Wendy Williams is officially off the market! The television personality shared the news on Instagram, Friday, June 12.

Williams posted a shot of the mystery man’s arm gripping something under white tulle. While there are little to no details indicating who the guy is, the veiny fist and hairy arm all but confirms it is a man. 

The Wendy Williams Show host captioned the post, “After lunch a drive around the city with old school music on low! I’m loving today because all my good times are happening before dark. How are you spending Friday?”

In another IG post right before this one, Wendy alluded to said mystery man again, writing: “He makes me laugh, pays for lunch & we have good times in our city! Happy Friday!”

Fans of the controversial TV host were happy for the star and left encouraging comments like: 

“Awww Wendy so happy that you’re happy”

“How u booin”

“Yesss Wendy!!!”

“Wendy I see you into white meat…”

“U drivin people crazy! I luv it”

While some fans were happy for the talk show host, others were confused by the image and doubtful that she had a new boo: 

“What is this in the picture i can’t figure it out ???” 

“Man hand on her leg…except she’s wearing mosquito netting lmao wthk”

“What am I looking at???”

“That ain’t nobody but Boof” 

The 55-year-old has had a tough two years, filing for divorce from her allegedly abusive and cheating husband of 21 years Kevin Hunter back in April of 2019. The divorce was finalized in January of this year. We’re happy Wendy’s found love again. 

Any ideas as to who her new beau could be? Sound off in the comments.

Wendy Williams thanked her new superfan, fellow television host John Oliver, for giving her a loving shoutout on his show with an odd array of gifts: Doritos, car, and a self-portrait of her eating lamb chops. Last week, the political commentator praised Wendy’s at-home edition of her talk show on an episode of his HBO comedy series, Last Week Tonight.

“Wendy Williams has ascended to a level of f*cks not given that no human has ever achieved before,” he declared. “I’ll be honest, I was never a regular viewer of The Wendy Williams Show but I’ve become a big fan of Wendy At Home. It’s an oasis of truth in a world full of lies. It’s a real pickle on top of a fake hamburger, if you will.” Wendy appreciated the shoutout so much, that she invited him to be a virtual guest on her show on Tuesday (April 29th), where it was revealed that she had sent him some strange “thank you” gifts.

John put the painting of Wendy, in which it looks like she’s “about to go to town on a lamb chop” as he phrased it, on display during their video chat. Along with the portrait, he also received some Doritos and car, a combo he’s hesitant to try. “I don’t like either of these foods separately, so I’m not sure how I will like them together,” he admitted before sampling the dish. “Wow, it’s a lot.” he said after the first bite.  “It’s not just one flavour, Wendy, it’s almost all of the flavour.” Watch the full unexpected interaction below:

One of Flavor Flav’s baby mothers, Kate Gammell, fired back at Wendy Williams‘ accusations that the Flavor Flav merch she’s been selling to help take care of their son is not authentic. Earlier this week, Kate, who is the mother of Flav’s nine-month-old baby, Jordan, announced that she’ll be selling T-shirts, hats, and various other items with Flav’s name on them in order to cover the cost of her son’s “everyday needs” since she is “not getting any child support.” Kate filed a paternity lawsuit against Flav back in October and had a DNA test to determine if he was in fact Jordan’s father, which came back positive. However, since Flav hasn’t been supporting her financially, she decided to sell his merch that she acquired back when she was his manager.

Wendy Williams addressed the situation on her at-home edition of The Wendy Williams Show on Thursday (April 9th). Wendy asserted that the merchandise was not authentic and claimed that Kate was “taking advantage of someone who was less smart at the time.” 

Kate proceeded to call out Wendy on Instagram for lying about her on her show. She disputed Wendy’s remarks and explained why she’s selling the merch at a discounted rate and where all the proceeds will be going.

“@wendyshow, on today’s show you brought up that the Flavor Flav merchandise I am selling is not authentic,” Kate wrote. “I have no idea where you came up with this. Flavor was very much involved in the choice of the colors and designs. See the above screenshot posts from @flavorflavoffical where he is promoting the merchandise. The merch was produced and is now being sold under a licensing agreement between Flavor and me. Under the agreement, he is to receive a percentage of sales, but because he owes me money, to reduce his debt to me, I am withholding his share which will go to Jordan with a percentage to Children’s Hospital.”

“I am selling the merch at a reduced price because of the country’s current crisis and many people are out of work,” she continued. “Another reason is that I need to recoup some of my costs for Jordan’s care since I am not receiving child support. I will not even break even for the money I put into his merch as some of the hoodies cost almost $30 wholesale. I just hope now that your comments do not sabotage my efforts to provide for my son and give to Children’s Hospital.”

“Also, regarding Jordan, @wendyshow you said I took advantage of Flavor ‘who was less than smart at the time.’ Where on earth did you come up with that?” she asked. “Flavor is very aware of everything he does. Anyone that knows Flavor and me would find this to be absurd. You should have mentioned, as @hiphopdx reported, that Flavor owes me $50,000, which he refuses to pay and that he is fighting having to pay child support. So, who is taking advantage of who? So, @wendyshow, I am just trying to provide for my son where his father refuses to step up to the plate.”

Wendy Williams seems to think Common is bad news for any prospective love interests, including his rumoured girlfriend, Tiffany Haddish. The controversial daytime talk show host has returned to broadcasting The Wendy Williams Show from home, and she’s making sure to keep up with her Hot Topics segment. On Wednesday’s episode of “Wendy @ Home,” the host delved into Tiffany Haddish and Common’s rumoured relationship. The two of them appear to be quarantining together after he was seen on her Instagram live with Cedric the Entertainer this week. While Tiffany’s denied any romantic affiliation in the past, claiming the two are just “friends,” speculation has been rising, so it was only right that Wendy addressed these rumours during Hot Topics.

“I like Tiffany Haddish and Common, only because she’s been lusting after him for so long,” Wendy said. “So it appears that they might be quarantining together.” She goes on to explain how the public “found out” that the two of them might be isolating together, noting that it doesn’t necessarily proved that they’re dating. “Maybe she’s working on music [with him],” Wendy pondered. “She’s into that music thing. She’s gonna put out a new single and all like that.” However, Wendy herself believes that something more than friendship is going on. “Are they quarantined together? I believe, yes,” she said. “You know, she talked real girl-talk about what she’d do to him. So I guess it’s going down.”

However, Wendy goes on to issue a warning to Tiffany about Common, telling her not to get too attached because of his unfavourable romantic history. “Tiffany, the thing is, don’t fall too hard in love,” she declared. “Common is not good with women. That’s all I’m saying. He keeps you, until he’s done with you.” Wendy proceeds to go through Common’s past relationships, before deciding that he’s simply bad news.

Wendy Williams announced that her daytime talk show will resume filming soon, but will instead be taped from her home rather than the studio due to social distancing measures implemented as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. As the spread of COVID-19 has caused productions all across the United States to shut down, many talk show hosts have taken to shooting their programs from the comfort of their own homes, in an effort to continue practicing social distancing while keeping up appearances. Initially, prior to the escalation of the pandemic, talk shows were taping without studio audiences, including The Wendy Williams Show. However, after admitting that she was willing to “risk it” in order to continue filming in the studio, Wendy’s show was postponed indefinitely last month. Now, Wendy has shared that she will resume filming her show from home in New York City.

“I may not be in my purple chair,” Wendy said in a statement, “and it may not look the same, but I’m very excited to get back to my Wendy Watchers…there’s so much uncertainty in all of our worlds right now and we need each other!” New episodes will begin airing on Monday, April 6th, with combined footage of Wendy’s at-home segments as well as some unused clips from before the show stopped production.

Wendy Williams, while her show, The Wendy Williams Show, is on hiatus, appeared on Dr. Oz and explained how she learned that her show would be halting production, according to PageSix.

“I got a telephone call, honestly, and the phone call was, ‘Wendy?’ I was like, ‘What? What am I doing wrong now?’ I always think I’m in trouble. They said, ‘We’re all shutting down everything, all the networks. Nobody is going to be doing new shows. We want all the hosts to be well.’,” she explained.

“I said, ‘But I can do it even with no audience. I don’t even have to have the staffers there because I did that for two days.’ But they said, ‘No. We need to have you home, indefinitely.’ There will be no more Wendy or any of the other people for a period of time.

“I’m willing to risk it with one camera and a flashlight. I’m ready to go back to work next week. I’m ready to go back to work when we’re like — come on, let’s go!”

As for when The Wendy Williams Show will return, a date is still up in the air. The Coronavirus outbreak is showing no signs of stopping any time soon.

Although The Wendy Williams Show originally planned on joining many televised programs in taping audience-free episodes in response to the coronavirus outbreak, it unfortunately looks like the tea will be put on ice for now after production on the daytime talk show has been postponed indefinitely.

The news was announced a statement released on the show’s official Instagram yesterday, reading as follows: “Considering the current escalation of the Coronavirus, production of The Wendy Williams Show will be put on hold, indefinitely. In place of live shows we will air repeats and we will continue to monitor the situation with the CDC and city officials to determine the best time to return and produce live shows again. I love you for watching!”

It makes perfect sense that Wendy would put the show on hold. In addition to the major health concerns that a studio filled with hundreds of people could cause, Williams’ live audience play a major role in the show’s regular routine overall. This is definitely the best decision for everybody, and we just hope this whole ordeal is figured out sooner than later.

Read the original statement posted on the official @wendyshow Instagram account below:

The Coronavirus outbreak is flipping the world upside down. Huge events are being cancelled or postponed, including Coachella, which got moved from April to October. Workers and students are being instructed to stay home. However, American television hosts are bravely continuing to report for duty. 

The Wendy Williams Show will keep filling its daily slots, but out of concern for the hundreds of audience members who are normally clumped into sitting close together, the talk show will temporarily halt taping with live studio audiences. This news was announced on the program’s official Instagram page. “Wendy values her co-hosts and their daily participation, but in light of the current health climate, The Wendy Williams Show will not have a live studio audience until further notice,” the message reads. “We will continue to produce a daily live talk show & look forward to welcoming the studio audience back when the time is right.” 

The Wendy Williams Show will be joining Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Dr. Phil in the list of programs that have taken this precaution. As of now, the late-night talk show circuit has not committed to taking similar measures. 

In other Wendy Williams-related news, on Tuesday’s episode of her show, she scolded Nicki Minaj for marrying a registered sex offender.

Last week, Nicki Minaj‘s husband, Kenneth Petty, made headlines for failing to register as a sex offender. When he was pulled over in Los Angeles back in November 2019, police charged him for not submitting himself to the sex offender registry in the state of California after moving there from New York. TMZ only broke the story last week as Petty was going in for his court hearing, which resulted in the charges being dropped by the state only because he is being held accountable for similar charges in a federal case. 

With all this talk circulating about Petty, Wendy Williams was bound to chime in, as she has a history of picking apart Nicki’s life on her show. At the end of Tuesday’s episode of The Wendy Williams Show, Wendy did not hold back on shaming the rapper for her decision to marry a registered sex offender – a decision which Wendy feels has greatly damaged Nicki’s image. “Let me tell you something Nicki,” Wendy began. “You should have never married him. Because now, you’ve ruined everything about what your brand could be, again. You’re never gonna stand a chance when you’re with a man who pulls a knife at rape-point… a molester. A registered sex offender, who wasn’t even registered. You’re never going to stand a chance with John Q. Public, because there’s only one thing worse than touching children, and pulling knives: and that’s murder. By the way, he did go to jail for manslaughter.”

When Wendy commenced her rant, she mistakenly said that the man she was about to discuss was Nicki’s brother. She later clarified this mix-up while pointing out that Nicki’s brother also happens to be in jail, serving 25 years to life for child rape. 

Wendy Williams is not here for Ashley Graham’s public baby changing move, calling the new mother out on her show for her dirty diaper emergency post on Instagram. In the now-viral post that Ashley shared last week, the new mother can be seen changing her then-6-week-old son, Isaac, on the floor of a Staples store. “Sh*t just got real!” the model wrote in the caption. “First diaper blow up while running errands with no restroom in sight! Thank God I remembered to put the changing mat in the diaper bag!!!”

While many of Ashley’s friends and followers found the moment endearing and relatable, Wendy was not on board with the message. “I don’t like what she did,” Wendy told the studio audience on her talk show on Thursday. While she does admit that “this story’s really sensitive,” she goes on to criticize Ashley’s move. “As a mother, you hate it when you go places and there are no changing tables, right?…They’re at the Staples, and he does an explosive….now personally speaking, I don’t want to see this, and I’m going to tell you why” She explains that the circumstances would be different for a woman who takes public transit or uses ride-sharing apps to run errands, but in her opinion, Ashley has no excuse.

 “Why didn’t she take the baby out to the car?” Wendy asked, the audience applauding in agreement. You’re watching the baby more than you’re watching where the Sharpies and rings of paper, and cartridges for your printer are—when you see that baby’s face turn purple, you know what they’re doing. They’re about to push one out, [so] you leave your whole basket there.”

“I just wish she would’ve done something different,” Wendy continued. “This is not cool and I don’t know why we have to know about it on your Instagram. This is not hot. Ashley, I like you, but this is not hot, this is sending a bad message. I don’t want to see this in the store…What I don’t want to see is a rich lady doing this then you all thinking you can do this, nope, not cool, not hot.” Tell us how you really feel, Wendy.
