Or weed. (c) Kelli Osbourne

Maybe weed (c) Giuliana Rancic

lol @ these bitches. **cues I Am Not My Hair**

http://www.complex.com/style/2015/02/zendaya-responds

During E!'s Fashion Police Oscars special Monday night, co-host Giuliana Rancic made a wildly offensive comment about actress Zendaya Coleman’s hair. Apparently, Giuliana thought the 18-year-old’s decision to rock locs on the red carpet made her look like she smelled of patchouli oil and weed. No, really. She actually said that.

Of course, it wasn't long before people took to social media to call out the ignorant commentary. Even Zendaya, who says she typical ignores negative remarks, thought Giuliana’s words so distasteful that she felt obligated to post a letter defending her locs and pointing out the blatant racism within the co-host’s “joke.”

Take a look below to see the clip of Giuliana making those remarks, as well as the justifiably pissed-off Twitter responses. You can also read the letter Zendaya posted Monday evening, in which she drops some much-needed education on Giuliana.

Feb 24th 2015
33
                     would it be better that they said nothing at all?
Feb 24th 2015
36
                          the Kylie thing is of no moment
Feb 24th 2015

                                                                                           I swear, it's HILARIOUS how conversations trickle down to one letter.
Feb 26th 2015

I think it's racist to associate patchouli oil & weed with black folks
Feb 24th 2015
26
i'm mad this had to be said
Feb 24th 2015
29
Yup. We never had a monopoly on it, despite our neo-soul moments
Feb 24th 2015
30
aint had that to say about Kylie Jenner
Feb 24th 2015
31
is stereotyping racism?
Feb 24th 2015
32
only if Blacks are stereotyped to smell like patchouli and weed.
Feb 24th 2015
34
      word.
Feb 24th 2015
63
It's a silly E! show.
Feb 24th 2015
35
about as seriously as sport commentators
Feb 24th 2015
37
      no, it doesn't.
Feb 24th 2015
39
      yes there is
Feb 24th 2015
41
           no.
Feb 24th 2015
43
                k
Feb 24th 2015
45
                     exactly.
Feb 24th 2015
46
      Have you smelled patchouli before?
Feb 24th 2015
76
           lets try for common sense then
Feb 24th 2015
93
                You have a point too. She looks very put together/proper/stylish.
Feb 24th 2015
108
                nope insulting hippies was her goal
Feb 24th 2015
117
                All I see are t... wait... nvrmnd.
Feb 24th 2015
118
SoWhat is wrong, mostly eveyone else is right
Feb 24th 2015
47
white ppl also know that patchouli + weed = dirty hippie.
Feb 24th 2015
50
RE: hmmm
Feb 24th 2015
52
in the white gaze? not really.
Feb 24th 2015
56
You have a point, patchouli = white hippy with locks.
Feb 24th 2015
53
      agreed. maybe not 'dirty'.
Feb 24th 2015
74
      hippies are almost always associated with being dirty
Feb 24th 2015
120
i would given benefit of the doubt
Feb 24th 2015
54
it's like:
Feb 24th 2015
58
      LMFAO
Feb 24th 2015
60
      lol
Feb 24th 2015
62
      AHA! PATCHOULI
Feb 24th 2015
65
      yep, it was well used racism camo
Feb 24th 2015
66
           yes...much like guiliani
Feb 24th 2015
69
                haha, yeah those 2 are exactly the same thing.
Feb 24th 2015
70
                     yes... of course... Zendaya is half white too!
Feb 24th 2015
91
      Not for nothing, I burn the heck out of these:
Feb 24th 2015
82
           yup
Feb 24th 2015
84
      Girl in the background though?
Feb 24th 2015
113
as a member of the "they" group, pachouli and weed is definitely
Feb 24th 2015
68
      yeah, I think SoWhat won me over with his two replies above
Feb 24th 2015
72
      i say the locs were badly done b/c of the visible plats on her scalp.
Feb 24th 2015
73
      except she didn't say "and" she said "or"
Feb 24th 2015
88
           both are associated with hippies.
Feb 24th 2015
89
                it's not clear to the person it was aimed at
Feb 24th 2015
104
                     Her hair is okay. There was no race problem with the comment.
Feb 24th 2015
109
                          disagree - she's a (bi)racialized pop figure
Feb 24th 2015
112
                               that's great.
Feb 24th 2015
116
                                    I feel you
Feb 25th 2015
158
                                         right?
Feb 25th 2015

Speaking of patchouli oil, verdict on the smell/effect?
Feb 24th 2015
71
I hate the smell of patchouli
Feb 24th 2015
77
People wear it because they fear toxic contaminants in deodrant
Feb 24th 2015
78
One jawn smelled like bubblegum when she wore it
Feb 24th 2015
103
so you liked it?
Feb 24th 2015
130
How about a verdict on vetiver?
Feb 24th 2015

81

Feb 25th 2015
143
                you're not familiar w/weed, i take it.
Feb 25th 2015
159

Feb 25th 2015
161
                          so you're okay with white women critiquing black hair
Feb 25th 2015
165
                               I gotta believe y'all playing dumb.
Feb 25th 2015

She Apologized [VIDEO]
Feb 25th 2015
153

Feb 25th 2015
154
Twitter got people apologizing everyday. It's unnecessary.
Feb 25th 2015
155
i agree but sometimes it's better to just apologize
Feb 25th 2015
156
I don't thnk she even understood what she was apologizing for
Feb 25th 2015
157
      i agree.
Feb 25th 2015
160
ugh apologies make it worse
Feb 26th 2015
170
as apologies go...this was one of the better ones I've seen
Feb 26th 2015
