Talk show host, Wendy Williams, long ago became the woman you either love or hate, or love to hate, or sometimes love but oftentimes hate. Which ever side of the fence you fall on regarding Wendy, you probably cannot deny that she has always been one to speak her mind, no matter how much controversy she causes. In fact, controversy is what she’s thrived off of since her New York radio show was poppin’ in the 90’s.
This go ’round of her controversial statements took aim at R. Kelly, the #MeToo movement, Aaliyah, the other young women R. Kelly associates with and their parents.
Wendy Speaks On The R.Kelly Protest
During a recent airing of The Wendy Williams Show, Wendy first started with R. Kelly and the recent #MuteRKelly concert protests two Atlanta women have sparked in order to end Kellz’s career. Here’s what Wendy said about it:
“It’s not going to work. Black people aren’t really good at protesting, not since the King march. […] See, there’s so many people that are like ‘He didn’t do it.'”
Williams Slams R.Kelly Calls Him “Sick”
She then vented about her dislike for Kelly, while simultaneously explaining why she feels that Kelly should not be included in the current sexual harassment #MeToo movement. Wendy used Aaliyah, as well as R. Kelly’s 2002 alleged sex tape scandal to explain her point:
“The #MeToo movement hasn’t affected R. Kelly, he wasn’t a ‘MeToo.’ Aaliyah voluntarily married R. Kelly when she was 15 years old and her parents voluntarily let her do it, when she was 15 years old.
And that little girl that I saw from my own eyeballs, that he urinated on and had his way with, was there at his house, she let it go down. […] When the tape came out, I was poppin’ on the radio, they rushed that tape to New York. […] Oh I saw it alright. I will never ‘step in the name of love.'”
Williams continued onto the topic of the recent allegations that R. Kelly was holding young women as ‘sex slaves at his home:
“Where are THEIR parents? Allegedly the parents are complaining, but where are their parents? This has nothing to do with the #MeToo movement. R. Kelly is just a very, very sick man.”
Why She’s Tired Of #MeToo Movement
Around the 15:30 mark Wendy then slammed the #MeToo movement even more, because she’s ‘sick of it’ and thinks it’s now being used frivolously by some, not all, accusers:
“I’m sick of this #MeToo movement. … I love that people are speaking up for the first time and coming out and everything. But….now…I look at all men like ‘You’re a #MeToo’…all of ’em, which is not fair.”
The audience briefly went silent after, her #MeToo statement and then Wendy somewhat awkwardly switched topics. Check out her full video clip below…
