Zendaya - Pretentious Cunt Extraordinaire

she looked like a douche with those smelly braids, and what Rancic said was not racist, it was a joke.

And many thanks to Zendaya's publicist for writing such a beautifully worded statement.

Wow.

Whatever happened to just saying "Thank you for apologizing"

actually it was kathy griffin who said she looks like she smells like weed. giuliana said she smells like patchouli oil (I don't even know what that is??)

This is about the time that Joan would have stuck a finger down her throat and made that retching noise.

Nice try, OP, but Zendaya Coleman handled a difficult situation with a poise beyond her years.

What you have failed to realize is that the aspersions cast by that Ghouliana goomba and her ilk were trading on the same old tired tropes of euro-centric "beauty."

They picked the wrong target, as Zendaya looks to have a promising career with Disney.

The irony that the criticism came from a 40 year old woman who is literally starving herself to death on television--in order to conform to some unattainable standard--is rich indeed.

Zendaya should be kissing Guiliana Rancic's bony ass. No one even knew who she was before Monday. Seriously, no one.

I'm sure she has thousands of new followers on Instagram and Twitter because of this.

So, just shut up, Zenga.

The only cunt is that hideous Ghoulianarexic. Disgusting bobble-headed Antz come to life. Nasty.

R3 wins.

Team Zendaya here, but some DL prisspots can't imagine a world where everyone doesn't look and act just like them.

In other words, just like their mothers circa 1960.

A white person with dreads would smell the same!

No one knew who she was? lol

She has several count them queen several youtube songs that have over 20 MILLION hits. One has over 85 million.

You are the cunt in this situation.

An invisible sissy cunt at that.

Why does everyone think you should thank the racist, the homophobe or Kanye West whenever they say and do douchey things?

I'm giving those people no credit whatsoever if someone succeed despite their shenanigans. It's not like she called up Rancic and said please say that I probably smell like weed and pachooey

And by "no one," you mean yourself, r7, so yeah, you have a point.

R12, you are obviously a homophobic female who somehow stumbled here from a Zendaya fansite.

What woman calls a man "cunt" by the way? Go back to Lipstick Alley and/or Jezebel, little girl.

Lots of Zendaya fangurls in this thread.

This girl is a loser and the world is devoid of humor...

[quote]it’s our job to spot these issues within others

No it's fucking not.

that sterile old dried up bitch Giuliana can't have a baby so she chooses to fuck with other people's children....

#1 - not a fan of Zendaya (don't dislike her either) but even I knew who she was. She is a Disney star, she was on Dancing with the Stars and almost won, she has a huge following - so while certain parts of the population don't know who she is, just as many (if not more) do know who she is. Don't be so dismissive of people just because they aren't on your personal radar.

#2 - I do think she overreacted, but I also don't walk in her shoes and don't have her experiences in life.

#3 - The comments about Zandaya's hair are questionable since someone else with the same (or very similar) style was praised for her edginess, while Zendaya was criticized.

#4 - when you have a show that is really all about finding fault in others appearance and style, you are going to step in it, over it, and across the line sometimes. Apologize or not, but not everyone has to play along with the adult version of mean girl games on the playground.

in typical racist white kween DL fashion, some of you are attacking Zendaya? She replied with maturity.

and in further typical racist OLD white kween DL fashion, Zendaya is a "nobody" because you old pieces of shit haven't heard of her? Well you're old and irrelevant. She's very popular with young people, you know, people who don't rely on viagra and who don't live in nursing homes.

If she were a white male celeb you would all be lusting over her and singing her praises in your corny, show tuney way.

Fuck off.

Who is she and more importantly why was she at the Oscars in the first place?

She's very pretty. Is she supposed to be black? If so she's pretty damn white looking.

The other person who wasn't criticized for their dreds was white.

I think Rancic was trying to say that the hairstyle was too heavy on a small girl and weighed her down. But she then meandered into racist territory by imagining what it would smell like.

She was on Dancing with the Stars and had a song called Replay that was on the radio. That's what I know her from.

No, R5 wins. That is exactly what Joan would do and what Giuliana is doing as we speak. Of course she does this several times a day....

Patchouli, weed and dreds hardly compose a racist sentiment or image. Conjures up Hippie, Rasta, Thora Birch, Wiccan, Whoopi, Lenny Kravitz, Weird Al, Daryl Hannah, Mary Louise Parker, The Wellness Center, my Aunt Debbie undergoing chemo, River Phoenix RIP.

R21 = black and angry

Zendaya should be putting Giuliana on her damn Christmas card list!

This is the most publicity she's received since appearing on that childrens' design show a while back.

I knew who Zendaya was because she won DWTS. I know she has a lot of fans from her Disney background.

I don't have a problem with how Zendaya has handled this at all. Bravo to her.

Should Rancic be crucified for her comments ? No. She apologized. Zendaya accepted. Let this go.

The most pressing issue is Rancic's health. There's thin and then there's deathly emaciated.

Rancic looks exactly like Karen Carpenter did in the end.

Her husband, friends and employer need to do an intervention to get her into an inpatient setting for anorexia.

And before you start, I am as gay as they come.

Go back to your tumblr blog dedicated to Ariana Grande and microaggressions, r21.

Zendaya has been on Fashion Police many times and knows the score. She was wearing a wig people. Dreads as a wig to the Oscars. She got off easy.

I'll never understand fangurls. If I like a certain musician or author and someone else bad mouths them I don't take it personally. Has nothing to do with me and every thing to do with personal opinion. I don't get the angry venom they spew if you dare not think their idol is some higher being to be worshipped.

R26 and R29 are typical racist, white kween and likely old DLers. Time to step away from the nursing home community center rec room computers.

White standards of beauty aren't the be-all, end-all standards of beauty.

Zendaya looked lovely. Who is Ghouliana or any of you to say dreadlocks don't belong at the Oscars because they don't fit your white standards of beauty?

She's 18, give her a break.

Think her hair smells? Wait till you smell her pubic hair. Iwonder whether they are braided too.

This beautiful young woman graciously accepted an apology after someone went on national television and insulted her in a nasty and unnecessary manner.

I loved her explanation, I loved her response. She sounds like a very intelligent, sensitive, thoughtful person.

She could have played the victim here but chose to take the high road. Very impressive for an 18 year-old. She handled this situation beautifully.

Way to go Zendaya!!

The point is the joke was not racist. Zendaya is a fashionista and they were critiquing her overall look. Zendaya has even moderated The Fashion Police when Rancic was off sick. She made this ridiculous accusation for publicity and Giuliana should never have apologized.

GOOMBA??

Check yourself, bitch.

[quote]She has several count them queen several youtube songs that have over 20 MILLION hits. One has over 85 million

Who the fuck cares about Youtube views!

Hit a nerve, huh?

GOOD.

A year from now, it'll be "Zen, who?"

How this have possibly hit a nerve with anyone??

She didn't use this as a way to look like a victim and boost her visibility. She accepted Rancic's apology and gave a thoughtful and eloquent explanation of why the remark bothered her. I say, nice job kiddo!

[quote]Body shaming and other hurtful tactics will never get the job done.

As others have mentioned, she's appeared on the show before. She knows the deal. Every week there are multiple remarks said on FP that someone could take offense at. It's the equivalent of someone getting pissed off at South Park or The Soup.

I agree, R41.

The only ones over reacting here are the chain smoking KKKaftan KKKweens who post here in between getting smashed, sniffing poppers and getting fucked bareback by the white trash garbage man.

She brought awareness to double-standards when it comes to beauty and race. Giuliana may have not mean it in a racial way, but it is what it is. Zendaya's reaction was appropriate.

That Rancic bobblehead has no room to criticize anyone else's looks.

She looked odd. I used to like Lisa Bonet's dreads. It fit her more.

If you don't see how ridiculous this is

[quote]I have so many people looking up to me, that I couldn’t be scared, wait it out, nor could I just stand up for me; I had to do it for WE.

I can't help you.

She's got nappy hair

today Sheryl Underwood chided Rancic's apology and said that nobody would dare bring up her "skeletal frame and inability to bear a child"

Thank you R20.

They meant it in a racial way. I posted on the other thread about this. Solange Knowles was compared to looking like a dog or a homeless person when she wore her hair natural. Anything beyond the length and look of Lupita's natural hair seems to set certain folks on edge. I watched that episode of Fashion Police and cringed. Unlike the 60's there's a whole generation out there who are thoroughly accustomed to seeing Black women with processed hair and flip at the sight of natural hair beyond a certain length.

R49 Sheryl Underwood has the most terrifying smile ever.

Which is too bad R51. I think their natural hair is so much more attractive. Remember Shari Belafonte's short afro?

I am fucking sick of nasty ass skanky white women always trying to shade black women and their hairstyles. STFU and worry about your own thin, weak bland locs and leave us the fuck alone.

R54 = RuPaul

I can't WAIT until the next time Giuliana is on the red carpet or some other event and has to interview a black celebrity, especially a woman. I wonder if Giuliana will purposely not be around them, or they'll boycott her? This will be delicious to watch. Since Giuliana is so fucking smug and thinks she's so important, the fallout of her ignorant comment will be entertaining to watch play out.

Joan would have never apologized....

there was no need - should have just replied "and you look like you smell like vomit and laxatives..." and been done with it.

She should quit acting and just apply to UC Santa Cruz.

r56 she will never get into uc santa cruz

Zendaya should have just tweeted, "at least I don't smell like vomit and desperation," and been done with it.

Zendaya? I used to use that for heartburn, now I switched to Prilosec.

Zendaya gets an A+ for spelling

A strong black woman who handled herself with grace and dignity. Naturally, she's a cunt on DL, because she dared to take issue with a pretentious white woman.

If Giuliana wants to keep it classy, she needs to have Zendaya on the show and apologize to her face. Follow that up by apologizing to all black women everywhere for being so stereotypical and admit that she does not condone racism. E! network should also be required to have a hour prime time special educating others about black women's hair and the history behind it.

[quote]As hard as it was to stop MYSELF from being ignorant and from posting the first mean words that came to my mind because I was hurt, I had to think about the bigger picture.

That sounds a little passive aggressive to me. I agree with R3, a simple thank you would have been so much better.

R12, R21, and R32 need to take it down a few notches.

R6/39, if you think it's appropriate to utter ethnic slurs during a discussion on racism then you really do need to check yourself, bitch.

Zendaya had a short pixie cut last week. Now that suddenly got locs installed, she can somehow represent all who wear locs?

She's a little twerp.

Wondering if Giuliana had to purge after eating her words.

It is absolutely appropriate.

NO ONE is immune from being castigated, shunned, criticized, etc. because of their physical characteristics.

That's the dirty little truth at the center of "racism," and one that dried-up nonentities such as Ghouliana ignore at their peril.

PAYBACK is the real bitch.

Yes Zendaya is a Disney star who has millions of youtube hits but she is only known by 14 year old girls and pedos.

Bitch, please. As if Fashion Police were gonna overlook dreads on the red carpet. It's not the Kid's Choice awards, have a sense of context.

ALL white people are racist. It's been proven time and time again. I feel for Z but what can she do? She's a victim of white hate. Truth is white people are so busy pointing the finger at each other they think we'll just let them all slide. Their racism knows no bounds. They are ALL at fault and need to reap what they've sewn. I think things have gotten so bad that she won't even lose her job much less be ostracized. Enough of this bullshit

Since the other thread about this has fallen, I will repost this here.

Blind item about Zendaya from last year.

"This former Disney tweener was reportedly in tears over the weekend because the executive she was having sex with to get the dream gig on national television she wanted was fired and the current regime doesn't want to hire her."

Zendaya/Bill Geddie/The View

R71: Maybe you should take time off from being so angry & learn to spell words & use them in proper context. That chip on your shoulder must be giving you scoliosis.

Not "sewn"..."sown"

ALL white ppl you have known might have been racist, but given your attitude, I can see why.

She wanted to be on The View?

R12 most people DO NOT know who this is, unless they are 12, or they have seen her zit commercial.

Not a household name. Despite what you think. Are you her mom?

"18 year old ACTRESS" is so hilarious.

THIS is an actress? NOBODY on ABC Family is an actor. They are people picked at random to say lines and mug for the camera. In shows that take 30 seconds to film.

Anyone can call him or herself an actress, just like they can call themselves a decorator.

Zendaya is a passing fad. Who gives a fuck what she thinks.

[quote]A strong black woman who handled herself with grace and dignity. Naturally, she's a cunt on DL, because she dared to take issue with a pretentious white woman.

Exactly. And they can't stand she's a beautiful black woman on top of that.

How fucking vapid. Quoting MLK because she was offended about remarks about her fake ass hair that had nothing to do with showing people of color pride in their hair. It was as much a fashion choice as the short hair she wore a week earlier.

People died unjustly and were imprisoned without cause during the civil rights movement. The words she quoted were for them, those words were for for all fighting for equality, those words had real meaning.

It is because of the civil rights movement that her fashion choices are criticized as any white woman's are. Deal with it, Princess.

Sheryl U throws shade at G at the end of this video.

I can't believe that someone who's made herself look as white as Nicole Kidman is being talked up as a "strong black woman"!

Seriously, would you believe this girl had any African ancestry, if you hadn't been told so?

Hair like that does look like it smells. Gross fashion. How they clean it is what I wonder.

Please, she looked like she a tarantula on her head or worse, Ursula the Seawitch.

Zendaya is one beautiful girl!

[quote]ALL white people are racist.

Well I'm a white fag that thinks Giuliani and Kathy (?)'s comments were out of line and fucked up, so don't generalize all of us. She is a beautiful girl and I thought her response was dignified.

I never heard of the biracial negress until yesterday.

She needs to quit acting or singing or tambourine-playing or whatever it is she has done to become famous and go back to the fifth grade grammar classes she evidentally slept through.

R84, If you are white you are racist. So you can go get your back patted somewhere else. I sure as hell ain't interested in doing it.

What was she doing at the Oscars anyway? I only know her for quitting the Aaliyah biopic. Most Disney stars are forgotten once they turn 21.

I'm team Walking Dead. Zendaya needs to get over it.

Ok I'll be racist then, r87. You've got it all figured out.

Zendaya is a pretentious cunt. The comments about her, if said by Joan Rivers, would have been instantly forgotten. Why couldn't the stupid cunt say something EMPOWERING like "Sorry, no patchouli or pot for me. Strictly Chanel #5 and vapor ciggies." Something with a bit of wit or charm that showed the silly comments rolled off her back. Her fucking righteous indignation is getting her some PRESS, that's why. You know that she LOVES LOVES LOVES that ANYONE said anything about her! She is thrilled for these comments and her chance to fein being insulted. Tweet time. Media exposure. And she gets to play victim! Score!

And yeah, she's only 18 but she could have ASKED someone what to say. You know, for "image." Her hair (dreadlocks) DO look like they stink. Facts are facts. And what the hell is racist about referencing that someone's hair reminds one of Rastaferian culture? What the hell is insulting about smelling like patchouli and weed? Is it inferring that one is inferior in some way because he smells of pot or patchouli? No one has a sense of humor anymore. Everyone is too thin skinned. No, racist or homophobic comments are never ok (even though I started out here by calling this girl a cunt so, yeah, I get the irony), but how about just LIGHTENING UP a little? TEMPEST IN A FUCKING TEAPOT.

R87, you sure are uppity. You need to know your place.

OP is a cunt.

R91 is a cunt.

CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT CUNT.

the black, racist troll is probably some middle aged white dude getting his kicks insulting his own race.

R71 & R87, you've voiced your opinion, now calm down.

The comment was made during Fashion Police, the show is known for mocking people. Zendaya is blowing this out of proportion and Kelly Osbourne needs to take a seat, she is lucky to have any job because of her family connections.

R95, I don't know if you are referring to me or not but I am one of posters in this thread that is telling it like it is. I am not white. I am a proud and loud black man. Trying to say otherwise won't change a damn thing. Racism clearly isn't going away anytime soon and neither am I.

R97 is a little white liar

But why the hell was she at the Oscars??

r71 [quote]ALL white people are racist.

Don't be a racist.

Agree with R3. She could have simply said, "Apology accepted. Thank you for the apology."

Instead, she had to make it a "teachable moment."

R91, Preach it guurl!

A rose is a rose is a rose...

R100, I'm just calling out racist fucks like you so how in the hell am I being racist? Where do you think racism came from? It came from whites discriminating against blacks. Do you really have to be told that?? Racism has always been and will always be a white thing. But I'm not surprised you'd try to turn the tables. It's what you all have done for centuries. It just doesn't work anymore.

This year's Oscars were the who's who of the c-list, R99. Zelda will fade back into tween obscurity once she shows she will never be anything more than marginally talented or she turns 25, whichever comes first. Many have come before her and have taken the same path.

Until then she will manufacture controversy to stay relevant. And, even that will get old.

Racist is quickly becoming a very overused word and is in danger of losing its meaning.

This is why we can't have nice things.

R104, racism, like dreadlocks, is no longer unique to any one race. It's called cultural appropriation.

Racism has been appropriated and is no longer an exclusively white thing.

Like it or not, dreadlocks were appropriated by whites decades ago and are no longer an African American thing.

Catch-up with life, you seem awfully behind the times and one might mistake your outdated way of thinking for actual racism.

Manufacturing controversy to stay relevant... hmmm... I wonder if anyone else has tried that....

[quote]Racist is quickly becoming a very overused word and is in danger of losing its meaning.

This. I feel the same way about "homophobic." It's completely meaningless.

R104. you are a stupid black racist. And too stupid to understand that. Good lord, please just stop posting. R107 READ you for sure.

[quote]All this because someone associated her fugly dreadlocks with patchouli and weed.

Well, the other man's grass IS always greener, OP.

R110, et al, I'm surprised that you haven't yet realized that R71, R104, etc, etc, etc throughout DL for the past few weeks, is a white* troll. It also hates lesbians. It's persistent, but the shtick is old now.

*waits for "black" troll to tell me it's black*

Rancic fucked up. The girl did look ridiculous with that over the top weave/wig whatever the hell it was. And Rancic could have criticized the look in any number of ways without going "there." But she went there and she needed to apologize.

So she did. And Zendaya accepted the apology.

But by all means, let's harp on this over and over again. Don't focus on, say, Comcast discriminating against blacks-- having white people continue their stranglehold on the media. Because the hairstyle of a "Disney star" (an oxymoron if there ever was one) is really the most important thing in race relations happening right now.

This is really what being a "social justice warrior" is all about. Ignoring the forest because of that desperately important tree.

R108, yes manufacturing a controversy. As I said, she is not the first. Nor will she be the last. The only question is how insufferable will she be until she fades away.

R91, If only you had refrained from calling the young woman a c**t, your post would be perfect. Bravo.

R110, You are a fucking racist. Just as much as the idiot at R107 you referenced.

R113, But it was Zelda who chose to make this superficial. She could have brought up inequality in the media as an important issue that needs to be addressed.

Instead she chose to attack a show that attacks fashionistas of all colors.

Worse, she turned it into a self serving issue... I am wearing fauxlocs so people of color can be proud of their hair. And then was hardly gracious in accepting an apology that was not needed nor should have been given.

She quoted MLK as if her weave was asked to sit at the back of the bus. The reality is...Rancid was as mean to her as she is to any white person. You witnessed racial equality.

What I'm shocked by is that Kelly Osbourne completely went off, turned on Guiliana and threatened to quit Fashion Police. This is beyond overreacting.

Whatever we may think of Kelly and Guiliana individually, they are colleagues, and Kelly totally overreacted. Jesus, give your colleague and co-worker a break. Osbourne didn't need to turn on Rancic so harshly over a stupid joke comment that was by no means racist.

Osbourne and Rancic have worked together for several years now. From the way they interact on the show, you would think that they're at least friendly with each other. Why would someone get so angry and mean toward friendly co-worker over a lame joke? What's wrong with Osbourne having a bit of compassion? Why would she blow something rather minor out of proportion?

And even if it were racist, the punishment needs to fit the crime. And this "punishment" has gone way overboard. By the way, Rancic should not have apologized over something so trivial.

Thank you, R116. Coming from you that is a compliment. I think I would have been more upset if we agreed.

Kathy Griffin never would have apologized. Joan never would have done so. Guiliana shouldn't have.

Sure, there are some things that require an apology. This is not one of them.

Angry black folk, there is a novel idea.

Don't you ever tire of carrying all that hostility around? It must be exhausting.

Zendaya is like Selena Gomez, a former child star entering the difficult young adult years where careers can fade away. Witness Miley Cyrus desperately changing her image with the use of extended tongue and awkward twerks, a means to stay relevant.

Will Zendaya have a career in five years? Who knows. Short, baby-faced young women often don't transition well into adulthood stars. Sally Field types are rare and it took her a very long time to be taken seriously.

IMO, it was not a race issue, it was a "look at me" moment, a bid to be taken seriously. I saw the show, my first thoughts were not of race but "she's being compared to a hippie."

Then, the new male host made a remark like "what does Zendaya do anyway?" That probably hurt more than the hair remarks.

R122, you make some great points.

But for the record Zendaya isn't short. She's on the tall side.

r104 = insane racist...

I have noticed Giulianna was really being bitchy on the new version of the show. I think she wanted to take over Joan's role and not let Griffin get all the laughs.

Problem is she isn't funny.

what the fuck is your damage, OP? rancid skeletor rancicis the cunt here. even if you don't think the comment was racist which it was, she still said the poor girls hair stank.

im sure that guiliana's starvation ketone breath REALLY stinks, but no one called her out on the red carpet.

I miss George!

Is the pachooli--(whatever it was called) oil, comment racist too? I never heard of that stuff.

Well, I suppose you would have to know how to spell it to Google it, R128.

[Some people are just not worth talking to.]

[quote]should have just replied "and you look like you smell like vomit and laxatives..."

Heh. I like you, R whoever said that.

r7 you fucking bellend

This thread makes me ill.

Putting aside this stupid argument between these two Hollywood goofs, we get to read about how "all whites are racists" and "how blacks and their supporters take offense" and that "they don't fit in" and should just leave the country... Fucking ridiculous. Does every white person act the same way? Every black? Every Hispanic? Every man? Every woman? Every gay? Every straight?

If you morons can't see that YOU are the problem, and that as long as you harbor these prejudiced attitudes, NOTHING WILL CHANGE, then you are completely, hopelessly beyond help.

Go ahead and keep playing your victim roles. It will make you far more miserable than anyone else could ever make you.

I've been coming here for years because I like the bitchiness. But we now constantly see hateful, mean-spirited crap posted under the guise of "bitchiness". There's a difference between the two, and DL has crossed over. I had always seen it on political threads, but now it's everywhere.

I need a break from this place. Adios.

R80

Zendaya is bi-racial.Her father is Black.

R118

According to reports Kelly argued against the Zendaya comment.The show was filmed 3 times and Kelly argued for the comment to be dropped She is friendly with Zendaya from DWTS.

Kelly's anger became furious when posters on Twitter wrongly attributed to comments to Kelly and not Rancic.

[quote]Racism has been appropriated and is no longer an exclusively white thing.

That is the most ignorant thing... have you even read a history book? Ever? In your life?

Racism exists amongst all races and always has. No one is saying otherwise. Well, except idiots like you who think some black teenager who gets called a "pretentious cunt" for wanting to be treated decently holds exactly the same amount of power as a middle-aged white politician who's a member of the KKK.

And look up what cultural appropriation really is before you hurt yourself with your stupidity.

[quote]No one is keeping you in this country and you really don't belong or fit in here anyway.

Yeah, seriously. I mean, if we can't bring black people over here against their will to enslave them and do our manual labor for us, then they should just go back to where they really belong.

You're so super smart, R130. I'm so glad the disaffected gays on DL have turned so toxic that they are now attracting straights like you here to our community. Welcome, friend!

When I see the name Zendaya, I think of the racehorse Zenyatta. Zenyatta is more beautiful and talented. Don't get angry at my remark as Zenyatta is more beautiful and talented than any human.

R128 patchouli oil is associated with hippies and most hippies are white.

R135...No shit Captain Obvious. That was in response to a poster who said racism is exclusively a white thing,

"White standards of beauty aren't the be-all, end-all standards of beauty".

Honey, you need to sit down. You aren't making any grand proclamation or revolutionary statement here, considering WHITE WOMEN have been tanning, plumping their lips, and now getting those dumb Brazilian butt jobs.

To aspire to a brown aesthetic. So SIT DOWN, because you're trying to get where many of us have already been!

And btw cupcake, I'm 24, not 84, so how about you lay off the ageism you're spouting and just get back to fantasizing that Z and you will one day be eating cupcakes and shopping together. Also, btw, as someone who uses YT myself, she is outviewed by Pew Die Pie, a het, white gamer. I'm sure that's a white conspiracy too. Either way, views in YT-land are NOT measured the same as they are in film or theater so, again, SIT DOWN!

And grow up. That means dumping your special victim status and thinking you're solving serious social issues by charging into DL on your pony, waving the Zendaya flag high. Life is not a movie.

R140...she's riding a unicorn spouting rainbows out its ass and not a pony. Can't you tell the difference?

[quote]The girl did look ridiculous with that over the top weave/wig whatever the hell it was. And Rancic could have criticized the look in any number of ways without going "there."

Going [italic]where[/italic]? To the notorious racist stereotype of patchouli and weed?

Kelly (age 30) considers Zendaya (age 18) a "good friend"

R143

The word was "friendly".

Patchouli is what it would smell like if all the employees at the Glade factory pissed and shit on the floor during their shifts, and it got mixed in with the Glade. Or maybe even worse than that.

Patchouli has been called "hippie piss" for generations.

Zelda looks like a white girl, so they probably didn't intend to be racist. And dreads and weed are like peanut butter and jelly. But if they were fauxlocks, then this little bitch is appropriating culture and fabricating DRAMA.

This bitch Zananeya with her stupid name is taking herself very seriously! Chill the fuck out, bitch ! You are only 18 and already a pretentious fart. The bigger is that there's a huge racims problem in the US and there's a racist hunt. Yesterday's racist was Giuliana, who's gonna be the racist of tomorrow ? Rashida Jones ?

Zanananandandaneya quoted Martin Luther King Jr. for a stupid fashion joke but what did she say about Eric Garner's death ? Huh ? Stupid bitch !I hope her career ends today. Pretentious fart.

The only thing we can take away from this :

Zendaya is an obnoxious nobody

Giuliana cannot make jokes like Joan

Kelly is an overreating attention whore

The obnoxious Ghouliana Rancid is the LAST person who should be commenting on anyone's hairstyle or fashion sense, the woman looks like a cross between ET and an anorexic praying mantis!

R148...in fairness, Zelda's weave was asked to sit in the back of the bus and it wasn't allowed to sit at the lunch counter with the white people's weaves. So quoting MLK was SOOOOO appropriate.

I sat next to someone with dreadlocks at a meeting recently. While neither he nor they smelled like patchouli, they didn't give off a pleasant smell, either. It smelled like "old." I would not choose to sit next to that guy again unless he had undreaded himself.

I wish Joan was alive to put Zendaya in her place. Joan would have just told Zendaya to grow up. It's just comedy. Granted, Giuliana is no comic, but she really didn't go over the line if you ask me.

I think it was a terrible mistake to say that rug on her head looked like it smelled like weed.

It looked like smelled of weed and entitlement.

If this idiot cunt thinks she has taken a stand for anything or knows anything about race issues in America, I suggest that, yes, black lives matter,

but hers doesn't.

[quote]Kelly said it but by using her expert ventriloquism skills she made it appear Giulianna said it.

Could this be true?

[R151] Haha, but the MLK should be used with precaution though, it's like a golden card. If you start using MKL quotes for a stupid fashion comment then who are you gonna quote when you're literally not allowed to sit a lunch with your white co-workers because you've been told that you're black and therefore you have no soul or something racist bullshit ?

R156...not sure I understand.

When Zelda accepted Rancid's apology, she was anything but gracious. It was pretentious as all hell.

She essentially said she was speaking up for all people of color and then used a very powerful MLK quote as if Rancid was the oppressor of all young starlets of color wearing weaves to the Oscars, oh, and African American's too.

Shes not a pretentious cunt. She seems remarkably grounded and intelligent for an 18 yr old Nickelodeon star. She values education and it shows.

She wrote ANOTHER piece because things simmer. Z won't say it, but she is pissed that Giuliana complimented the style on Kylie Jenner. That is why it fits into a racial context.

R158, then she needs to grow the fuck up and lose the Disney Princess attitude. Jenner didn't wear her fauxlocs the Oscars. There's a fucking difference.

She threw a tantrum, and you know what, unless she has the talent to back up the attitude, this is going to be her defining moment of her career.

oh, and she is marginally talented. Rumor has it she lost a few roles and spreads em.

Excuse me? You cant wear an ethnic hairstyle to the Oscars? Come again please?

There's nothing intelligent and grounded in reacting the way she did. She went all the way 'Look at me, I'm intelligent and I know how to stand for myself and black people' for a fucking fashion joke. It doesn't get any dumber. There's a place and a time to fight against racism and it's certainly not that way. Oprah also suffered racism during a shopping spree in Switzerland but she never reacted like Zendaya. I love Oprah, I think Zendaya is stupid.

No it was gracious. If that bitch was half as gracious to Zendaya, then she would have done the apology to her face. Not read some prepared statement in the studio. Zendaya accepted the poorly written, visibly nervous delivered apology by the white woman anyway. Get over yourselves.

Jenner was stupid for wearing dreadlocks. Rancic only praised her because she's an E! star. Another white woman getting praise from jacking from the black community. Stop appropriating their style (and doing it so badly to boot). Problem solved.

R161 You are so full of shit. Oprah had the founder of Hermes on her show kissing her ass and apologizing profusely over how she was treated.

Zendaya obviously touched a nerve in her truth.

Team Guilana here, the black bitch did look like she smelled

Guilana didn't even come up with it. It was a pre-written joke creator by a writer on the show.

R164 Great! You can support Giuliana when she's fired from Fashion Police!

R163 Oh okay, I didn't know that. Ok maybe I'm full of shit for saying that. But nevertheless, I'm still amazed how a joke like this can create such tension. There is so much more opportunities to adress racism issues and I don't think this one was a good one. Once again and I will repeat myself until somebody agrees with me, but I'm still shocked that we're talking about that as being racism and we're not still talking about Eric Garner.

R161 For example, I think Oprah's reaction was justified because of the context.

Ethnic hairstyle? She treats her hair like a hat. A week earlier she wore a short wig to the Grammys. It was a joke, as was her hat hair.

That's what happens with c-listers out of their element. She was surrounded by bigger and better talent and wanted attention

She has limited talent and it looks like she knows it and is afraid she is going down the same path as many, many other tweens.

One thing to add... Oprah caught a lot of shit when it came out what really happened and how Oprah acted badly.

R169, you have no clue what youre talking about. who cares if she changes up hairstyles? How does that make the locs any less ethnic? Black women wear their hir in a fro one day, flat ironed straight the next, and braided extensions for 6 weeks until its time for them to be taken out. How does that make a fro or locs or braid extensions any less ethnic because theyre worn temporarily?

I also dont agree with your assessment of her talent. What are you basing that on? Are youhwr target demographic? Your opinions are larger than your capacity, sweetheart.

R171, that's your opinion and I don't don't share it. She needs to grow the fuck up. A joke was made about her fauxlocs and quoting MLK was way out of line. There is enough real racism in this world and manufactured controversies dilute the real issues. FYI... Most of the criticism on Fashion Police is directed toward white women.

Just because Jenner got a pass on wearing fauxlocs under different circumstances doesn't make anything racist. Zelda was criticized just like any white woman. The only difference is it used to be Joan Rivers delivering the lines...so now it was Rancid. Big. Fucking. Deal.

I am a living, breathing human being with eyes, ears and intelligence. She is marginally talented. She should kiss everyone at E for handing her the gift of recognition that her talent had thus far failed to bring.

Are you Kelly Osborne? Because you write like KO.

Why was she even at the Oscars?

OH MY GOD, Zendaya must be jumping up and down. First of all, even if she was beautiful at the Oscars, what the fuck was she doing there ? Talking about Oscars and locs, Zoe Kravitz and her mom, Denise Huxtable were beautiful, really beautiful !

Since all this shit happened, I visited Zendaya's instragam at leat 4 times, watched 2 of her wack music videos and googled her name at leat 11 times. She must be so grateful for this publicity stunt. No wonder why she's friend with Kelly, 2 attention whores.

R174 and R175 win !!!!! Zendaya who ?

For the Princess Zelda stans...Imagine the meltdown your special snowflake would have had if any of this was said about her...

Lea Michele: “She looks like a porn star. You know the kind of porn stars who aren’t the prettiest, so they do crazy stuff like amputee gang bangs?”

Rihanna: Why the green lips?, It looks like she just [bleep] the Grinch. Talk about Christmas coming early.”

Pamela Anderson: “It looks like the trailer park exploded and they landed at the Grammys.”

Beyonce: “I hate this so much. It reminds me of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta.’ Mostly black with that one annoying white thing.”

Heidi Klum: "The last time a German looked this hot was when they were pushing Jews into the ovens.

And Princess Zelda quoted MLK because her fauxlocs make her look like she smells like patchouli and weed. She's luckly she didn't say she looked like Axl Rose in a dress. Snort. A diva needs the talent to back up the attitude.

So, R174 proves my point. It wasn't Princess Zelda's talent that got her attention.

Lol @ r176 Those are good. There used to be so many zingers on FP that it's hard to remember them all. They should release a best of or a book or something. I deleted dozens of episodes last summer. If only I had known what was going to happen I would have kept them.

Fashion Police was and still is Joan's show !!!

Ghouliana Ranstick criticizing someone for their appearance? Too bad Zendaya didn't respond by sending that walking hairpin a full length mirror!

R172 There was plenty of controversy over the Heidi Klum comment alone. And yes, Rivers was called to apologize by Jewish organizations If you're going to lie to make your point, then you can't be expected to be taken seriously.

Please enlighten us all on what Giuliani Rancic has accomplished that would make her an expert on ANYTHING, let alone critiquing fashion? Joan Rivers was at least a groundbreaking standup comedienne and talk show host for fifty years.

When the shows executive producer tweets a message of sympathy to Zendaya while snubbing the white bobblehead completely, then it should be a clue that you're fighting a lost cause. Zendaya won and you lost.

And all the white tears aren't going to change it this time.

Sadly, people like princess Zelda and the illiterate Kelly and their faux outrage will prevent the creation of another Joan. What Rancid said was mild compared to what I posted that came from JR.

Rancid should never have apologized. Since it was rumored that Zelda fucked Geddes for seat on the View... I am suspect of the timing of her fauxrage now that Rosie's seat is open.

Also, notice how quiet the thread got? Same thing last night too. It's a school night,

I'm black and I think Zendaya is a cunt. Anyway

For the Heidi joke, once again, pointless controversy, Joan was jewish and when she died she was thank by Israel for being so vocal about what she believed in. She also was the one who said if you can't laugh about it, you can't deal with it.

R181 That's because we're waiting to read how Giuliana is qualified to be on Fashion Police. Are you trying to say that bobblehead is on Joan Rivers level?

R179 Exactly. Someone who's on the show for some unsubstantiated reason trying to pretend that she's on the level of a comedic legend in the business for fifty years. She's not Joan Rivers and she got the memo big time.

Kelly Osbourne handled it with real dignity. I was very impressed with how she conducted herself. She's matured into a classy woman.

Can't wait to read Giulana's credentials other than E! news lap dog!

There are no qualifications for being on Fasion Police. It's a TV show, enough people enjoy watching it to keep it on the air. Gulianna needs a sandwich, that doesn't make her racist.

Saw this fool in NYC in Oct outside the GMA studio feeding off Taylor Swift fans rushing by them shaking hands saying Gotta Go Gotta Go, Thanks! Oooohhh, Gotta Go Gotta Go.....

OK I would totally be team Zendaya because she did handle herself so well if there was actual racism involved, but it's an effing comedy show!

You know how many times Joan made jokes about Helen Keller or how the Kardashians are like football stadiums because they've had so many black guys inside them?

And yes, Giuliana is morbidly anorexic and shouldn't really be talking shit about anyone's looks, but it's labeled as a comedy show, it's not supposed to be taken seriously.

It really was a joke and you can not be racist and even be attracted to black people but still think dreads are gross because of the cleanliness issue.

R183, Kelly was a shrieking harpy whose illiterate tweets were hysterical, and not the funny haha hysterical.

When it was first brought to her attention she had no fucking clue anybody was pissed. Her tweets were like all...waaa. I don't know what's going on. Duhhhh.

She then became the ultimate backstabber when people thought she made the comment. FYI...Rancid didn't make the comment, she agreed with someone off camera who said it. So the actual comment was either made by the Hamburgler or Grifith. So direct your fauxrage appropriately.

The Hamburgerler is less qualified than Rancid to judge fashion. She's a fat twat whose tats look like morbid lividity. And she never has an opinion other than to say, "I'm obsessed with that dress." She could be replace by a robot and nobody would notice.

What made Joan qualified to judge fashion other than the major plastic surgery and her humor? Her fashion line came later. It's all just opinion. Rancid's opinion is just as valid as the chunky shrieking harpy with ugly tats and no opinion.

At least Rancid tries. The twat just sits there giggling and pointing fingers.

R186, it was said earlier it was scripted. So really, Rancid was the only one who handled it with grace. FUCK Y'ALL.

Zelda is looking for a gig and there's nobody at the View to fuck and suck anymore. And Kelly is a huge TWAT.

I'm not a dreadlocks expert, but don't you have to not wash your hair for months and put oils in it to the point you are basically fermenting it?

And Bob Marley, isn't he the one who most associated with dreads and is very open about his marijuana use and sings about it?

I don't even get the racist connection. White people potheads with dreads probably smell, too.

Some members of the AA community (I know, it wasn't everyone, blacks are not monolithic) came down on Zendaya hard saying she was not black enough to play Aliyah or Storm because she is only half black and light skinned so maybe this was her way trying to get more cred with those people?

Your math is based on fiction. You are saying that ALL men work more hours and ALL women less and that ALL these men get more work done by working these extra hours...that is far from always true. Corporations, that have people with brains running them, pay you for the end results on a project ...no matter the time spent. A lot of men have to work extra hours because they are not as efficient and organized as their female counterparts.

Hi Rob, welcome to the Zendaya is a cunt thread.

Most of the people I've known with dreads are white hippies and very few of the black people I know have worn dreads. There was a girl at my college who died hers green, she was referred to as moldy locks. There was a What not to Wear episode where they cut of a white lady's dreads and all this dust came out of her hair. An old 60s era hippy family friend would refer to younger hippies as tackle box kids, due to the beads in their dreads and all the pearcings. Mocking dreads isn't inherently racist.

Who is Zelda?

[quote]I'm not a dreadlocks expert, but don't you have to not wash your hair for months and put oils in it to the point you are basically fermenting it?

Zendaya's dreads were extensions.

I know, R196, even more reason she sounds stupid getting offended about it.

She is basically what you call in high school a poser. She is wearing fake dreads to try to get more black race cred and it's so obvious she's trying so hard. She probably doesn't even smoke weed, but if her dreads were real she probably would.

She just wants publicity and has no idea what she's talking about it seems.

R190, to, answer your question...yes. And the fact that Zelda was wearing fauxloc is why the comment was "looks like she smells" and not "she smells," R196.

[quote]And Bob Marley, isn't he the one who most associated with dreads and is very open about his marijuana use and sings about it?

Not any more, sweetie.

Your mother is a cunt.....

The bitche's name is rancid. Nuff said.

Guys !!! We need to found a clip of Zendaya laughing at a joke that she would get offended by today !!!

R201 I'm assuming you're talking about her fashion police appearances

Dreads and weed shut the front door!

IP address monitor please. Calling an 18 year old a cunt. Probably a 35 year old faggot member of NAMBLA man/boy sex shit. All of you are willing participants in fucking 15 year old boys or younger; you've just learned to keep quiet about it. The fact you think it is legitimate to call an 18 year old a cunt, put it in the title of a thread with no retribution is proof how entrenched your disregard of children reaches.

Then you turn around and use language reserved for babies and kittens to describe stank dump taking, hair balls, farting grown ass men as 'adorable.'

You all are some sick fucks.

From naughtygossip.com

“Kelly had a blowout fight with Kathy when she started the show,” the second “Fashion Police” insider tells us. “There were words, because Kelly talks about Joan constantly — which is OK; we all love Joan, and Melissa (Rivers, Joan’s daughter and executive producer of the show) talks about her openly — but (Osbourne would) imply Kathy wasn’t Joan.”

IP address monitor? BLAWHAHAHAHW. Right. You're new here. Is that anything like a hall monitor?

18 or 80, doesn't matter, what she did was cunty so it makes her a cunt.

R204 If she's 18 she isn't a child anymore, retard.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I meant when he was alive R199 he was open about it and wrote songs about it. I thought he was the one who popularized the dreadlocks, pothead Rastafarian lifestyle and he wouldn't be offended by someone thinking he smoked weed because he was open about it because it's part of his lifestyle culture, not anything based on a specific race.

Marley smoked weed as part of his religion:

I guess the point was to point out how quickly this site condones the verbal abuse of the young.

40 year old men acting like 12 year old girls.....oh,,,oops. Nevermind.

Aww, R211, sweetie, bless your little heart. Now run along.

"Locs" instead of "locks"? Please.

Yeah, R213. Either is acceptable.

Locs or Locks Definition: Short for or replacing the somewhat negative term "dreadlocks," locs is a hairstyle where the hair that one would normally comb or shed locks on itself, creating ropelike strands. Hair is not combed during the locking process, which is what causes the strands to coil around themselves into fused units.

Don't believe me, then Google it. I'm not your search engine.

I didn't really care until I read r204's post. Now I think Zendaya is a cunt.

White people can't really do locs. Yeah, I know, we've all seen them try, but straight hair doesn't loc well. In fact, in order for straight hair to loc at all, one must abstain from washing it. Straight hair gets RANCID when it isn't washed because oil will saturate it from root to tip. That's probably why any white person you've ever met with dreadlocs had an unpleasant smell. Kinky hair is drier, takes a long time to get "greasy" and will lock even with regular washing. Who are the people thinking dreadlocs aren't washed?

R216...I don't know what color you are, but I take it you smell like weed, at least I hope you do.

I've know several African American men and women whose locs stank. Two even ended uo cutting them off because they began to rot.

Hey 217, all men who engage in anal stank up the room, bed and their balls. Read your own thread about anal sex, pools of poo, med fuck cessation to take a dump, drooling brown liquid from the ass, pieces of shit stuck to dicks, oh my! Sounds lovely.

Concentrate on your own stank, freak.

I read an article about the oil, odors, and locs remarks and many comments made were from blacks. They talked about the difficulty of styling black hair and the memory of taunts about awful old odor and oil stereotypes. The remarks hit a painful nerve, and after seeing the cute photos of Zendaya with her dread-locked father posted above, her reaction makes more sense to me. I doubt she was thinking about herself but about people she loves. Giuliana was right to apologize and she did so graciously considering the jokes were scripted and approved by a team of writers lead by a black male editor. Goodbye Kelly, the show is no longer a good fit for you.

Got some angry black folk in this thread...

The reason she complimented the Jenner girl was that they have a kinship of sorts - they both look like stick insects.

blah!

[quote]Got some angry black folk in this thread...

There are "angry folk" in every thread on Datalounge and 99.9999% of them are white. This thread is no different. The few minorities who post here usually ignore the bigots and the race baiting.

OK, Zendaya, you had your 15 minutes. Now git.

I'm listening to her song right now.

This has been a good career move for her. Remember when everyone was saying she wasn't black/dark enough to play Ayilaah in her bio pic. Now she's established her black cred and Rancic has established she's no Joan Rivers.

R304= zendaya's dad.

NEWS ALERT!!! Kelly Quits Fashion Police!

Zendaya has dozens of fans who care deeply about this!

R224, I'm sick of racist shit comments like this. I'm black and I am damn sick and tired of fucked up white women saying otherwise. Take your racism and shove it up your ass.

You're an insecure whiner who can't understand context.

Ariana Grande is better than Zendaya! And more successful too.

who the fuck is Zenya?

Zen was on the cover of Vanity Fair. She is on the rise.
