Wendy Williams Fires Producers Following Racism Scandal

Published: Monday 1st Aug 2016 by David

This summer saw Wendy Williams come under fire for questioning the necessity of African-American universities and the NAACP during a segment on her hit talkshow ‘The Wendy Williams Show.’

A conversation with Roland S. Martin on the platform saw the successful talkshow host brought up to the speed on the racist legislation that gave their creators no choice but to create them.

Thought all was well once she apologised? Unfortunately, the answer to that question is no.

For, she has given two members of the show’s camp the boot…hours after its end-of-season party.

Bad news below…

‘Wet Paint’ reports:

“The crew had a big party celebrating what they considered a season well done,” an insider told Page Six. “The next day [some of them] got calls saying they’d been let go.”

It’s believed longtime producer Jason Gabel is one of the casualties, along with two unidentified senior staff members.

    If this is true then it proves she just says what others want. I don’t understand why she would fire producers for something SHE said. Wendy has always been adamant on saying it like she means it so how is it their fault ? Cause they told her to cover the topic or cause she was too uneducated on the topic. Hmmmm

    Shady as hell.

    The irony, first of all Wendall is the biggest c*** on live television today after Stacey Dash and Raven Symone.

    Secondly, nobody forced you to say what you said Wendall, take responsibility for your actions and words sir.

    Lastly, I guess him losing a Chevy sponsorship has got him shook, next time think before you talk Wendall.

    Sounds like a bunch of excuses from a person who received backlash over what he said because he didn’t realize he had control over how his message is delivered.

    • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 1, 2016

      Lmao!’He’ has no balls. Mr. Wig found his fall guys. Smh.

    Interesting, seeing as she blatantly makes racist comments about white people and targets susan (her hype woman) to be the b*** of all her shady comments. But it’s whatever.

    Lets not forget that this is the same old long tail racehorse who called Beyonce uneducated. Wendell didn’t even know the history behind HBCU’s and could hardly articulate his argument. He stuttered and stammered throughout his entire explanation. Couldn’t even finish his statement correctly. Wendell go somewhere! Read some books! watch some documentaries on HBCU’S! When you’re done doing that go eat some beans and cornbread. Because you’ve lost way too much weight. Then go get a breast reduction because u look ridiculous.

    • LB August 1, 2016

      “Read some books!”

      Oh God how I wish you would take your own advice.

        BirdBrain, don’t stir up a pot you aren’t willing to cook. You serve up Uncle Tom, Stacey Dash, Wendy Williams koon realness all of the time. You honestly aren’t even worthy of my shade.

      • LB August 1, 2016

        All that mess you wrote only because I encouraged you to read. Reading is not a white thing, it is a smart thing. Only simple n***** would respond like that to an encouragement to read.

        ^This is coming from the buck dancing koon who said that I have a “dark skinned inferiority complex.”^ Don’t play dumb! This has nothing to do with you encouraging me to read, but everything to do with you suffering from low self esteem and the Willy Lynch syndrome. You don’t care about Black Lives or HBCU’S. You just want to be apart of the conversation because its a trending topic.

      • LB August 1, 2016

        Of course you would think that, the thinking capacity of topics this complex are beyond your scope or comprehension, that is because you don’t want to read.

        Continue frequenting the blogs, that will limit your intellectual capacity, if at all you had one beyond a 5th grade level.

        Says the self hating delusional troll that’s been on this blog longer than pretty much every other commenter…

      • LB August 1, 2016

        @Abel Minaj or whatever, use your real username (Rihnavy) and I might take you seriously, might…

      • Cops Give A Damn About A Negro. Pull A Trigger Kill A N**** He’s A Hero (Tyler) August 1, 2016

        @Abel
        LOL And in that order! I am here for you and ALL of the shade that you’re throwing BirdBrain’s way. Finish him #WellDamn #LetTheWitnessSpeak

      • Abel Minaj (Arianator Barb) August 1, 2016

        @LB there you go with your constant hypocrisy. Don’t pretend you aren’t Shakira Stan. Not to mention that you’re always talking about your high intellect yet never having any logical argument to support your opinions and contradicting yourself on a regular basis just to convince yourself that your holier than thou attitude is justified. That comment i quoted, you saying intelligence and taste are two separate things then turning around and saying only those without an education enjoy Beyonce, criticizing Nicki for singing and rapping as if she doesn’t know what she wants yet praising Azealia and Lauryn for doing the exact same thing, as well as the plethora of fuckery that endlessly shows up in every comment you leave negate any and every claim you have of that “high intellect”.

        Aint nobody got time for that dissertation

    I can see Wendy Williams show will be canceled its coming.

    • MusicFan103 August 1, 2016

      She is renewed thru like 2020 or 2022 though. There is like a deal with FOX through one year and her production deal thru the later date I believe.

  9. MusicFan103 August 1, 2016

    Yeah I guess IDK why a producer would be fired for what she said unless she was fed those words and opinions to say. Like if they said, say this because it will be more controversial and get us on the news and blogs, but was all negative rather positive.

    Either way, it seems a bit odd to fire producers when you are the one saying it like you mean it, allegedly.

    Me personally I think she could have worded her response better. If she believes that, it is fine. But she could have certainly articulated her response to it better. Everyone is allowed their opinion. Many of us realize why HBCU’s were created back in the day, and only wished and hoped that in 2016 they were no lounger needed, and that racism was not longer and issue in our lives… but sadly not much or AS much progress has happened so we do still need the BET’s and HBCU’s of the world.

    In due time lets hope for more inclusion and equality for ALL!

    All blacks should stop watching her show. I respect people like Nina Simone, who use their public platform to fight against oppression and injustice. Can you imagine Harriet Tubman with a gossip talk show lol, while watching blacks being enslaved? Harriet put her life on the line for people like Wendy… I guess Wendy would have asked Harriet, “Why do we have organizations like the ‘UNDER GROUND RAILROAD?’

    • Anastasia Beaverhousen August 1, 2016

      Nothing but the truth! But Harriet was a far superior person and so courageous.

      Harriet had brain surgery, and biting a bullet was her anesthesia.

      Wendell would would die if anyone snatched her synthetic wig.

      Night and day of human beings..

  11. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? August 1, 2016

    Chile, throwing stones and hiding her hands while hiding behind someone else and pointing fingers anywhere at anyone but herself.

  12. Tru Voice August 1, 2016

    She has def changed since her radio days. She seemed more “down with the people” then and she ALWAYS has her facts straight on the radio. Now she messes up everything and get stories twisted. The racist comments opened some eyes.

  13. Fatusankoh August 1, 2016

    Wendell go away you are trash and a haters

  14. Mark111 /.\ August 1, 2016

    Eh, I watch here and there, but I don’t see how most support this trash. Wendy always been trashy and bashing Blacks, the worst was when she told the radio that Method Man’s wife had cancer. His wife didn’t even tell her own mother or family yet.

  17. Thando August 2, 2016

    Beyonce fans DO NOT like Wendy. Lol for obvious reasons. Wendy is daft for what she said.
    But that’s no reason to ban her show(which won’t happen). She does gossip, lots of people do gossip let alone for the fact that its free speech(which is something very important to you Americans).
    Her show is very entertaining and the ratings speak volumes and NO she won’t be banned just cause of one episode of stupidity. 2022 is a long way away and Fox is not going to let go of a show that most probably brings in ratings revenue.

  18. Caleb August 4, 2016

    Isn’t she on BET? Yet she doesn’t believe in there being historically Black colleges and Black awards shows? But she has no problem being on Black Entertainment Television? Wtf
