Kathy Griffin quits Fashion Police because she's a feminist.

Kathy Griffin has resigned from Fashion Police after only seven episodes.

The 54-year-old comedienne explained her decision to leave the show on Monday’s episode of The View, observing that Fashion Police’s formula “just didn’t fit my thing.”

The announcement comes just weeks after Fashion Police co-host Kelly Osbourne announced she was leaving the show.

Someone is leaving Fashion Police.

Kathy expressed discomfort with the ‘dog pile’ aspect of the show, where harsh criticism of celebrity fashion – and bodies – is the norm.

Kathy spoke out about her discomfort with Fashion Police’s approach to comedy on Monday’s The View.

“I was being forced to comment about pictures of beautiful women in perfect dresses and say kind of bad things.

“As a feminist and a comic, it just didn’t feel like the right fit for me,’ the 54-year-old comedienne told the hosts of The View.

Although Kathy has never shied away from biting jokes about celebrities before, the My Life On The D-List star says it was Fashion Police’s constant focus on celebrity bodies that rubbed her the wrong way.

Fashion Police’s ‘dog-pile’ approach didn’t fit Kathy’s style.

“I go for behaviour as stuff to play with,” she explained.

“But like, I wouldn’t hold up a picture of Kim Kardashian and say ‘She’s ugly, goodnight.’ I wouldn’t hold up a picture of Oprah and say, ‘She’s fat, goodnight.’”

“In my repertoire, I’ve said heinous things – I’m well aware of that, trust me!

“There’s a lot of stuff I’ve said before that I wouldn’t say now… Comedy has to evolve.’

MIA: Yes, it’s possible to discuss celebrity fashion without being a bitch.

Kudos to Kathy for sticking to her guns on this one. We’re sure she can find a more worthy pursuit than perpetuating body insecurities by criticising beautiful women in beautiful clothes.

 Even if it is just making fun of Justin Bieber for his life decisions.

Do you agree with Kathy’s decision to leave Fashion Police?

Win, win, win. And get out of here…
