8. Zendaya vs Giuliana Rancic
After Zendaya showed up with dreadlocks on the red carpet at the Academy Awards, Guiliana Rancic, host of the television show Fashion Police, said “the hair to me on her is making her a little more boho. Like I feel like she smells like patchouli oil. Or weed.”
Zendaya was extremely insulted by the comment and went straight to Instagram with her response. “There is already harsh criticism of African American hair in society without the help of ignorant people who choose to judge others based on the curld of their hair…to me, locs are a symbol of strength and beauty, almost like a lion’s mane.”
Zendaya, who was the clear winner of this battle, got Giuliana Rancic to publicly apologize for her statement. Since the incident, Fashion Police has not been doing as well, and we are sure that this situation had something to do with it.
