E! May Cancel 'Fashion Police', Was Going to Fire Kathy Griffin Before Her Resignation

Following announcement that Kathy Griffin quit
 " Fashion Police ", there are many stories about
what led to her abrupt decision. While Kathy said
she left the show because it's too mean-spirited, sources say
there had been some issue behind the scenes that prompted the
show's producers to consider giving her the ax before she
tweeted her resignation.
Sources tell Extra that Kathy was feuding with new
co- host Brad Goreski because she felt he upstaged her
 with his own jokes and she wanted executives to tell him
to stop being funny. But the show's execs disagreed with
Kathy and supported Goreski.
The show's execs once again disagreed with the comedienne
when she suggested that they named 11- year-old actress
Quvenzhane Wallis as the "worst dressed" star during the Golden Globes coverage, but E! nixed it. The sources say hours before Kathy announced
her exit, E! execs held discussions about terminating her.
Other sources tell TMZ that the tension behind the
scenes had been brewing for weeks and Kathy had
several times threatened to quit the show. She
reportedly once rejected a pitched segment called
"Whore Score", arguing that "name calling and
alliteration with no comedic context is simply the lowest
hanging fruit." The show's staff felt like Kathy was
being a hypocrite and took a shot at her own show.
Meanwhile, Confidenti@l learns that E! execs are now
considering to cancel the show following Kathy's
departure "in a bid to save their celebrity relationships."
A source says, "They have off this month, but don't be
surprised if they cancel it quietly in a matter of weeks,
when the craziness dies down a little. Melissa [Rivers]
is a producer, not a leader; she can't get control of the
situation."
The network's honchos allegedly label the show a
"hassle" as celebrities are now trashing the broadcast,
which was deemed edgy back in Joan Rivers ' days. The
source adds that Giuliana Rancic will be pleased with
the cancellation because she has had enough with the
controversy surrounding her racist joke about Zendaya
Coleman's Oscars deadlocks. " 'Fashion Police' is an
albatross around her neck," so the source claims.
"She's like, let the thing die already."
E! has not responded to the cancellation rumor. The
network previously said the show would "return as
scheduled on Monday, March 30, at 9 P.M."
Kathy's departure came on the heels of Kelly
Osbourne's exit because of Giuliana's racist comments
about her friend Zendaya.- aceshowbiz.com
