'Fashion Police' Khloe Kardashian Addition Not Happening - Kathy Griffin Thinks Joan Rivers Would Hate 'KUWTK' Star Joining Show
Following the exit of Kelly Osbourne from Fashion Police, it seemed that Khloe Kardashian was in the running to replace the lavender-haired star on the panel, however today, it looks like some people behind the show are putting their feet down in regards to the casting rumors. It seems that new host Kathy Griffin, doesn't feel that Joan Rivers would have approved of the Kardashian sitting on the panel of her show.
According to Radar Online, there are a few reasons why Khloe's name has been tossed out of the running, one of which being the stars of the show won't be able to openly hate on the family with one of their own sitting on the round table.
"Kathy and Melissa [Rivers] are mortified by the thought of Khloe being on Fashion Police," an insider told the news site. "One of their biggest concerns, really, is that they will not be able to bash the Kardashian clan with her sitting right there."
Not only that, but Kathy and Melissa also think that Joan wouldn't have wanted to see Kardashian anywhere near the empire that she built.
"Melissa and Kathy know that Khloe would bring in the ratings," the insider explained, "but Joan would turn in her grave if Khloe got the position."
However, the site is reporting that neither Kathy nor Melissa will have the final say in who the job goes to.
According to The Source, it seems that NeNe Leakes is also in the running for the position. Other rumors floating around have been that Hills beauty Kristin Cavallari could also possibly be taking over the open seat.
