Stars are praising Kathy Griffin for parting ways with "Fashion Police" after just seven episodes.

In a tweet, Griffin said her style didn't match up with the E! show's "creative direction."

"There is plenty to make fun of in pop culture without bringing people's bodies into it. ... I do not want to use my comedy to contribute to a culture of unattainable perfectionism and intolerance towards difference," she wrote.

Her move comes on the heels of controversy surrounding co-host Giuliana Rancic's red-carpet criticism of singer-actress Zendaya's dreadlocks.

Now celebrities, including former "Fashion Police" star Kelly Osbourne, are chiming in on her departure:

Congrats to my beautiful friend Kathy Griffin for bravely saying enough is enough to intolerance of all kinds on television. She's modeling a better way for the youths (and working those ears.)
