While discussing Zendaya's famous dreadlocks, Rancic speculated that the 18-year-old "smells like patchouli oil...or maybe weed."
Yesterday, Rancic apologized on camera after Zendaya and an army of her fans took to Twitter to complain about the comment.
The public admission of guilt may have come too late, however, as it's being reported that many at the network believe Rancic should be fired, including her Fashion Police co-stars.
"The entire cast of Fashion Police is done with Giuliana, and they are hoping that she will not only be kicked off the show, but also off of the network," one E! insider tells Radar Online.
"The network does not condone racism in any way, shape or form, and they know that their reputation is now at stake.
"The staff of E! is comprised of many different races, and everyone is pissed off. Giuliana cannot take her words back, regardless of what she tweets, or how many times she says she's sorry."
Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne has tweeted that she's "questioning staying on the show" and is giving everyone involved 24 hours to "make it right"...though it's unclear what that means in this situation.
It seems to us that the best way to prevent something like this from happening again would be for E! to stop airing programs that are centered entirely around harshly criticizing the appearances of celebrities, but that's a discussion for another time.
