At the risk of sounding patronising, Zendaya really has a masterful way with words despite her years. She comes across as an articulate and mature young woman. In response to Rancic's on camera apology for her comments, the 18-year-old actress had this to say:
"Body shaming and other hurtful tactics will never get the job done... Giuliana, I appreciate your apology and I'm glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network."
Since Zendaya posted her equally eloquent tweet regarding how Rancic's comments made her feel, she has seen an outpouring of support from the likes of Chloe Grace Moretz, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Solange Knowles, Ava DeVernay and many more...
You are beauty personified. I celebrate you sis! RT "@Zendaya: Just posted a photo https://t.co/rftab9VoBv"

Does this herald the end for the harsh words of Fashion Police? Do you watch it? We'd love to hear your thoughts.
