Wendy Williams has now spoken out following Diddy’s sex trafficking investigation.
The former TV presenter was not surprised to hear about the investigation into the rapper and now feels vindicated in her feelings towards him.
“What’s really strange is that a lot of people have said to me ‘Wendy you called it,’ including some of my family who said the same thing,” she told The New York Times. Daily mail.
She also shared her thoughts on the violent video of Diddy assaulting his now ex-girlfriend, Cassie.
“You know how I feel about that? It’s time to see this video on my TV [Cassie] being beaten… that was terrible. But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women are there? It’s terrible,” Williams added.
Previously, Williams questioned Diddy’s behavior in a 2015 resurfaced clip from her TV show. In it, she is discussing Cassie and Diddy’s breakup.
“You know, my concern about dating a tycoon is that it’s very difficult to avoid them, because if you use your head, you never know when they’re going to show up,” Williams said.
She added: “Knowing someone could actually jump on me in the middle of nothing would scare me! It will be like that, it will be like that.”
Williams and Diddy have been related for some time and she even accused the rapper of trying to fire her from her job at Hot97 in 1998.
“The hell he put me through. I’ll never forget. But I don’t hate him,” Williams wrote in his book Wendy Williams’ Experience through Page Six. She even added that he “single-handedly tried to ruin her career”.
Charlamagne Tha God bolstered Williams’ account by saying she was fired for suggesting Diddy was gay.
“Wendy’s whole problem is that Diddy is gay. That’s why Wendy was fired from Hot97. Wendy was fired from Hot97 by Diddy because that was when Bad Boy was smoking hot and she was fired because put that out there,” he said during a podcast appearance.
Charlamagne spoke about Diddy’s alleged sexual relationship with actor Reginald VelJohnson, who played Carl Winslow on “Family Matters,” and confirmed that Diddy got Wendy Williams fired from Hot 97 in 1998 for giving that he is gay.
