Hollywood stars Lena Dunham, Chelsea Handler, Jane Lynch and Josh Groban have come out in support of Kathy Griffin after she announced her departure from "Fashion Police".
Griffin joined the E! show to replace the late Joan Rivers. She left following controversy surrounding Giuliana Rancic's insensitive comments about Zendaya Coleman's Oscars deadlocks. Without mentioning the debacle, she suggested the show was just too mean spirited for her.
