Wendy Williams may no longer be on our screens but her voice still echoes through the entertainment world. Known for stirring the pot with her candid takes, the former daytime talk queen recently weighed in on the mounting legal troubles of Sean "Diddy" Combs.
In a conversation with “Daily Mail”, Williams revealed she wasn’t shocked by the explosive allegations that have shaken the “bad boy’s” empire, even hinting that she saw it all coming.
“What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy you called it’, including some people from my family who have said the same.”
“You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummelled … it was just horrific.” she said.
“But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”
For years, Wendy has hinted at Diddy’s behind-the-scenes drama, making her recent comments hit even harder as the scandal surrounding him continues to unfold.
The former host of the “Wendy Williams Show” and Diddy’s relationship has always been tense. Back in her radio days, Williams wasn’t afraid to call out the rap icon on her show, which reportedly got her into hot water with industry elites.
Diddy’s Bad Boy empire was at its peak but Williams wasn’t backing down, often suggesting that there was more to the rapper's clean public persona than met the eye.
Their feud bubbled over in the 1990s, with rumours that Diddy allegedly tried to get Williams fired from her radio gig due to her relentless criticism.
Despite the pushback, she continued to bring up Diddy’s alleged past controversies, planting seeds of suspicion among her listeners. Fast forward to today, and many are looking back at Williams’s words with fresh eyes, especially in light of Diddy’s recent legal problems.
According to Charlamagne Tha God and Diddy's former bodyguard, Gene Deal, Diddy used his influence to get Williams fired from her job at the radio station, an incident that had a lasting impact on her career.
Despite this history, her more recent commentary on Diddy’s legal issues suggests that she’s still unafraid to speak her mind on the controversial figure.
