The Wendy Williams Show - General Discussion

Her interview today with Rashad Jennings was just horrible.  The questions she asked, the shade she threw at Dancing with the Stars, and she even said it was unfair advantage when contestants had a strong work ethic.  He came off really well and just laughed at some of her bizarre statements.  

This!!  He made her look ridiculous and small and petty.

I have to say I wish I could look as good in lemon yellow as she did the other day.  Such a pretty color but makes me look half dead.

I think she looks good as thin as she is but what I am noticing just hit me.  She had a mini face lift.  Notice the small indentation, when she talks, just above her jaw line.  That is the sign she had one and nothing wrong with that.  I am all for it.  It made her face much thinner and that is what I first noticed after having taken a break from her show for awhile. 

When did she have time to do that? I would think she would wait for summer hiatus for a mini face life. I think she just has a face full of fresh fillers.

I meant at some point, not necessarily when I posted it. 

[cinsays]

I dislike this woman intensely, but I do watch the first few minutes to see which news topics she focuses on and to see what she's wearing.  That wig today did not look good on her and she seemed uncomfortable in it, constantly playing with it.

Suzanne is looking very tired and stressed lately.

I would really like to know what her friends find to like in her.  Can they trust her to not talk trash about her behind their backs?  I sure wouldn't.

[SunnyBeBe]

I saw a clip of her from this week and man.....she doesn't look well to me.  I'm not sure if it's her size or something else.  Just not healthy looking to me.  Maybe, she isn't sleeping well. 

[chenoa333]

Am I the only one who notices how many times (ad nauseum) Wendy mentions:

how much she loves her gigantic implants, how much she loves being "skinny shamed"  because her body looks so good now. How she DOES NOT wear Spanx ( the flat tummy is all natural). Ok Wendy.....if you're so perfect please come on the show someday with no makep, no wig, no false eyelashes and no fishnet/mesh panthose/hose (whatever it is she's wearing to cover up her wrinkled, crepey thigh skin). We've seen the recent photos of you in a bathing suit with saggy, old skin so "we got the receipts". Or else, quit talking about how good you look. It takes a village to make you look "good" darling. So STFU.

All natural! She has mentioned many times that she had a tummy tuck after lil' Kev was born because she gained 100 lbs during pregnancy and her skin did not snap back. She also has said her scar is so hideous she had a tatoo put over it and she hates the tatoo.

Did WW sign a new contract that says she doesn't work Fridays?   Today's show was originally on Monday and she's off again next Friday with them rerunning the show from June 5, another Monday show.

Wendy was praising herself for coming in on Memorial Day.  She just didn't mention that she was taking Friday off.  So she was having a 4 day week like most of us.  I don't begrudge her for taking off, I just hate her always praising herself for things that aren't praise worthy.

[chenoa333]

I just checked out Wendy's charity website "the Hunter Foundation". I don't know who she hired to design that site but the very first paragraph they misspelled "fulfillment"! Lol.

Wendy goes on to explain one of the purposes of the foundation:

" So far, we’ve sent girls to sleepaway camp [the past two summers]. These are girls from impoverished situations where they would have never been able to horseback ride or sleep in a tent or be eaten by mosquitoes…

i wonder how much money was donated so these impoverished girls could experience getting eaten by mosquitos. Lol! How YOU doin' Wendy!

Aren't her Friday shows always pre-taped? Not necessarily re-runs as you mention here, but like she tapes two shows on Thursday or something?

That's what Wendy has said. Two tapings Thursday, Friday off.  When we do get the actual re-runs it's just rediculous becuase Hot Topics are old and stale then. They need to be fresh off the press! But this is Wendy. She doesn't seem to be on top of her game this season, nor does she seem to care. 

[KLovestoShop]

When I look at the lineup on Fios, it states that Wendy will have an hour of Hot Topics and a new edition of Trendy at Wendy tomorrow, Monday June 5.  When you skip to the Friday listing it says it's a repeat of Monday's show with Hot Topics and Trendy at Wendy.  

No one begrudges her vacation time.

Wendy once mentioned that when they don't film 2 shows on Thursday they show Monday's show on Friday because the Hot Topics are current. 

[chenoa333]

Here in southern California TMZ used to be on for 30 minutes preceding Wendy. Now there's a new show in place of TMZ called The Q. 

I don't understand how Wendy can do an hour of Hot Topics AND include a "Trendy Wendy" segment featuring "the hottest summer deals". That means there really ISN'T an hour of Hot Topics. I'll be watching! 

[rmcrae]

Funny that Wendy takes Anderson Cooper to task for "not being a true friend" by speaking out about Kathy Griffin's stunt when she dropped Charlemagne for no reason after she left radio to do her talk show. Wasn't even mature enough to tell him to his face why she was through with him when he saw her at a club so she had Big Kev do it for her. Mmm hmm...

Were Kathy Griffin and Anderson friends or work friends? There is a difference. Even if they were friends, CNN is his livelihood, it was expected of him to denounce her indefensible act.  Wendy is a hypocrite and I thought about Charlemagne that she screwed over and I also think about the guy that was there before him that left her radio show under suspicious circumstances as well.

I watched Anderson's short-lived talk show off and on and remember seeing Kathy there a few times and they talked about hanging out together outside of work. *shrugs* I didn't find anything wrong with his statement either. He spoke the truth about how what she did was disgusting and inappropriate, but he didn't make any personal insults or judgments about her as a person. Tell me more about the guy pre-Charlemagne who left under suspicious circumstances. *grabs her tea cup*

[LIMOM]

Finally, Wendy dropped some real tea re Kathy Griffin.

When she addressed the Tv and said that the suits won't let her have Kathy on. I believed W.

The press conference was a mistake, imo. But Kathy is being blacklisted.

Wendy was right also when she said there are no such things as show business friends. 

She did Charla dirty and she knows it. And he was on air talent. God only knows how she treats the inline staff.

Agreed that she made a mistake however how about the photographer/artist who came up with the concept.

The problem with Kathy much like Wendy btw is that she  built her career making fun of other celebs.

It is pay back time, imo.

I really like watching Wendy, but the one thing that drives me nuts is her very loud, very often throat clearing without so much as an "excuse me" or "pardon me".  Now, before anyone gets upset about my comment, I will tell you I have very bad allergies and asthma for which I take 5 meds, and I don't loudly clear my throat every few minutes.  Someone needs to tell Wendy that maybe she needs to see a specialist rather than dropping a Smith Bros in a cup of tea.  It can't be comfortable for her to have so much phlegm.

During Kathy's press conference, she seemed shaken up when someone asked her about Anderson. Perhaps, he kept his distance for a while and he may have reached out to her behind the scenes. 

They guy before Charlemagne was a man who seemed to be very cool with Wendy on her show. He was her right hand man, when she came back to the New York radio scene after she was ran out and put out to pasture for a couple of years.   One big Kev became very dominant in his dealings with the show, he left very abruptly. It was very odd and Wendy never spoke about him. It was like he never existed.

You're right about that. In all the discussion and coverage of the story I've heard little about the photog or the outrage against him.

Like the saying goes, what goes around, comes around.

Thanks for the info, Apprentice. I didn't know Ms. Wendy pulled a "Talk" move and dismissed a former employee with nary a mention of their existence. SMH.

I think they made it seem like his leaving was what he wanted, but, I got the sense that they pulled a view move. The host is fired, but, the host pretends that she is leaving on her own. Remember when Star went off script at the view and said that her contract was not being renewed by ABC, instead of saying that she was leaving on her own.  Barbara Walters was fit to be tied and Starr Jones was persona non grata over there for many years.  lMAO.   My esteem for Star rose exponentially for defying the Great Barbara Walters.   The shenanigans that go on behind the scenes of these shows are so much interesting than the shows themselves.

Yep. Definitely remember that and how different the mood was they came back after Star's announcement. I didn't blame Star for telling the truth either. It would've been false to go along with a farewell like the one they gave Meredith since Star wasn't leaving on her own. And no matter how BW/ABC wanted to spin it, not having your contract renewed is the same as being fired.

[Keepitmoving]

Wendy Williams is a nasty person. She's not a nice person at her core at all. The way she spoke down to Suzanne, I think she called her ignorant, that was way out of line. The audience got quiet too. She also said some shit about Bill Maher liking "greasy" black women, not women like Michelle Obama. WTF does that mean? Yeah, I think I know what she means, but that's not the point. The point is, there she goes again acting like her shit don't stink and really thinking she's better than. And which black woman are your Wendy? You do remember your ass is black right? 

Look, I watch sometimes just up until hot topics are off because I really can't take her. I think she and her husband are two thugs, they do not have any class and they do not treat their employees with respect. She really thinks she's better than them and the members of her audience too. She's said some shit to her audience a time or two that makes me think she looks down on them too.

Yes and what's worse is she was chastising Susanne for laughing when she was the one who was basically criticizing a victim of domestic violence. I heard  her ass, when she implied that the girl who was messing with whatever the hell his name is, the guy who might have killed Bobbi Kristina...but she implied that the victim subjected herself to  a relationship with this sick man just so she could get on hot topics. Yet she thinks she's in a position to chastise Suzanne for her reaction, please. She sure as hell wasn't taking the story seriously if all she could do was try to make a case that a woman got her ass kicked by a man just so she could get on Wendy's hot topics segment. Again, Wendy is disgusting.

[bichonblitz]

Wendy would be better off not  engaging Suzanne and Norman in her Hot Topics if all she's going to do is make them extremely uncomfortable. Carry the segment yourself, Wendy. We don't need to hear/see you treating your staff like shit. 

[rcc]

I think Suzanne has to decide for herself if working with Wendy is worth the aggravation. Money isn't everything Suzanne!

I doubt Wendy treats Brian the same way. He could deal with her and Suzanne should move on. There has to be a better job out there for her.

Wendy is a hateful, selfish human being. She was raised by professional people in NJ. She went to BU. I have to think the Kevin factor has ruined what should have been a better woman than how she turned out.

[DrivingSideways]

Well, well, well... I've often suspected Wendy reads the boards here (Hi, Wendy!) but 4 minutes into today's show she's apologizing to Suzanne and wiping away the tears.

Wendy, bring back the white guy who used to stand beside Norman.  He was cute!

[Morgalisa]

Suzanne looks so terribly sad and hurt. After the way Wendy spoke to her yesterday, Wendy owes all of us an apology as well. Run Suzanne run.

Aaaaaand Wendy is lecturing the audience again for tittering at something 'inappropriate'.  Wendy, you're not Oprah.  If you talk about something, we assume you're coming with the humor.  I've always thought her 'coke addiction' story was mostly bullshit anyway.

[rcc]

"Wendy, you're not Oprah." That's for damn sure.

Wendy can cry and carry on all she wants. She is a miserable human being and what's done is done.

[Fishy]

Can someone recap what happened between Wendy and Suzanne for me??  I missed it.  If the monologue is on tape somewhere and someone can direct me to it, I'll look it up.  I only saw some exchange of tissues yesterday between the two but didn't know what that was all about.  And today, I don't think Suzanne was there.

Didn't care for her making fun of the white guy with the blue shirt in the audience.   Wendy is a self-absorbed bitch.

Unfortunately, I can't find a longer clip because she goes on to imply that the victim got hooked up with this jerk just so she could get on hot topics and concludes by saying congrats to the victim, you made it on hot topics. Again, she's disgusting, yet wants to talk to Susanne and humiliate her in front of other grown ups like she's some kid. Tired of Wendy's shit, she is clearly way beyond being too full of herself, way beyond. She needs to be seriously humbled.

 

Here's the clip:

That clip doesn't show all of what went down. Wendy berating Suzanne went on until Suzanne was so humiliated it looked like she was going to cry. Even though Wendy apologized the next day to Suzanne, she was back at again today. Criticizing the audience for laughing at something she thought was serious. She is not fun to watch anymore. 

[Maharincess]

So, the audience is only supposed to laugh at things that Wendy finds funny?  I guess "say it like you mean it" only applies if you agree with Wendy.

She can't carry the show on her own.  She often seem confused or suffering from a memory lapse.  On the show with the Tupac actor, she didn't even remember that Karuchee Tran was Chris Brown's ex.  Even I know that.   She needs the special segment guests who feed her a little gossip and she makes faces.  

Btw, I hate the way her lips look since the last mini face lift.

There is a level of nastiness with  Wendy.  It is really off-putting. Is Big Kev cheating again or sexually  harassing interns like he used to do during the radio days? is that why  Wendy is being a raving bitch? Inquiring minds want to know. 

[TheGreenKnight]

This kind of thing is why I stopped watching her. I'm kind of glad this happened with Suzanne just because it might stop Wendy's digs at her from happening anymore in the future or at least much less. She knows people will be watching for any sign of bitchiness towards Suzanne now.

[cinsays]

OK, I missed what was said, but it looked like she said something unkind to the blonde gal in the audience with a striped outfit at the end just before her eye candy selection.  The woman's reaction seemed embarrassed and hurt.  Or am I just imagining this woman is being her usual tactless and rude mess?

I watched this show for the first time in a long while and it was terrible. There were long pauses during Hot Topic that seemed like Wendy Completely lost track of what she was talking about. She came off as  completely unprepared...girl was just winging it and that's bullshit. 

There are plenty of gossipy women who I would rather watch. Ones who wouldn't be taking the gift of their own television show for granted. Phoning it in = cancelled.

[LIMOM]

I have two theories:

-one she is back on crack and/or has early onset Alzheimer

 Or two, one of her Kevin is seriously acting up.

She made a casual comment about her future husband and driving alone....

I think not all is well with the Hunters.

SUzanne and Norman look so uncomfortable, it is cringe worthy, imo.

And nobody is skinny shaming her like she said, she looks ill, Imo.

I wasn't paying attention but I know I heard her ask someone if they were "flashing" (having hot flashes) and felt so bad for whoever she said that to. Not sure if it was that audience member she was asking but regardless, Wendy is a bitch.

What the hell was wrong with Wendy? Was she high? She acted like it and looked like it.  I'm serious. She looked  like she was seriously medicated, her eyes looked strange and she was rambling and pausing in the oddest way.

Wendy is in desperate need of a verbal beat down like the ones Omarosa and Adam Carolla gave her some years back. I've seen her be bitchy with Suzanne (and Norman) many a show, but that "ignorant" comment was the worst and she had the nerve to dab at her eyes with a Q-tip like Suzanne had insulted her the next day. No, Wig. You were crying because of the comments on your social media page that checked you and told you about yourself. I wish Suzanne had reminded Wendy of her laughing like a fool ("nervous laughter", my ass) at the video of the seal grabbing that little girl the other week.

It doesn't matter how rich or thin she gets. That woman will never be happy. SMH.

 I thought the pauses were from her acting lessons. She really believes that she can act now and she makes what I agree are funny faces to try and punctuate stories that have a little content.   Wendy really does believe she's become an actress. I believe that the producers have recommended that she do more reaction shots to pump up weak segments and cover the lack of content. The passes are so long they really do take up extra time so that Wendy doesn't have to actually convey as much content.  Basically the pauses take up time.

 I have considered that a return to drugs enabled her to get to the "strange" skinny that she is now and that not it not just the result a vegan diet. The juries out on that.  I have been assuming that there are some early signs of dementia or Alzheimer's which are pretty similar. The funny part is she called her memory losses "being a little bit grandma" but I don't think she realizes that the memory lapses are really quite significant compared to other healthy people her age. Especially because it's her area of so called expertise.   She was almost proud that she didn't know current singers or current songs. Now I don't know them because I don't like that kind of music but I was never employed as a DJ and I am not giving concerts or promoting concerts the way Wendi is now doing in New York.

Wendy looked and acted medicated today.

 All I saw of Suzanne on camera was her arm.  I wonder whose decision it was for her not to be on camera.

Wendy's arms and thighs are scary skinny. She has no muscle tone at all. Just skin and bones.

Something is not right with her. Hope its not her son. Dont care about her husband.

The show was exhausting to watch.

Maybe Reg will get her straightened out.
