A "Fashion Police" update confirmed that comedienne Kathy Griffin has admitted that she got an offer from E! Network to host the show after Joan Rivers' death.
In a "Fashion Police" update reported by People, the protégé of Joan Rivers addressed the issue about "replacing" the TV icon.
"They did offer it to me," Kathy Griffin revealed while at the Make Equality Reality gala in Beverly Hills.
"I don't know if the situation is correct or right at this time for me. We'll see," she said.
After Joan Rivers' untimely death last September 4, which resulted from complications during a botched throat surgery at New York's Yorkville Endoscopy clinic, a lot have wondered about who will fill in the comedienne's vacated slot at "Fashion Police".
An earlier "Fashion Police" update even reported that Kathy Griffin has already been chosen to take on the job.
A source has told Daily Mail: "Kathy has been told if she wants the gig she can have it because Melissa wanted someone who her mother would have approved of."
The insider added: "Kathy will probably take the position but they are still working out the deal."
The "Fashion Police" update came after rumors regarding Kathy Griffin's hosting stint started circulating even while Joan Rivers was still in a coma. The late comedienne's good friend immediately shut down the rumors back then. "It's disgusting. It's not true," Kathy Griffin said.
"I know that stuff shouldn't bother me at this stage of my career-you know, I thought I'd heard it all-but that one hurts, because it's as far from the truth as you can get," Kathy Griffin expressed, reported by Daily Mail.
A source close to Kathy Griffin said the redhead "adored and admired Joan". The insider said: "Not only did Joan mentor Kathy they were really close friends. Kathy is heartbroken that she is gone."
