Wendy Williams, who has been dealing with primary progressive aphasia and dementia, has spoken out about the entire Diddy debacle.

The iconic media mogul recently spoke with Daily Mail, where she gave her take on the disgraced music star following his arrest in New York City last month. She also reacted to the hotel surveillance footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie.

“What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people ‘Wendy, you called it,’ including some people from my family who have said the same,” she said. Speaking of the Cassie assault, she added, “You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled… it was just horrific. But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”

Wendy has been very vocal about the Bad Boy CEO throughout the course of her career as a radio and TV personality. The 60-year-old has also been very adamant about his sexuality in the past, claiming him to be gay. Earlier this year, Charlamagne recalled Wendy allegedly being fired from Hot 97 in 1998 for making the aforementioned claims.

Wendy’s whole thing was Diddy was gay,” he said on Andrew Schulz’ Flagrant podcast. “That’s why Wendy got fired from Hot 97. Wendy got fired from Hot 97 by Diddy ’cause that’s when Bad Boy was smoking hot. She got fired for putting that out there.”

Diddy’s former security guard, Gene Deal, also spoke on the allegations in 2022 with The Art Of Dialogue.

“The power [Diddy] had with the radio stations in New York, motherf**kers didn’t breathe hard if [Diddy] didn’t want them to,” he said. “[Diddy] got one of the hottest DJs off Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down. [Diddy] told Hot 97 if they didn’t get rid of her before he got back in New York, that they was not going to get any music from any of his friends, any of the record labels executives that was cool with him. Everyone was going to boycott their station.”

Although Wendy has been out of the spotlight for sometime, she clearly still keeps her ears to the streets. As for Diddy, the father-of-seven currently remains incarcerated in Brooklyn without bail on sex trafficking and RICO charges.
