Following Giuliana Rancic's recent announcement she will be returning to Fashion Police after its brief hiatus, Zendaya Coleman has voiced her thoughts.

"I just hope they learn and grow from it and are able to make a positive change with their show," the 18-year-old former Dancing with the Stars contestant told Us Weekly of Fashion Police's comeback after both Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin quit the show.
"Hopefully [they're] able to take a more positive spin and we're all able to learn from it at the same time."
Rancic had made an offensive remark about Coleman's dreadlocks at this year's Oscars and Coleman took to social media afterwards to post a long rant about her disapproval and disappointment.
Rancic said Coleman's hair must have smelled of "patchouli oil or maybe weed" -- a comment which Rancic has repeatedly apologized for and insists was edited out of context on Fashion Police.

Still, Osbourne felt the need to tweet "I DO NOT CONDONE RACISM" in light of the controversy and then leave Fashion Police. Griffin, a comedian who was hired to replace the late Joan Rivers, also ended up quitting the show because its creative direction and mean-spirited type of humor made her uncomfortable.
Since Rivers passed away in September of last year, the stars of Fashion Police have clearly struggled with joke delivery. A friend of Osbourne's recently told Us that Rancic "tried too hard to be funny" and the pair of women "didn't see eye to eye" on what was "funny versus offensive."
Fashion Police is slated to return on E! this fall. It has yet to be disclosed who will fill Osbourne and Griffin's shoes.
