Kathy Griffin is downplaying behind-the-scenes drama for her abrupt exit from “Fashion Police” after only seven episodes.
The comedian was performing stand-up in Connecticut and said:
“It just didn’t work out. That’s it. That’s the scandal. However, Hollywood, of course, enjoys blowing something up.”
“I’m just surprised that people are so invested in this show, but I shouldn’t be, because Joan [Rivers] was so incredible and amazing, and it just wasn’t the right thing for me.” She called the media frenzy “kind of funny.”
Griffin announced she was quitting “Fashion Police” with a Twitter post on Thursday, explaining, “My style does not fit with the creative direction of the show & now it’s time to move on.”
