Giuliana’s Shame: Rancic’s Restaurant Accused Of Racism 2 Years After Scandal

Giuliana Rancic has been hit with another claim of racism just two years after her horrific Fashion Police scandal. This time, by a scorned patron of her Washington, D.C. restaurant.

The former E! News anchor, 43, was slammed for her seemingly racist remark on the show about actress Zendaya’s braids, saying they probably smelled like “patchouli” and “weed” at the 2015 Oscars. Rancic subsequently lost her job with Fashion Police and the network.

Now, a customer at her health-code violations plagued restaurant RPM Italian claimed that she was racially profiled while visiting the restaurant.

“Went to RPM on Tuesday,” a woman wrote on August 16 to the Ask Tom chat in the Washington Post.

“My cousin and I were the first ones through the door (reservation for 11:30 AM). In a completely empty restaurant, they chose to seat us in a two-fer, those tiny tables for two. I noticed that the white woman who came right behind us was seated in a nice, comfortable booth. Later, a young man in a t-shirt came to join her. For the next hour, every party was seated in the booths or at a table for four, even the ones who came in twos. It wasn't until an hour later when a black woman came in by herself that another small table like ours was used. See the picture?”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, RPM Italian was hit with four health code violations after an inspection by the Washington, DC Health Regulation and Licensing Administration discovered the infractions.

The restaurant customer began her question to Washington Post food critic, Tom Sietsema, with: “Since the racial issue is much in the news these days, would you like to comment on racial bias in seating of restaurant guests? Or are you scared of the issue? I encounter this kind of bias frequently, especially in high-end restaurants. I am small and grey-haired, a most unimposing-looking Asian woman. People have no way of knowing about my advanced degrees, my IQ, and more importantly to Americans, my net worth.”

Giuliana and her husband, Bill Rancic opened the restaurant in 2016.

“Btw, the food there wasn't that exceptional,” the woman wrote about her culinary experience. “You can get better pasta in some suburban restaurants. The only thing of note is their gelato, which is house-made and is yummy. Our server, a Latina, was most wonderful also.”

The woman ended her question again deriding her visit. “But I take umbrage at encountering racism where I want to enjoy a nice meal and where I spend my money. When is this going to end? Should we have a list of racist restaurants where minorities should not go?”
