Wendy Williams Said 'It's About Time' Diddy Was Punished
There's a sense of vindication for Wendy Williams, but she also fears what's to come. She told Daily Mail that there could be countless other victims of the mogul who have yet to be heard. "But now you have to think, how many more times," she said. "How many people. How many more women. It’s just so horrible." The former talk show host questioned Diddy's behind the scenes antics on multiple occasions. The two even had a tense back and forth when Diddy appeared on her show in 2017.
Diddy went on The Wendy Williams Show to promote a documentary, and he startled the host when he claimed to have met her son backstage. The interview went viral in light of the recent allegations against Diddy. Many believed the Bad Boy founder was threatening the host and the safety of her son. Of course, Williams' son is fine, and Diddy is awaiting trial behind bars. Williams' son actually accompanied her on a recent New Jersey trip in August. The trip was notable for marking the first public sighting of Williams in over a year.
