TV writer Omarosa shared a few thoughts about media personality Wendy Williams, who recently made headlines for various reasons. In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Omarosa said that despite her feud with Williams in the past, she wants her to get out of the mandatory guardianship.

When the reporter asked about what she thought about Wendy’s present situation, Omarosa said:

“Free Wendy. This conservatorship needs to end and I pray that she is able to get from under that and be able to make decisions for herself. Enough is enough.”

Wendy is placed in a facility in New York. The beef between them goes back to 2008 during The Wendy Williams Show, where Williams called Omarosa an angry woman of color after the latter accused her of being disrespectful.

Omarosa said Williams was fake and that she got a nose job. According to TMZ, Williams responded:

“They say black don't crack. She's cracking.”

Besides Omarosa, Williams also had past feuds with others. For instance, in 2013, Chris Brown lashed out on Twitter (now X) after Perez Hilton appeared on Wendy’s show and made some remarks about him. Hilton had mentioned beforehand that he hoped Brown wouldn’t watch the show.

In response, Brown fired back online, mocking both Hilton and Williams. Later, Wendy Williams also expressed concern over Brown's reported substance abuse issues on her show.

Meanwhile, Williams had a severe fallout with Diddy after she insisted on him being queer. According to BET, Diddy reportedly used his influence to have executives remove her from the radio for a period of time.


Looking back at some of the other feuds of Wendy Williams

Wendy Williams upset Beyoncé’s fans when she doubted the Crazy in Love singer’s pregnancy and accused her of trying to manipulate the media. She also mocked the singer’s speaking style, suggesting viewers would need subtitles to understand her. She reportedly criticized Beyoncé’s fan base, calling them overly obsessed.

She also received backlash from Ariana Grande’s fans after saying the singer looked too young and didn’t appear like a grown woman. Many accused her of body shaming, and the hashtag #CancelWendyWilliamsShow began trending online. However, Wendy shrugged it off, claiming her loyal audience outweighed the critics.

Kim Zolciak fired back after Wendy Williams implied she faked a mini-stroke to gain sympathy votes on Dancing With the Stars. Kim posted a screenshot of a show invite and accused Wendy of being bitter because she didn’t agree to appear.

On the other hand, Will Smith called her out in his song Mr. Nice Guy, where he criticized her for discussing his personal life on her show. He joked about buying her radio station to fire her.

Back in May 2014, Wendy Williams talked about Master P’s relationship with his wife and kids on her show. The rapper was disappointed and felt betrayed, saying he thought Wendy was a friend.

He believed she should have reached out to him directly instead of repeating what was being reported online. However, by July of that same year, the two made amends when Master P appeared on her show and joined her.
