If you haven't already seen Zendaya, the young teen actrees/singer/dancer, recent slay on the red carpet of the 87th Annual Academy Awards, I'll start by placing a picture below before I begin.
Zendaya's beautiful faux locs along with her overall gorgeous-ness graced the red carpet. She reminded me of a young Lisa Bonet. I thought she looked amazing, the locs were neat and she wore them really well. However, everyone did not have the same appreciation for Zendaya's red carpet hair.
On the popular E! Network show Fashion Police, Giuliana Rancic, commented on Zendaya's hair saying, "I feel like she smells like patchouli oil and weed." Now, me being a fan of Giuliana, I was in disbelief that she would actually say something like that. The comment was racist, highly offensive and stereotypical.
Kylie Jenner debuted her faux locs on Instagram weeks before Zendaya, they were described as "edgy". There's something wrong with that.
Zendaya is a wonderful young lady so she delivered a very well thought out, classy response to Giuliana Rancic and the Fashion Police crew. Shortly after, Giuliana tweeted a so-called apology to Zendaya saying she meant the comment in a "bohemian chic" way and that she's sorry Zendaya took offense to it. I think the apology was weak, honestly.
After the internet was a buzz with what happened, Giuliana delivered a public apology on E! network. Basically she explained it as the "joke" was written for her so that's why the comment was made. Whether it was written for someone or not, it should have never been said.
I'm not here for it. Team Zendaya! She handled this situation very well and is walking away with her gorgeous locs and all.
What do you think about the comment?
