‘Fashion Police’ New Cast Members Better Than The Former Ones? Melissa Rivers Release Statement!
The new "Fashion Police" cast members are supposedly better than the former hosts, Melissa Rivers said in an interview.
According to a report from E! Online, the daughter of late comedienne and "Fashion Police" mainstay Joan Rivers said there is "a great chemistry" among the show's current panelists: Giuliana Rancic, Brad Goreski and new co-hosts NeNe Leakes and Margaret Cho.
"We always have fun," Melissa Rivers shared to E! News' Will Marfuggi during an exclusive interview. a
"This is a group that we're very comfortable wih each other rhythms. It's like music it all plays together well."
The show's 47-year-old executive producer specifically complimented new "Fashion Police" cast member NeNe Leakes.
"Nene's outrageous," she said. "NeNe is just a character and speaks her mind and brings tremendous energy."
Aside from the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star, Margaret Cho has also reportedly been helping the show gain footing again. An insider told Radar Online that the comedienne recently signed a contract with E! Network to be a permanent "Fashion Police" cast member.
"The episodes that Margaret appeared on so far had much higher ratings than the ones without her," the insider explained.
Melissa Rivers also previously told People that she finds the new "Fashion Police" cast more creative.
"I think we really started to find our footing those last few episodes that I hosted," she said.
"So now that we have our feet underneath us, I think we can start to explore creatively a little bit more."
Prior to NeNe Leakes and Joan Rivers joining the show, "Fashion Police" initially struggled to have a steady run following the untimely death of Joan Rivers in 2014.
E! then tapped comedienne Kathy Griffin to fill the comedy icon's vacated slot. However, Joan Rivers' supposed protégé ended up quitting "Fashion Police" after less than 10 episodes.
New York Daily News reported about how the negative statements made by Kathy Griffin after leaving "Fashion Police" offended Melissa Rivers.
"My biggest complaint was the feeling that she kind of s--- all over my mother's legacy in her statement on leaving," she said about Kathy Griffin.
