Wendy Williams’ longest-running fan page on Instagram, @wendysteam, has announced it will be taking an indefinite hiatus after the embattled talk show host’s recent string of controversies.
On Tuesday, the page, which has over 30K followers, posted a photo of Williams along with the caption,“We love you Wendy, but we will be taking a break from this page.”
Last week, Williams drew criticism when she said gay men shouldn’t wear skirts and that anyone who doesn’t menstruate will “never be the women that we are.” Afterwards, she issued a teary-eyed apology promising to “do better.”
Her efforts were short-lived, however, because on Monday she made a truly vile joke about the death of celebrity therapist Dr. Amie Harwick, who was likely pushed off her balcony by a stalker ex-boyfriend. Williams has not apologized for joke, despite Harwick’s grieving brother publicly asking her to.
@wendysteam’s post has received almost 950 likes and 180 comments.
“Thank you,” one person wrote. “Amie was a good friend of mine. I have spent two days bawling. Her life wasn’t a joke or a punchline.”
“I am taking a break from Wendy period,” another said. “I have watched her from the beginning but I just cannot support her comments any longer.”
The fan page shuttering comes after the hashtags #CancelWendyWilliams and #FireWendyWilliams began trending on Twitter earlier this week and multiple online petitions calling for Williams to have her show yanked started circulating.
Neither Williams nor FoxTV have issued any comment on the controversy.

This woman is horrible. Evil.

she reminds me of the troll on here called PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS. Nasty and stupid.

Yet the network still keeps her when they fire others over a silly tweet.

It’s a little unnerving to see the picture of her right before she collapsed.

Actually, that fake incident is legendarily campy.

Wendy Williams is just being herself, the same, catty, bitchy, gossip she’s always been. Oh the horror of it all, she said something that offended your tender sensibilities. You pearl clutching queens need to chill your tits.

AMEN.

Evji108…you are missing a soul.

Exactly…she’s being the same catty bitch she’s been for years….that’s why I stopped watching her show years ago. I don’t need to invite unnecessary bitchiness into my life; I get enough of that crap at work.

Celebrity worship is moronic, especially when it’s this celebrity.
ScottOnEarth
And especially since she’s barely a “celebrity.”

I just want to thank whoever posted that hilarious picture from Wendy’s fake-faint. That was ridiculous! I think she has recently lost her mind and alienated far too many viewers and fans. I will never watch her show again after her anti-gay/trans comments and her hideous “joke” about Dr. Amie Harwick’s death. Wendy has lost all sense of humanity and decency in favor of some attention.

Why is she still relevant?

Wendy Williams is a drug-addled POS.

They’re twisting what she said. I saw the show. Don’t believe a 100th party rendition. She was talking about some fake (which some women who don’t want to hang with their hetero male partners), holiday. It’s all women! Wendy said, “You MUST be 100% female, not Billy Porter in a dress. You have to menstruate (sorry). I agree (fake holiday). Girlfriends (even lesbians) too. She loves queers & the sista’s that don’t like her gossip, shame on them. Donald Trump wannabe.

you’d better go to YouTube, watch and listen again. if you like her, you like her, but don’t try to clean up her mess when it’s just too messy to get clean.

Everything about this bitch is fake…her hair, her boobs, her loving family…..and this gorilla is just awful. Bye runt. R=C new math.

Listen to Andy Cohen interview her on Deep & Shallow. She is suffering from some odd issues. Forming sentences was hopeless. Repeating the same story was incessant. Her blame-y obsession was tragic. She needs some good heath care and get outta the limelight OR become one of Howard Stern’s Rat Pack croud of loonies. She’s fit right in.

She was hired for bring what she is with the public she attracts. Stop it

This woman is an abomination to tv. She talks and puts down everybody even people her own age, Madonna. I can’t stand vicious evil people like her. She has a very bad life, no husband. She looks like a man in a dress. Maybe I should say that since she talks about everyone else. Honey until you are little Miss Perfect maybe you should shut your mouth. Your 15 minutes of fame are way gone. Bye Felicia!

I think she’s having a bit of a breakdown.

I have a hard time believing that huge mannish-looking queen has her OWN menstrual-period…must be dripping chicken-blood on the undies every 28 days, sister…and as every BORN female knows, women who still bleed are fukkin’ JEALOUS of those who don’t; whether it’s menopause or hysterectomy, that nuisance is finally over and the tampon fund is now beer money, lol…let’s take Windbag Williams’ rant a bit farther; to prove ‘real womanhood’, every would-be female must give birth in front of a live audience or be legally designated as a wanna-be…ridiculous, right??? And I still think that she ordered HER kids on Amazon.com/Thailand, lol…because Dude Looks Like a Lady….all damn day long….:)
