Giuliana Rancic's offensive comment regarding actress Zendaya Coleman's hair stirred quite the controversy, forcing the "Fashion Police" commentator to publicly apologize.

Rancic went on air Tuesday to admit that the comment about Coleman's hair, stating that it "looked as if it smelled like patchouli oil and weed" was inappropriate and allowed her to learn a lot about stereotypes and cliches.

Accepting the apology, Coleman later tweets a response saying:

"I appreciate your apology and I'm glad it was a learning experience for you and for the network. I hope that others negatively affected by her words can also find it in their hearts to accept her apology as well."

Coleman decided to take her response a bit further attaching a note addressing a lesson on prejudice. The note read:

"Studies have shown that even though we try to act without prejudice, sometimes it's just hidden inside us due to our past or surroundings. That hidden prejudice is often influential in our actions. It's our job to spot these issues within others and ourselves and destroy them before they become hurtful," she wrote. "I have so many people looking up to me, that I couldn't be scared, wait it out, nor could I just stand up for me; I had to do it for WE."

"Body shaming and other hurtful tactics will never get the job done. As hard as it was to stop MYSELF from being ignorant and from posting the first mean words that came to my mind because I was hurt, I had to think about the bigger picture. Instead I sat for two hours on my phone, doing my research and formulating an educated response."

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Let's be that light and spread that love."
