Could u consider doing a video on Shakir Stewart??
@@SpecialNeedsMamaBear sure! I have no idea who that is though 😂
You’re a great storyteller
@@WithDiameter oh wow thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoy my style ☺️
@@betheecommentator he was a music executive blackmailed by Sean Combs and shot himself. He did some thing on video and was worried his family would find out
that segment towards the end of her talking about how she trusts her man and how special he was is absolutely heartbreaking. she was trying to convince herself
Yeah that was hard to hear. I definitely “get it”, and get where she was coming from in wanting the best and wanting to believe someone so much, however we all know how it ends so like you said it’s hard to hear
@@betheecommentator If she actually believed what she was saying, her explanation would have less words. Just plain laziness. And the attitude toward her last miscarriage...it caused a kink in her self-proclaimed life path. That was it. The "stamp my foot, I didn't get my way" attitude is a really crappy look.
Weak Wilty Wendy
Heart breaking isn't the word I'd use to describe it.
Love and praying for Wendy.🙏🏻🙏🏻
14:10 - She wrote about how she didn’t compare her SA to other people, because she wasn’t crying, disheveled, and her clothes weren’t torn - that truly broke my heart. She invalidated her experience, simply because it wasn’t a brutal violent attack. Ladies, please know that your SA doesn’t have to be violent, brutal, or painful to be classified as a r@*3. More often than not, it’s not a creepy guy that pulls you into an alley. More often than not, it’s someone you know, trust, maybe had consensual relations with previously, or maybe someone who was kind and charming. Always remember that consent can change at any time, and that you are allowed to change your mind, and realize that SA of any kind is NOT your fault. If an experience wasn’t consensual, then it was SA, and that is all you need in order to feel validated. Please don’t compare your SA to anyone else’s or compare their reactions and their trauma to yours.
THIS! 👏
It wasn't rape because she didn't say no by her own omission.
@@mrsa9130 Not saying no =/= saying yes. Consent is enthusiastic. She was raped end of story.
@@mrsa9130 If it is not a clear "YES" then it is a no. If there is confusion there is no consent.
@@mrsa9130 😐
Hearing Kevin say he wouldn’t give Wendy the same grace she gave him is exactly why she should have ended it with him right then and there. Cus then he turned around and had a whole side family on her 😩
I know right! What a slap in the face
👏🏾💯EXACTLY💯👏🏾!!!
Well, He as the first Real man to actually want to be with her or show her interest, remember she suffered from very low self initiated with her parents/ family.
@@mimisalazar3133 …she had multiple relationships before him
@@mimisalazar3133 how in the hell is he a "real man"?!!!!! A real man would never cheat on the woman he loves. A real man treats his wife like she's a queen. Period.
Hearing rape repeatedly referred to as ‘date rape’ by Wendy is just so sad. She defends her clothing as ‘being covered’, minimises her experience by examples of comparison… so so sad. Rape is rape, and trauma is trauma; no comparison necessary. But this segment in particular sheds a lot of light on how her character development went the way it did.
Yeah it makes me feel like this is a different person than just Wendy who I saw on my phone on RUclips.
Maybe she called it date rape to emphasize that like this might be a guy who she liked but she didn’t want to go all the way with which was different than her idea of rape. I agree rape is rape whether or not it’s physically bruising. It is still sexual violence. I did feel like it sounded sad that she was like “I was covered”. But back in a certain time that’s how people thought clearly which is why she didn’t want to tell anybody.
I can’t believe she did not end up telling her father poor thing.
That is what is was called back then. People wouldn't believe a woman if she went on a date with someone and said she was raped. We fought to be believed. Now your generation has the right to be believed, weather the man is someone you dated or someone known to you some other way. The woman who came before you fought against these attitudes so you younger women don't have to go through what we did. "Date rape" was the term used then, not just by Wendy.
@@upickit3333 There are men and women & children that still go through some of those things, that go through not being believed when they tell the truth and so there’s still work to be done. With that said a lot of progress has been made in the last decade alone but certainly I imagine it has improved a great deal in the last 30. People are evolving and that’s good
Oh ok so the term “date rape” meant something different back then. Got it
We were told that we were “asking for it” ! It has happened to me. I was “asking for it” because I dressed like a rocker, I was cute and blonde, I was very friendly…so I “asked for it”. I did the same as Wendy, scrubbed myself and then soaked it a boiling hot tub. No gun or knife was involved so…🫤😵💫😢
She was never connected to her trauma. Her whole life was one traumatic episode after another and she would pretend to brush past it and then take coke to manage it.
And then it all came down.
Wow! 👏
Very good points: “never connected to trauma”. Deep!
Exactly! She seemed so detached from her traumatic experiences, no wonder it was easy for her to air everyone else’s dirt. The most eye opening part for me, was the way she handled the miscarriage at 5 months. I’m not shaming her, for trashing the information about her daughter. I wish she would have gotten help to grieve and process her loss. I’m afraid that she’s had a severe mental breakdown and I hope she’s able to get healthy.
I think you're right. It's especially easy to do when you're making a lot of money with an enviable career and having all these great experiences!
It’s also worth noting after her SA bc she never dealt with it, it manifested in her outlook on people and her walling of emotions. Trauma literally exists in the body and without proper healing it can change the trajectory of your life for the worst. She doesn’t even realize how this was the catalyst of her future downfall.
psychologist here: common, people sometimes only remember years later
The way her parents treated her is appalling! That is just blatant abuse. I never knew too much about Wendy Williams (I'm from Europe) but my Respect for her has grown through this documentary simply for the fact that she is willing to share every "sordid" detail about herself, not only "outing everyone's "dirty" laundry". The woman just has NO Filter..It's just who she is. I think she's doing a lot for Americans who I find to be extremely conservative and not willing to open discussions about potentially difficult topics.
i completely agree but i’m not sure what Americans you’ve been around because the general public never strays from talking about potentially difficult topics. perhaps you’re going off of the media and censorship that exists (specifically anytime before the 2010’s) but Americans as a whole are pretty passionate when talking about “taboo” subjects.
@@crab2195 no we're not, we're shallow as hell
I think the problem is that most people don't understand the upper middle class social class.....you have to LOOK a certain way and PRESENT a certain way in order to perpetuate the idea that you are PERFECT. That's why Wendy states 'my growing up was perfect but perfect is an illusion' upper middle class pretends as if they have no problems, they are IDEAL. It's not real though and that's why there are so many movies about this illusion. See American Beauty
@@millsykooksy4863 this is the absolute truth.
@@millsykooksy4863 completelyyyy disagree. sad that you feel that way lol
The way she talks, you can feel how it effects her. She is so intense when talking about her life story, even when she tries to act like it is no big deal. I believe her experiences shaped how she talks about others. She may be mean, but she is a product of her environment and the times.
Wow, very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
We tend to see in others, things that bother us about ourselves. It's easier to see that behavior in another person, especially if we are in denial about our own abuse.
This calculated cheating narrative…giving a pass to men…NEVER HOLDS UP.
That's not an excuse to say the things she does. She's not some robot at the mercy of her environment as you say, she CHOOSES to say the shit she does. Don't play
She should have gotten therapy then. Which is something she literally said to one of her victims.
Disturbing how her family treated her!!
This!! She reminds me of Khloe
For real!!
@@AshleySpeaks09yup formerly Bruce would always question khloe about her weight.
It’s also disturbing how she treated people once she got famous. Airing out their personal struggles and making a fortune off of it.
Her excusing her husband's affair is textbook delusion. She put him on a pedestal and allowed him to mistreat her. She took back a cheater and look what happened. Tragic.
Damn hurt people, HURT PEOPLE. And Wendy has been hurt her entire life, so she basically made a career out of it. I feel bad for her
That's a MYTH, hurt people DON'T WANT other people to hurt like them, unless they CHOOSE to be like the people that hurt them.
Wow. Wendy Williams has said so many gross, mean things that I didn't expect to relate to her struggles or feel so much for her while listening to this story 😭
Also, I think the clip at 22:11 is the first time I've seen adult Wendy prior to all her surgeries, and she was BEAUTIFUL. It's so sad that even now she doesn't seem to see that.
I agree, I was very taken aback hearing about some of these things. I had no clue. I wondered how many people would be able to relate to some of the things she went through? Very sad.
Also, I agree with you again; she’s an attractive woman but I think her self-esteem is so low as she stated in the episode, the seeds were planted early on. What a shame.
@@betheecommentator I'm sure a lot of people can relate, which is even more sad.
I know, it seems like her parents (and society in general) really made her hate herself and that never fully went away. The fact that she was acting like it was something to celebrate that a singer wanted to be with her "pre-surgery," even though he would end up assaulting her, is heartbreaking. Despite the things she's done since, young Wendy deserved so much better.
@@maggiedk absolutely. No one deserves all that struggle. I wish more people could understand that. Like I could absolutely loathe a person's existence and not want them going through SA, addiction, and miscarriages. Unfortunately I have heard people say some awful sht with all of that calling it karma smdh
For real.... I never expected to relate to Wendy Williams with stealing parents' money for treats at school bc our lunches were "healthy".
@@betheecommentator it all makes sense now. Her love for “the white lady” it built her confidence, re-enforced by weight loss, therefore approved by others whom said she was fat. With all that, came her success so yet again, in her mind positive re-enforcement for the drug. Just my humble opinion.
Her parents were so abusive it’s so sad
*I totally agree with you, her parents were very traumatizing!!! I don't know why MORE people didn't acknowledge this! In my opinion, they were 🗑️**#TRASH**🗑️!!!They really planted the 'FAT' seed in her AT AN EARLY AGE!!!!* 💔
@@zeepickens9049 yeah, and it’s sad because you can tell that she’s like this because of all that
@@RareMusicSpam *so true!!!*
Agree
She, somehow, as an adult, spoke of her mother as her best friend.
If you need an outlet, get a therapist.
If you need an outlet, go to the gym, work out.
If you need an outlet, what about a friend, talk to them.
After watching this, it is very clear that Wendy needs' to heal, her upbringing mignt have appeared good to her, they sound abusive.
She went from one abusive relationship, to another, she has to heal.
Yes, yes and yes!
This!!! Wendy felt like because she was a blk girl who grew up in a 2 parent household w a lil $ they were doing something. Hell so did Whitney Houston and all this time later we find out it was her BROTHER not BOBBY who got her hooked on drugs as a preteen. All of that faking and fronting must be a Jersey thing. Teresa Guidice too.
Sad that Wendy believes her childhood was great
I would never tell… my god! I feel sorry for her
The way her parents treated her is absolutely horrible! This was so evil and vile. She was a beautiful young girl and her parents should have been instilling that in her. It’s disturbing.
she has been hurting for a long time.
Yes
I really felt the weight part with her family. My whole family called me “fat ass” as my nickname, my grandma and siblings. Everyone expect my mom, she really saved me from a ED. She always reminded me I was beautiful just the way I am when she seen how that “nickname” was fucking with my mental health and she’d tell my family to stop multiple times but they never did and would say “it’s just a nick name, it’s not that serious. She’s always been chubby since she was a baby”. It sucks when people say shit like that regardless but when it’s your own family, it hits different. SO different, having your own family bully you and are the reason why you have insecurities with your body.
I am so sorry to hear about you went through at the hands of your family. I hope you know that you are beautiful and are in much better place today 💕
@@betheecommentator I’m in a much better place now 💗 I’m grateful that I had such a great mother. Thank you for the uplifting words 🫶🏾
I have the the same issue with my 3 teenage boys. The two eldest, two jokes, are always making fun of the third youngest and slightly chubbier . I do correct them when they do it in front of me, but it is in their opinion just sibling bunter and it is very hard to make them understand it may have a bad impact on their brother.
They have been told off numerous times. But on the other hand i don’t think they are mean, it is something maybe we sre programmed to do. I am an only child so I cannot relate at such. My husband is an only child too. So it is not often easy to u
Understand perfectly these siblings interactions and rivalries. The youngest is much more clever ( he is on the spectrum and intellectually gifted):than the eldest so maybe for them it is an easy way to bring him down… but on t he other hand he is not able to use his superior intellect to bring these two down to earth
@@silviaetna9874 I’d suggest you try to get them to stop ASAP! They might not mean any harm but it caused a lot of harm and I can say this from experience. It may cause a lot of body image issues and that shit sticks with you forever. Sibling rivalry is common but repeating the same joke over and over and over again eventually becomes our reality and make us think it’s true and it’s not a joke anymore if it’s repeated enough times.
@Silvia Etna maybe hun try some bonding activities. Like where the brothers have to actively work against you guys the parents in order to win. You could do something like white water rafting (we have it in australia) or rowing and you and dad can be in the competitior boat and the three boys can be in the opposing boat and you can race them. You can have like xbox gift cards 10 bucks or whatever hun as gifts. Maybe your son who gets bullied can be in charge of picking the winning sides place to eat dinner I.e mc donalds. And maybe just try to stop advocating for him in that sense like forcing the fact its bad (no offence cause they're probably not listening) and maybe make it like a team bonding thing where in they HAVE to work together to accomplish something.
Could even be mini golf etc.
Just an idea hope I've been respectful lots of love to you amazing people.
Her disgusting behaviour makes more sense hearing her background. Doesn't excuse it, but does help explain her toxicity.
Whitney Houston was not to be played with, she gave Wendy the blues
'if she did the same thing, i would be gone! no free passes!' WOW. wendy staying and justifying why she stayed AND saying it's the best thing to ever happen to them...there's a term for that, its called cognitive dissonance. on top of which she hands this man the ammo needed to do this to her again and expect to be forgiven. i want nothing more in this world than for women to value themselves more than they value being in a relationship.
I also found her interview with Vlad to be so fascinating. In her opinion one shouldn’t confess that they’ve cheated UNLESS they’ve been stone cold busted?! That logic is insane to me. The standard is so low.
@@betheecommentator yeeeeeees! Omg
I need to read this again and again and again... seriously
Damn!! The connection Diddy had to take out so many in the business is mind blowing. From the hit he put on Pac, all the way to Wendy, he really does need to be exposed for all his dirty ways.
I loved this episode so much Be!! Thank you for all your hard work! 🤍
I had to come back to add, Kevin saying that if Wendy cheated he would be gone, but him cheating is slimy but that doesn’t make him a slimy person?! Wth?! Aint no damn way! Why Wendy?! You’re so gorgeous and funny and loving. No way you deserve that disgusting man.
@@lucyfruge omg yes! The way I completely rolled my eyes over his whole section in her book 🙄
Also, thank you so much for your continued support and feedback!! Glad you enjoyed this video ❤
@@betheecommentator right!, I was so grossed out by everything he had to say. She has given that leech way too much. I wish her self worth was where it needed to be, she deserves so much better from her partner. I think her parents really were the catalyst for her self deprecation. I feel so bad for her, wishing she had more love and acceptance in place of the diamonds, pearls, and designer handbags. 💔
P. DidHe? There were allegations that something occurred with underage Beiber.
Wendy is an easy target now that she's sick with no clout, but at her height she was a real juggernaut. We need to give her her flowers. She's no different from Joan Rivers.
And other shock jocks, like Howard Stern
The miscarriage/stillborn children, I felt that. I had a stillborn at 5 months. It breaks you and you’re never the same. 🥺
Sorry
Very true, you never recover from it
I’m sooooo sorry may GOD comfort you in JESUS name Amen
I am so sorry. Same 😢
While I’ve never been a fan of Wendy, I understand her “why” SO much better now. It’s not a justification, but it’s an explanation to how trauma propagates through one’s entire life, once that seed has been planted.
Also, just as a side note, I would never EVER wish anything as devastating as a miscarriage on anyone. I’ve had two and I’ve battled with feeling enough of a “woman” since, despite the unwavering support I get from my husband. So I can’t imagine not having any emotional support AND dealing with a philandering disease-spreader? Especially in the year of our destroyer COVID?? No thanks.
I don't believe it's coincidental that the same garbage used to fuel and nourish her career rather it was perpetuating untrue rumors, exposing someone's pain, or finding delight in someone else's demise. It's the exact thing that destroyed everything she created. Wendy wasn't just dishing the dirt she was enjoying spreading the mess
We are going to get into all of it in part two, you definitely made some great points! 💕
@@betheecommentator I can't wait!! Truly enjoy all your content
@@betheecommentator Thanks. I hate the fake redemptions society hands out at funerals and situations like Wendy’s. The damage you caused didn’t change coz you died or you’re ill.
@@jakestroll6518 also a very good point!!
Agreed
It's why i do not feel any remorse for her
I honestly had such a weird relationship w weight because of my mom too. I feel for Wendy
I’m so sorry to hear you went through that…
@BE THEE COMMENTATOR thank you! I'm much better now but man it lasts way longer than the comments do. You have an amazing channel
@@unicornL I couldn’t even imagine. Keep up the good work and you should be very proud of the progress you’ve made! Much love and healing to you ❤️❤️💕💕
Also, thank you for your feedback. I’m glad you enjoy my channel 😊
Wendy Williams autobiography is absolutely one of the top 3 books I’ve ever read. If you haven’t yet read it, pick it up. She was a trailblazer. She lived a hard life. Love her, or hate her, she fought her way to the top and stayed there for a very long time.
Queen Wendy ! 👸🏾
idk how i've never seen it in the memoir/autobiography section at my regular bookstore strolls
@@TeKeyaKrystal It was gifted to me something like 15 yrs ago. It’s a must read! Hope you can find it ☺️
Must read 📚
Wendy Williams is truly a case study on poetic justice.
Ooh that’s deep
You hit the nail on the head with that one. Its truly is what I'd thought and felt by the end of this story.
What are examples of the worst things she’s done/said that makes you say that and have so many agree (and no one argue your statement??)?? I am genuinely curious, I really don’t know… and the worst things said/done really is a matter of opinion. I’m not disagreeing, I don’t know enough, but it’s such a strong statement.
Many people have done FAR worse than gossip about celebrities- celebrities that rely on that gossip to stay relevant - and receive NO justice. Emmit Till’s accuser got to live to her 80s, but Wendy got justice?🙄 Give me a break.
Girllllllllll.... this is sooooo professionally done! bravo! I had no idea she went through soooo much
Anyone who claims their childhood was ideal and then goes on to say how affected their mind and body was regarding weight... Wetting the bed and drug addiction does not come from idyllic....
She def went through abuse she never disclosed
@@DreaVersePod And our brains sometimes protect us from those kinds of memories and I'm personally grateful for it.
She has had a successful but sad life. Appreciate you putting this together. It’s great. I feel for her and miss her show.
I used to watch Wendy Williams religiously, it’s not only heartbreaking but mind boggling how everything seemed perfectly fine she was in her senses and now she’s not her normal self anymore. Someone did something to her to make her like that. The industry wanted to shut her up once and for all.
This!!! She reminds me of gossip rag version/black girl Dorothy Kilgallen I think that’s her last name. But ya she was a nosy Cancer like Wendy and was about to blow the top of JFK assassination and was found dead in her apt. Smhhhhhhhhh
I cried all through listening😢...Wendy you really went through alot....May you find comfort in God's Love, Grace and Mercy..🙏
Its kind of strange that Wendy cause her childhood "perfect" but its very clear she was being abused.
That’s a very good point and observation
It is common Adults who survive childhood abuse to claim their formative years were "Perfect". It is a survival mechanism.
@@a.jlondon9039denial. It's like they're trying to self-brainwash.
Money wise. Her parents had money but emotionally abused her. They probably told her she should be grateful. Some parents with money are wicked
I can relate because when ur a kid u don’t really notice the dysfunction….it’s like we’re programmed to normalize it . I thought my childhood was pretty decent until I got with my ex and he saw how my mother treated me and was like wtf…but I was so used to it that I was in denial until I was able to open my eyes and really see how f’d up I was really treated and didn’t know until I was 23 years old smh
I loved listening to this, not for Wendy but for the way you tell the story. I am not a Wendy fan but this certainly gave me a bit of perspective on why she is who she is, can’t wait for part 2!
Oh wow, thank you SO much. That means a lot. Thank you giving all my content a chance even if they are about celebrities you aren’t particularly interested in. 💕💕
Another really provocative celebrity with an incredibly nuanced and sad story. I am always impressed by the personalities that you choose to research. I’m looking forward to part two.
Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad enjoyed it. I agree her story is fascinating is more ways than one. Hope you enjoy part 2, it’ll be out soon ❤️❤️
this is my first time ever coming across this channel , by searching for updates on Wendy Williams since her show is no longer being produced , and i think you're right.. well-selected and good content here.. i see the Pam Anderson one of the side , in the suggestions bar , think i may check it out after I watch part two of Wendy
21:16 She was so pretty before the plastic surgery, she didn’t even need it.
I think it's very telling that Howard Stern still has an exceptional career, despite his almost-predatory, filthy past - and yet Wendy Williams is treated like the scum of the entertainment industry, someone who deserves every bad thing that happened to her, because she was a shocking personality. If she were a man, or even a white woman, people would be banning together to get her back on television. I don't agree with a lot of Wendy's decisions, but she doesn’t deserve that.
Wow very interesting and valid points made! Your comment has so many layers to it that would make for an amazing conversation 👏👏💕
TRUE
💯
I’ve always believed this. Howard stern literally said on air that the columbine school shooters should’ve raped some of the victims before killing them because “they were hot”.
Wendy has said some crazy shit, but never something close to that vile- though she’s been ostracized wayyy more than Howard has ever been.
Well Wendy would still be on TV had her drug abuse or mental health had not been problematic they gave her chance after chance and they no longer could cover for her since she did a live show. I don't think it had anything to do with gender or race... Everyone was routing for her but she ended up falling apart once her marriage did. I wish her nothing but the best.
This makes you understand her life troubles even more!! Praying for her!!!
Imagine being a parent and patting yourself on the back for giving your child an eating disorder. Absolutely disgusting!
Dang. She miscarried when she was so so far along! The trauma that does to people is unreal.
she was a beautiful woman, shaped by her experiences like many of us but unfortunately she’s gone down a dark path of not just giving us the news/ tea on celebrities but demeaning and disrespecting them like the people did to her in her childhood/ adolescence ages. It’s sad but I definitely see where her behavior comes from now.
Thank you for being such a wonderful storyteller!
Wow, thank you so much!! Thank YOU for being so supportive and encouraging 💕
This series was so well produced. Wendy lived such an interesting life.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for your generosity and support! 💕
This was really sad to listen too. I had not known she went through all of that. It makes sense why she does and says the things she does.
How she talked about Terry crews was just despicable.
I love her story. She didnt give a damn and did her.
I have to say Wendy is unapologetically herself, for sure. She made no apologies. I can respect that.

BAY-BEE! You tore me up and wore me out with this one Bee! I remember listening to Wendy Williams radio show on WBLS on the internet in the early 2000s. It’s been interesting to see her journey unfold in real time. Wendy has been through so much, but she continues to kick ass and take names. You told her story beautifully and accurately. Kudos to you baby girl, you did your big big one! How you doin 🩷💜🩷💜
Thank you!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I had no idea Wendy went through all of this, good grief. Stay tuned for part II, and oh yeah, how u doin?! 🤣
I grew up listening to her since her true hey day at Kiss FM then later HOT 97. I remembered when she got ran out of NYC. It got so bad she needed security to leave the station lol. She was good on WBLS but definitely tamed down from earlier days.
She's not kicking any ass or taking any names. I would rather know that Wendy did drugs because deep down she felt so bad about how she destroyed people. Come to find out, she did drugs because someone called her fat. Wendy has received a lot of compassion which is a lot more than she's ever given anybody.
😢
Wendi is so tall tho how thin did her parents want her? That's wild. That's one pressure I don't put on my son, I make sure he's healthy but I don't harp on his weight it can really mess with a kids head forever
In one of the interviews I read for this topic, she said when she was in sixth grade she was about 187lbs. You make a great point in the fact that she’s so tall
❤❤❤
Tuna and mustard? That sounds like child abuse!
Her parents…smh. Once she blew up, she couldn’t shake them.
😢😢😢😢
I really miss Wendy. This breaks my heart.
A lot of comments that she's getting what she deserves. Celebrity gossiping doesn't equal this. My mom got me watching WW & when she passed away, it was a comfort of sorts. What a sad story, she really LOVED her husband. He seems like a real POS.
Great vid btw!
My opinion still stands on Wendy being a very hateful person and being seemingly okay with it. She dishes things out that she herself cannot handle. It still sucks how it all went downhill for her career but none of us should be shocked and neither should Wendy.
Lunch break starts in 30 min, but screw that we starting this NEOW!!
🤣🤣 thanks for the support!!
Gonna listen while I door dash lol
Lol be safe ❤️❤️💕💕
Me af lol. She has the best commentary voice.
gonna listen while i’m eating my doordash lol
I can't Watch this No More.Prayers My Love keep ur head up.May God take you under his Wings.Prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Her childhood made her 😢. How we raise our children is important
her r*pe story is literally one of the saddest driest squarest assault stories I've ever heard. When you educate yourself on the energetic and psychological very real side of life, those experiences in particular are just as bad as if you got torn apart by many people. When people choose to leave love, warmth, and creativity out of there interactions people get traumatized. You can totally heal completely but even at the highest level of enlightenment hearing how common this is still brings alittle ache. I get why I thought she was slimey as a kid. She is literally a product of her time. Every bad thing she saw, Literally was seen althrough out her career .
Bruh what
Wow, I had no idea all this about her. Can't wait for part 2
Me either, I didn’t know much about her but geesh she’s been through a lot. Part 2 will be interesting, working on it now!
I'm disgusted by her parents.... No wonder she stayed with Kevin... they completely destroyed her self-esteem.
Meanwhile you're being just as judgemental towards them. That's all they knew how to do. When you know better, you do better
Wow, this really hit home at 8:04. My father said something very similar to me at 15/16. I was I guess chubby and about 180/185. "Sue, if you lost 20 more pounds, you'd have to beat the boys off with a stick". I always struggled with weight and now I realize it was hormones. My mom would feed is and I would eat 1/4-1/2 of the plate. I would exercise playing sports and I still feel like I wasn't good enough. Even with my grandparents they also especially my grandmother poked fun at my weight even at 10 not realizing being raped and having an imbalance of hormones more than likely contributed to my weight gain. I'll keep watching this video but wow, I didn't realize how difficult Wendy's life has been.
So sorry for the pain you had to go through. So unfair to have your innocence stolen. Stories like this makes me overprotective towards my youngin, which really isn't even fair tbh. But whew! Seems like these days, they want to molest the boys more than the girls.
@@Deikoka I have to disagree. I think that only recently men/ boys felt safe enough to hold accountable their molesters
This. I wonder how many fat Black girls are using food to cope with sexual/emotional/physical violence. Everybody is pressuring us to "look good" even though, the environment we are being raised in is literally rotten to the core.
I met Eric B. when I was a young lady. It was the late 80’s. He came all the way to the Bronx (off the Bruckner Expressway), to visit my sister’s best friend. I remember sitting in her family living room, like oh my goodness, that is Eric B. He liked tall, thick, and light-skinned sisters.😮😊
I’ve always loved Ms. Wendy Williams!
Anyhow thank you for Documentary. It shows the “HUMAN SIDE” of Ms. Williams. ❤
Thanks for watching! I needed to show the “human” side before we get into the other side. I want to keep this series very balanced 💕
"If you cheat, take it to your grave".
Yeah, definitely not a healthy way to live a transparent and connected marriage.
I just love ur documentaries. They are so well put together and researched so great. U do such an amazing job! U have a knack for this and I can definitely see u as a researcher or even a documentary film maker. I love seeing ur notifications! Keep up the amazing job ur doing! ❤I also love ur voice - it’s very soothing.
Awwww THANK YOU!!! ❤❤
@@betheecommentator of course!!! I can’t wait for Part 2!!!
@sbader0509 : I totally agree with your complimentary analysis of @BE THEE COMMENTATOR !
You are wonderful, BE! But one thing is bugging me: your delightful and luxurious voice sounds so familiar to me. Did you used to have another channel by any chance? I sense that maybe I saw your face on it, too. Anyway, I do LOVE your presentations on this channel! Thank you.💜
@@pollyscookies9180 aww thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoy my channel. No, I haven’t had another channel. I’ve heard so many times that I have a very “common voice”. So many people have mistaken me for other RUclipsrs 😂
@@betheecommentator Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me! But I have to say - to me, your voice is not at all "common". It is, rather, uncommonly lovely.😇
I have listened to the Wendy Williams trilogy Be Thee Commentator now multiple times. I LOVE them. The narrator has the most calming and beautiful voice of clarity in how she delivers direct information. Thank you so much for your existence.
Aww thank you SO much love!! I’m glad you enjoy my channel and content, so sweet ❤️❤️💗💗
I get so excited every time you upload!!!! You do a fantastic job. Definitely one of my favorite channels.
Ahh thanks for the support!! I hope you enjoy it!
@@betheecommentator of course! And I did enjoy it, as always. I'm really looking forward to pt. 2. Love all your vids
Same here she’s my girl foreal
I am here because of that same procedure. My mom lost a son late term with my dad and then when she got pregnant with me, they closed her cervix so she could carry me. Here I am, 34 years later and so proud to be a rainbow baby!
Aww thanks for sharing your story with us! ❤
A surgical cerclage 🥰❤️
Its clear her parents were abusive. I'm sure they abused the other kids in the family, but she couldn't see it. And she was badly traumatized, sexually abused, etc.
Its no excuse for how Wendy talks about other people. But we understand now. Sad. And she was very beautiful, didn't need those surgeries.🙁
"It might have been maybe too many mashed potatoes" is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while!
Thanks again for another great video. Most of the content was new to me. I noticed how close to the surface Wendy’s emotions are. Looking forward to part II.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Wendy has a fascinating story
Wendy Williams was beautiful I’ve never seen her before her enhancements. I pray wherever she is she is safe and being taken care of 🙏🏽
Her words at the end really remind me of those women, not very different from her, who have had little voices in their ears talking about how they can't do better or they aren't good enough. It is truly upsetting.
As for the men are allowed to cheat, um no. Men are no "better" than women at keeping it casual. If anything men who bounce around just want to make sure they have someone to take care of them, in the ways of cooking and the such. Yeah they may "love" the woman they come home to but really is that anything more than one sided friends with benefits?
Ooh good points! Good points!! The part where she said that if she “cheated on Kevin that would prove to her son that she’s a whore” stood out to me. I found that fascinating.
Also, thank you for sharing and weighing in!! Greatly appreciated ❤
I think she’s a woman living in men’s world trying to survive it.
Hmmm that’s an interesting take, I did think about this too. Obviously I don’t share my opinion in my content but I did have that thought. Thanks for sharing!
Fantastic part 1. Goosebumps 😢😢😢
Thank you so much for watching! I didn’t know much about Wendy, good grief she has a very interesting story. 😢😢
@@betheecommentator There are so many things I want to write but at the same time I don't want it to spoil it for the viewers tomorrow that are not members ! But good grief. Makes sense why she lost her shit when her loser husband had a DAUGHTER a couple years back with his side hoe!
What goes around comes around, right PUFFY! LOL!
I really feel bad for what she went through with this man
Wendy has been through it all. I found the conversation she has with the interviewer about her date r word really disturbing. Why was the host laughing?? Wendy seems like she is reliving the hurt while telling the story but she is so media trained at this point that she’s still telling it as gossip, but this HER story. I felt sick after watching that segment. Love Wendy forever, I’m younger so I haven’t tracked her since her come up but I watched every episode on RUclips 😂. She’s a bit unhinged and has no filter, but I always knew that her sometimes hateful and toxic behaviour stemmed from somewhere, I thought it was pathetic Kevin 😢😢. Thanks for the vid, she was/is going through too much, I hope she finds a sweet man and peace
That is something I’ve noticed about Wendy while covering her life story and career, the dismisses and diminishes her trauma. It’s so sad. As we can see, her trauma started early on with her parents who I believe meant well, but handled her body issues in a completely wrong approach. It’s such a shame.
You’re so gifted and detail oriented. Ready for Part II.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your support 💕
3:11 maybe 3:12
& Wendy is seriously cracking me up from the jump! That weird snorting/ sniffing noise is her having 'the drips' from snorting 😅 I mean 'smelling' 'snow' 😂😂😂
Really? Is that what that was? I don’t know if you made it to this point in the episode yet, but when you get to about 43:23 do you know what he is talking about - “the island of women” comment? I’m dying for someone to explain what the heck this means??!!🤣
Yes, 😅 usually if someone sniffs like that, instead of blowing, it's to get the drugs back down the throat instead of coming out...
Hmmm Honestly, when I watched it, I thought that he was saying they were going to a real place that was an actual island, in the Caribbean where beautiful women are to satisfy their "needs", I wouldn't be surprised if they were 'working' women if you catch my drift...
Idk to me it seemed like he couldn't figure out why Puff had let some guy pull his pants down, when they were so close to meeting up with a bunch of females, who wouldn't be as likely to create such a scandal?
My kids kept me pretty busy this weekend & and Monday, so I only now got to finish the video 😅 can't wait for part II
I'm at work but I CAN'T WAIT to watch this after work today!
Awesome!! I hope you enjoy it, I looked forward to your thoughts! Have a great day at work!!
Oooh I can't wait for part two! I never knew any of this (the backstory) and I have a lot of compassion for her as I didn't know about her parents weighing her and all the pressure on her to be thin. I did know about her drug history and her marriage recently ending. I've watched her show a bit over the years and there is something I *really* like about her. She seems very authentic and I love how she is shameless about wearing wigs and very self-effacing about a lot of things. I've never been "a fan" but I have always liked what I'd seen. She's likeable in a way, say, the Kardashians just are NOT. LOL! Recently she's been in the news for what some are saying is a mental breakdown and there was talk of a conservatorship like poor Britney. I hope she's okay. I'm very much looking forward to part two!
@@montyollie thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it. I didn’t know much about Wendy, never watched her show or listened to it on the radio so I found her story pretty fascinating.
Like you said, she is unapologetically herself which I can respect. I like how she stands on what she says. I might not agree with some of her takes etc but at least she stands firm on her convictions; again I can respect that.
Part two will be interesting because we’re going to explore the celebrity scandals she covered, her feuds with people in the industry and discuss where’s she at today. Hopefully you’ll enjoy that one too! Again, thanks for your support and have an amazing day!! ❤❤
Great documentary
I was/am a huge Wendy fan. My best friend got me hooked on her on WBLS back in high school. I have so many memories from my life based around listening to her radio show. I also watched her tv show religiously and was actually asked to do her live show intro during her pilot season but chickened out LOL. I do see how she did some grimy $hiz and one could say she got some karma served to her, but eh.. I still sympathize greatly with her. My heart breaks for her losing her two babies. I have been there. I know how it changes you. I am happy she got her son. I am looking forward to Part 2 because I really have NO CLUE WTF happened to her and why she has disappeared. Good job as always, Be!!
There's allot of information on Wendy I am hearing for the first time. Thanks!
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
I'm still rooting for her !!! I think she's beautiful ! No matter what she weighs.
Thanks so much for watching!
Turning on immediately at my desk!
Thanks girlie!! I hope you enjoy it?! ❤️❤️
Hey I just want to say this was so well done. I loved hearing every minute of her story. I just watched her docuseries and it was so wrong. Everyone did her so dirty in her life all the way to up until present day. Iam mourning Wendy as she is no longer the Wendy we all knew and loved. I just pray she can live out whatever time she has left with people who will actually have her best interests at heart 😢
Wendy was always so eccentric but soooo well spoken. Love listening to her. Imagine her and Obama❤
No thanks on him.

Recap by Tammy AI
The way she was treated makes me understand her more…those treated poorly often push that negativity on others hence her savagness on hot topics…
I been a listener of wendy since early 2000s living in NYC. She has told the truth about her parents and her weight was just appalling! She was a replica of her father, looking just like him and built. How is that her fault. That is why when she could, she went under that knife and re did that entire body. I read her book in 2005, it was a page turner.
You did again Bee! With all the information and hearing her story time and time again you brought Receipts! Old school information and I learned something new. I heard her mama was real dirty behind the scene and Wendy was scrutinized and under pressure a lot in her family. It makes sense why she didn't go to her mothers funeral. Very insightful and great job!
Thank you!! I’m glad you enjoyed it and even walked away with some new insight and information!! Thanks for your continued support ❤
amazing narration with great detail and sequence we love Wendy.God bless
Miss Wendy Williams we love you, get better soon
I love Wendy I hate the way she bleached her skin and all that she was so beautiful
Top tier documentary skills !!! We need more uploads !
Thank you!!! 💕💕
I was fully invested the entire time. Humanized Wendy to me.
My heart cracked when at the end of her date rape story, Wendys composure slipped "i just called my father.."
I appreciate it so much. I needed to at least show this side to her first, because part 2 will be a bit rough 😬
You have a great way of telling the stories of people I don't like or don't ever think too deeply about that makes them interesting and palatable. You don't demonize anyone nor you do you make excuses for them but you put it together in a way that everyone can feel a bit of sympathy and can understand why these folks turn out the way they do. Hype for part 2!
Thank you so much!! I try my best to make well rounded content. Your feedback means everything!! 💕💕
