Wendy Williams Breaks Silence on Diddy Case: ‘It Is About Time’

The former radio and television host has a long and tumultuous history with the fallen business mogul.

Wendy Williams attends the “New Cash Order” Documentary Screening at Lighthouse International Theater on Feb. 20, 2020 in New York City.

Before endearing herself to American households with her nationally syndicated daytime talkshow The Wendy Williams Show, she was the rap industry’s gossip queen on popular NYC-area radio stations like Hot 97 and WBLS. So its natural for some fans on social media to be curious about what Wendy Williams would have to say about the legal situation Diddy currently finds himself in.

Well, everyone can put those curiosities to bed, because Williams has broken her silence as she continues to deal with serious health issues.

The Daily Mail was able to get in touch her, and she had some interesting things to say about the man she has a long history with. “What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,’” she told the British outlet. “Including some people from my family who have said the same.”

Williams — who also let fans know that she’s “doing good” — said of the Cassie assault video, “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.” Adding, “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”

Williams and Diddy have had their fair share of run-ins, most notably in 1998 when the mogul allegedly got the then-radio show host fired from her Hot 97 gig, at least according to her protégé Charlamagne Tha God, who mentioned the rumor during an appearance on the Flagrant podcast. “Wendy’s whole thing was, Diddy was gay,” Charlamagne said. “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.”

Back in 2022, Diddy’s former bodyguard Gene Deal alluded to his then-boss getting Williams fired from Hot 97 in an interview with Art of Dialogue. “You started the conversation earlier about what did I mean about the power Puff had. With the radio stations in New York? Mother—-ers didn’t breathe hard if Puff didn’t want them to. … Puff got one of the hottest DJs off of Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down,” Deal said.

Adding, “Puff 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 label executives that was cool with him, everyone was going to boycott their station. We was out in L.A. for about three days; before we landed back in New York, Wendy Williams was in the radio station in Philly. It was over for her. She was fired.”

Diddy is now facing lawsuits from 120 new abuse victims as he continues to appeal for bail.
