Throwing Shade

Wendy went after Lizzo when videos of the “Truth Hurts” singer attending the L.A. Lakers game in a butt-revealing dress went viral. “That’s not a dress that she pulled up, that’s a dress that had the cutout going on, which means she was sitting booty down on the seat, booty down in the car, she was walking booty exposed into the theater,” Wendy said of her look. Wendy also said her outfit was inappropriate. “Games are like a family affair and everyone doesn’t want to see all that.”

What She Thinks Went Down

Of course, Wendy had to jump into the conversation when it came to the Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel PDA scandal. Following Justin’s delayed public apology, she took to The Wendy Williams Show to share what she thinks is going on in their home. “I forgot all about you and Jessica Biel and your costar and the whole bit, you know, until now you’re publicly apologizing. It must be hell at home, honey. She probably grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and said, ‘You better get out there and say something.’”

Stopping the Rumor Mill

Although Wendy touches on the lives of celebs more than her own, sometimes she just has to speak her truth. Following rumors that she was seeing Whitney Houston‘s former lover Robyn Crawford, Wendy had to put a stop to the gossip. “I am no lesbian. I like women for friendship,” she said on her show back in November. “I like men and I like the D.”

She Doesn’t Hold Back

After Ellen DeGeneres beat Wendy at the People’s Choice Awards for Best Daytime Talk Show, the shade queen gave an eye-roll to the comedienne. “Congratulations, Ellen, you won again,” she said with much sarcasm. “She’s the people’s choice. … All right.”

Stirring the Pot

Back in November, Wendy discussed Nicki Minaj and her man Kenneth Petty who has a troublesome past. “Now, he served seven years in prison and he’s also a sex offender,” Wendy said of his criminal record. “So that means that he — is a manslaughter a killer? Okay, so he’s a killer and a sex offender. Well Nicki, congratulations,” she said with sarcasm. Nicki was furious over Wendy’s comments and shared her grievances on the radio.

She’s Not Buying It

Wendy admitted she isn’t feeling Meghan Markle. Following the release of the royal ITV documentary, she said she found it hard to believe Meg “didn’t get” what royal life would be like. “Yes, you did. You knew exactly what you were doing,” Wendy said after viewing the clip. “And I applaud her plot-ation on the royal situation. But please, don’t try to garner sympathy from us. You knew what you were doing.”

Sharing Her Theory

Back in September, Wendy stirred the pot when she accused Christie Brinkley of faking her Dancing With the Stars injury in order to help her daughter’s career. “Well, that looked fake as hell! OK?” Wendy said of a video clip of Christie’s dance floor fall. “Although Christie, I must tell you, there wasn’t a believing person in my entire meeting this morning,” Wendy continued. “When I presented my case, everyone was like, ‘Uh-huh. Mmmhmm.’”

Give Out Parenting Advice

Following Brad Pitt‘s alleged feud with son Maddox, Wendy offered her opinion on how the actor should mend things with him. “But Brad can fly to Korea and squat outside the dorm, I mean, there are things that parents can do, particularly if you have endless amounts of money. If you really want to reconnect with this boy, then leave Angelina [Jolie] out of it, and you go over there, and basically, you stalk him in the name of love.”

Not Even the Audience Is Safe!

Celebs aren’t the only ones who can push Wendy’s buttons. The beauty lost it when she heard the familiar sounds of a cell phone coming from her live audience. “Get out! Get out! Turn that phone off now, sir. Ma’am. Whoever you are,” Wendy yelled from her purple chair. She acknowledged she might have been a little hard. “Just, please. Kindly, the tickets are free, but when you come here you must turn your phones off,” she added. “I was being overdramatic but kindly please turn your phone off. Thank you.”

OR Beyonce AND Fergie?!

How could anyone shade Fergie AND Beyoncé?! It all began when Wendy was critical of Fergie’s version of the National Anthem back in 2018. While sharing her distaste for her performance, Wendy threw Queen Bey in the mix. “There are only a few people who can sing raw dog and Fergie is not one, she needs auto-tune,” said Wendy. “Jennifer Lopez needs auto-tune, Janet [Jackson] needs auto-tune, Beyoncé needs auto-tune.”
