Earlier this week eyebrows were raised when Kathy Griffin announced she was leaving the cast of Fashion Police after only 7 episodes.
Now, TMZ is reporting that Griffin's exit was to save face before she could be fired:
We're told there was a pitch meeting for the show several days ago in which someone in the room pitched an idea called "Whore Score." We're told the idea was rejected because it was too mean.
Kathy ranted about the segment idea saying, "Name calling and alliteration with no comedic context is simply the lowest hanging fruit." She then made "Fashion Police" sound old school and tired.
Our sources say Kathy's comments infuriated the production staff. They felt she violated confidences and took a shot at her own show. They also said she was a hypocrite because they claim her shtick is exactly what she described.
Our sources say hours before Kathy tweeted her resignation, producers had a meeting and talked about giving her the ax.
