I guess since the ship is sinking everyone is trying to jump off while they still can. After only seven episodes, Kathy Griffin has decided to leave E! Fashion Police and gave a full statement via Twitter on Thursday.

The comedienne started off the extensive statement by introducing herself and listing her credits then stated, “When I chose to step into the shoes of my beloved friend Joan Rivers at ‘Fashion Police,’ I was thrilled to continue her legacy as a woman being brash and eccentric on television. I am a freedom-loving female and gay rights activist who loves to find the funny in all people, attitudes, beliefs, and appearances, but only when appropriate.”

She ended her statement by wishing the company well, thanking her fans, and advertising her show at The Kennedy Center in June. [SEE BELOW]

E! released their own statement stating, “We can confirm that Kathy Griffin is leaving E!’s ‘Fashion Police.’ We wish her all the best and are grateful for her time on the show, as well as the many laughs that she gave us all. ‘Fashion Police’ will return, as scheduled, on Monday, March 30 at 9pm with our talented Co-Hosts Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski and Executive Producer Melissa Rivers. No further information is available at this time.”

Griffin’s departure follows Kelly Osbourne‘s announcement on leaving the show two weeks ago. All of the changes in Fashion Police started when Giuliana Rancic made insensitive comments about singer/actress Zendaya‘s hair at the 2015 Academy Awards red carpet during an episode of Fashion Police back in February.

Are you surprised to see Kathy Griffin leave Fashion Police? With only Giuliana Rancic and Brad Goreski left, can the show survive? Let me know what you think in the comments below.
