Warning: The video below may be hard to watch…
Host 2: “Now welcome to the show, the amazingly beautiful and talented Willam Belly.”
Host 1: “Hey sweetie.”
Host 1: “How’s it going?”
Willam: “Um, I good. My name’s Willam Belli though.”
Host 2: “Uh, you broke up, say that again.”
Willam: “My name is Willam Belli, not Belly.” *smirk*
Hosts: “Belli!” *Awkward Laughter*
Willam was not amused…
Interview Rule #1: Know your subject’s name.
And so begins Willam’s extremely awkward interview with ‘Transition Radio TV’…

It takes two minutes before it even starts? Really? The pretentious opening was enough to make me roll my eyes out my head, and I couldn’t bear to watch another minute.

oh, Willam, come off it. You get off mostly from making people laugh? Consider this interview an “epic fail hashtag.” A true professional does not punish one’s hosts for slightly mispronouncing a last name (hey, they remembered not to put the extra i in, isn’t that more important to a performer primarily known solely by his first name?), in other words, most people know you as Willam period. The interviewers were clearly lacking in charisma, but instead of filling in the void with some of your own, you filled it with pissy hostility and anger. Remember what the very wise Bianca del Rio said about playing nasty and staying nasty off stage? Look into that and apply it or else your fans and public will soon tire of your hyper-sensitive mean streak. You’re above that, at least I thought you were. Good luck, boo, hope no one else mangles your damn last name. I mean, quelle horreur! And what you said about lesbians being more of an “irritant” to the straight world than gay men? Not even a little bit. Knocking your hosts for being too “serious?” Well, you set the flatline tone, queen, from your defensive initial reaction their “Belli” fail and throughout. Willam, the success of your career depends on how your fans perceive you, and these days, this fan is not perceiving you in a very positive light. Know why? Your anger and impatience too often eclipse your natural charisma and wicked humor lately. And not for nothin, it’s cool if you and your husband, Bruce, have an open relationship, but hearing about how devoted you are to him while simultaneously hearing you go on about your latest sloppy hook up is a total turn off. Maybe I’m just a middle aged trans bitch, but, yeah, its not cute.
