Wendy Williams Doesn’t Hold Back On Diddy
Former talk show host Wendy Williams has weighed in on the Diddy controversy, speaking out against the rapper and music mogul. The comments come after Williams stepped out of the spotlight in 2023 for medical reasons, giving her interview from a care facility. She called out the celebrity for his history of abuse and supported the legal actions being taken against him.
Wendy Williams Talks Diddy
Wendy Williams talked about Diddy in an interview with The Daily Mail on October 1st.
In that interview, she claims to have known about the rapper’s behavior for several years and points out that she’s been publicly warning people about him for years.
She cited the 2016 video of the rapper physically abusing his then-girlfriend Cassie as evidence of his abusive history, which she frequently called out.
Diddy Allegations
Of course, Wendy Williams is talking about Diddy now because of the numerous criminal accusations against him.
He’s been charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution across state lines, with prosecutors painting a picture of horrific sexual abuse, manipulation, and violence.
Over a hundred women claiming to be victims of the rapper have filed lawsuits against him in addition to the federal criminal case.
Wendy Williams And Diddy Feud
The hostility between Wendy Williams and Diddy goes back many years to her time as a DJ.
She was critical of the rapper during the 90s, drawing attention to his alarming behavior and mocking the rising star in numerous ways.
That criticism continued throughout her career, which she pointed out in her recent interview claiming that multiple people have told her, “Wendy you called it.”
Lost Job Because Of Diddy?
For decades, there have been rumors that Wendy Williams lost her DJing job because of her criticism of Diddy. According to the rumor, the rapper threatened the radio station Hot 97, demanding that they fire her after she mocked him on air.
According to a former bodyguard, the music mogul threatened to lead a music executive boycott against the station.
Wendy Williams Show
From the late 2000s to the 2010s, Wendy Williams was an established talk show host who was particularly known for her coverage of celebrities like Diddy.
Her nationally syndicated daytime talk show ran from 2008 to 2021 and was frequently one of the highest-rated talk shows in the country, making Williams an authority on celebrity news.
She used that platform to report on the rapper, calling out his various controversies and abusive past
Speaking Out Against Diddy
Given their history, it wouldn’t be surprising that Wendy Williams was speaking out against Diddy if not for her almost complete move away from public life.
The TV personality was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023 and has been living in a care facility with court-ordered guardianship ever since.
The fact that she made an exception to speak out against the rapper is a testament to her passion for the subject.
The recent allegations have caused many celebrities to speak out, but Wendy Williams has been calling Diddy out for decades. It’s only fitting that the TV personality would reiterate her stance on the rapper now that he’s been charged with such heinous crimes.
Even after removing herself from the public light, she’s finding ways to criticize the rapper.
