Bill Rancic Defends Giuliana Rancic Amid All Her 'Fashion Police' Controversy

Giuliana Rancic‘s husband Bill is speaking out in defense of his wife after all of her Fashion Police controversy pertaining to her Zendaya statements.

“What was hard for me was the fact that they edited the show down…the important remarks that she made leading up to the joke were cut out,” Bill said to People. “You know, she made the peace sign. She was referring to hippies and Grateful Dead. It was clearly a Grateful Dead, hippie joke.”

“You know, due to time they edited the show down. That was hard. It was hard to just sit back and know that footage was there and they were not releasing it,” Bill added. “It was not something I would have done.”

“The truth will set you free. I tried to get them to release the footage. I tried to get the editor to go on one of the morning shows…and they wouldn’t do it,” Bill concluded.
