you won't see anything wrong with it because you are not a true jornalist and you constantly use your blog to bash people and make mean and unacceptable comments!! julliana was extreamly out of line.left to me that fashion police should be cancelled because they are a bunch of bullys.what shocks me the most is all the hosts look like they have been victims (worwor pikins) of bulling so why grow up and decide to do that to other people. back to julliana, she made a comment about the poor girl because she had dreads on!!not because she looked bad but because of her HAIR!! her AFRICAN HAIR!!we all know white people aren't born with dreds!! she associated our hair with something dirty and wrong!! its a racial stereotype saying black people look like they are dirty or get high all the time!!! she's no different from zimmerman that police man that shot the harmless black boy trayvon because he was black!!!so therefore he was harmful!!! julliana needs to be used as an example>PERIOD

I'm now even pitying the poor woman. She too, forming high and mighty.



I believe PDP can do something like this.

They should slander Buhari for all I care, he has my own vote. Nigerians like the way the country is, to be able to get away with indiscipline and corruption and all the thieves know that they can get away with lotsa things that's why they're doing all they can to poison the minds of the people. They're saying he imprisoned innocent people, will he just go and pick out any individual and jail them? They must have done something wrong and its because he is a disciplined man who believes people should be punished for crimes, he jailed them. I don't think I can just be doing my own thing jejely and he'll imprison me, or possibly someone must have said something that was a lie against me. Abeg jor, we are all entitled to our opinion. This is Nigeria and not America where any Lil info will change the minds of the people. We have all made up our minds knowing that NO ONE is perfect.

Next time be careful how you run your mouth. Joan rivers would have probably said that and people may laugh it off or she just may not have said it at all...you ain't Joan Rivers...so stop trying to fill in that space...There is a fine line between trying to be funny and being outright disrespectful.
Linda take a look around...98% of the people in the world who carry dreads/locs...are either black or half black or have a black background. You ever seen Paris Hilton with dreads/locs?
She really did cross the line on this and hell Yea that comment of hers...was so freaking racist.

Anonymous said...

Even though i don't want her fired. She crossed the line.Thats why when pulling a joke make sure you are a comedian or its with your friends or people who understand you. What she said was racist but that was not her intention, like Whoopi said "ignorant". I hope the forgive her.

abeg they should free her jor. she is one person i respect alot cos her story n how she handled all the challenges in her life shows she's a strong person.

#myopinioncounts# said...

This issue is being blown out of proportion. I doubt she would intentionally make a racist comment even if she is a racist. She was just trying to give her opinion on what she thought about Zendaya's locks.

Linda, your statements proves you are quite ignorant and clueless . You know nothing about the black movement and how bad it is to stereotype people based on their looks. It was the same stereotype that led to the killing of Trayvon Martin by Zimmerman. People react for reasons, please try to find out the indepth analysis to issues before making uninformed statements.

Apology accepted.

Chikaka said...

Linda, I've said this many times, you are ignorant. Remember comments like these in the Western world weigh heavily. It is not like in Nigeria that you can abuse with impunity and get away with it. Giuliana stereotyped and stereotyping is akin to racism. Do some research please. Now, they are saying she has a history of being racist but it never gets out. Shut it if you don't know what lies behind the scenes.

Linda, can you please just write the gist and stop giving your opinion on every post? It's now even becoming hard to tell where the story ends and where your unwanted opinions start. Please save your views to yourself and allow your readers make their opinion without having to read yours first. I don't come to your blog to write your opinions. Just the stories. So leave your opinions out please.

Zendaya is just a kid shes 18 mrs Rancic shouldn't have said that about her... Zendaya is no JB or miley shes a really good kid.

Unknown said...

Pls forgive her already

Ify baby said...

I think you need to be living in the country where it happened to really understand what's going on. She apologized, yes, but more importantly she and people that think such...yes...RACIST thoughts, should be careful what they actually let out of their mouth. Let's be real and NOT NAIVE, even though other races wear dread locks, it is essentially an AFRICAN thing.

Unknown said...

Have always loved Giuliana, and this won't reduce my love for her. Apology accepted

Damochedxb said...

They been hating her from day one and she set herself up to be finally crucified and buried. I think she's not just a likeable person. Bad for her!!!

Chiichii said...

It is racist albeit not intentionally so.
There are some things whites just are not allowed to say. It might not seem fair to restrict whites like that, but it is how it is. She was out of line.

These guys are taking the issue to far, if she leaves fashion police, then I see no reason to watch d show

Makky said...

For crying out loud,what's the big deal!Pple make mistakes nd she z no diff.,get over it#notafan

I think everyone has finally had it with this programme "fashion police" she is only the scapegoat led to take the fall. The mention of her inability to have a child is a step too far. It is infact unfair to say the least to put her poking fun on somebody's appearance(which they can btw change) and her inability to create a child(which she can't change) in one category. The world has gone too politically correct. She was wrong and ignorant to address an 18 year old in that manner but that dosnt make the people coming after her less vile.

linda ikeji shut the bleep up let someone make joke of ur k leg on international tv and see how it feels to be humiliated, guiliana is not joan rivers or a commedienne n therefore shld not throw sensitive jokes at people.u r not living in america to understand how sensitive comments are, if its not taken this serious believe me every black person's hair whether with dreaeds or not will be bullied or made fun of since someone on tv many look up to did it, it will start trending, so shut up n let guiliana roll. imagine if she is told she looks like a skeleton cos she is on drugs, it will tear her to sherds

You have to first look at yourself before you open your mouth to insult others.

Unknown said...

Apology accepted...Zendaya biko forgive her...she did cross the line....but if it was d late Joan River that poked her it won't raise much dust...I love guiliana....

Sonipinky said...

Make dem free d lady jare...if it wz Joan Rivers,they would laugh at dat.

Anonymous said...

The political climate of America right now does not allow for such comments. While you surrounded by Africans and you can crack jokes about yourselves comfortably, think about your brothers and sisters in the diaspora who are constantly being insulted just because of the colour of their skin and might I add surrounded by White people.

Unknown said...

She didn't not struggle 2 apologies,plssss,whatever. Happens 2 2nd chance

lami said...

I am sure she has learnt her lesson, I do feel sorry for her. I am sure she meant the thing to be a joke and then trust human beings to take the whole thing out of context.

Linda you sure need to enlighten yourself and read more on racial discrimination before you try to have an opinion on issues you know next to nothing about.

CHYNELL said...

Hmmm.am so sorry for her.y ar they being so hard on her?

mary nwa mama said...

this matter i think is being over flogged. Giuliana has sincerely apologized and i feel her apology should be accepted, why would anyone want her to be sacked because of this. people should not even make mockery of her inability to have a child. that would be so inhumane, it could happen to anyone, it was no fault of her. After all she has a baby through surrogacy which also was formed from her eggs. only difference is that she didn't carry the pregnancy physically. this matter should die already

Anonymous said...

Linda you are very biased because you like Guiliana. We get it, you like her. Don't shove the wrong thing down our throats. For some time she has changed and wasn't the same sweet person we all loved from day one. I guess this is just the outlet for people to vent out what they've been carrying for sometime.

Eyaaaaa. See how they're dragging Julianna anyhow.

Some people including Zendaya are just milking this. Fine, Giuliana made a rude comment but for Christ's sake it had nothing to do with black people. This is just between her and the person she spoke of.

Linda pls note! Nigeria AOP mocked eniola and said "tagged eniola and die of hiv within 24hrs" and sadly no one is calling for his sack!. They should pls accept her apology.Nigerians must start holding people accountable.

Its no big deal. Just think she said the weed thing because of rastafarians. People should get over it. They yap white people on fashion police all the time

Unknown said...

These people have been looking for a way to get her off the show. There is nothing wrong with wat she said. They are just being stupid.

Nusitech said...

It is a big deal. She is a public figure with huge exposure and a platform to match. She has to be more sensitive.
Blacks in America have been historically oppressed ridiculed, and talk down to. For her to make a stereotypical statement or a joke like that, deserves to loose her job.
BTW You have to live it, and experience it to know how painful the shit really is.

Linda I don't want to hate you cos of this ur bias. I've lived in America all my life. And only a black living amongst whites would understand how white ppl see our hair. Stop licking the white man's ass. You've never gone through what we go through here. You are the reason black ppl ain't united. Keep your silly slave mentality to yourself
