| Giuliana Rancic received death threats over her comments on 'Fashion Police'.
The 40-year-old TV presenter has revealed she was swamped with abusive messages after stating singer Zendaya Coleman's dreadlocks looked like they smelt like "patchouli oil ... or maybe weed", while hosting the E! show at this year's Oscars.
She said: "It was a very unfortunate incident. I'm so regretful that people interpreted the joke [as they did]. I hurt people and I feel terrible about that. And I learned a really important lesson that if people are offended, it doesn't matter the intent.
"I started very quickly getting death threats. People were sending me pictures of the barrel of a gun saying, 'I'm going to kill your family.' It was awful."
Giuliana insists her comments were taken out of context and was shocked when she read a statement in which Zendaya branded her words "ignorant slurs".
