Giuliana Rancic Opens Up On Weight Loss, Fashion Police Drama, Social Media Negativity & Cancer

In a recent interview with “Today’s” Savannah Guthrie, the E! star answered the trending question about her weight loss and lots more. “I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight, really in the past year or two, due to the cancer medication that I’m on,” Rancic said on the NBC morning show. “To be honest, I was eating more than I’ve ever eaten, but I was losing weight and I was scared. I didn’t think, ‘Oh this is great’ — I thought, ‘What the heck’s happening to my body?’ … It’s very scary to have cancer, be on medication — then you start losing weight? I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, is the cancer back?’ I went to my doctor and he said a side effect from the medication I’m on is weight loss.”


Despite the psychological strain the issue has put on her — “I would post something on Instagram of Duke and I just playing, and 90 percent of the comments would be about my appearance and not about the moment” — she’s kept a cool head.

"I don’t care what anonymous people think about me, ultimately,” she says. “These people on social media, they’ve got all this courage to say whatever they want about you, and meanwhile they’re hiding behind an egg profile [the default Twitter profile image, left]. The worst ones are the eggs, you can quote me,” she jokes.

She’s training herself to skip over the cruel comments on social media, focusing on the good. “I’ve had a couple people say to me, ‘Ugh, social media’s the worst, you should just get off of it,’ ” she says. “And I think no! Because there’s a lot of good on social media, as well. For every bad egg — no pun intended — there are hundreds of good eggs, and there are so many wonderful people that I like engaging with on social media.”

Another social media-fed controversy on Rancic’s plate recently has been the behind-the-scenes turmoil surrounding “Fashion Police.” Despite panelist shake-ups and misconstrued jokes, the show is set to return this August. “I’ve been very honest in the past couple of months that I’m not going back to the same show just with different people,” she says. “The producers don’t want that and neither does the network. … [The show] is going to be different, and honestly for no other reason than this is the third version of it, and it would be silly to do exactly what we did the first two times. There are a lot of clever ideas. … It’s going to be very entertaining.”
