Giuliana Rancic Blames 'Fashion Police' Moment on Editing

Giuliana Rancic shows off her new book while leaving The Today Show‘s studios on Monday morning (April 6) in New York City.

The 40-year-old television personality was on the show to talk about her book, as well as the controversy surrounding her show Fashion Police.

“I made a reference to the hippie culture,” Giuliana said. “I talked about patchouli oil, which is a hippie perfume. And in the editing process, some of the gestures I made, some of the things I said were taken out for time. I made peace signs, I said ‘bohemian’ twice – those were taken out for time. So when the joke aired, some people were offended by it.”

“I thought that the joke was not edited in the proper way, and that’s just something I have to live with,” she continued. “It’s very important for me to just get out there and tell the real story, and I knew I would have my moment. But those darn headlines were so crazy for so long that I thought, ‘Let everything calm down, and then I can come out and tell the real story.’”

When Giuliana was asked if she will return to the show, she said “We’ll see.”
