I have been a devoted listener of my girl Wendy Williams since she was rocking the airwaves with DJ Red Alert at Kiss FM. I was a teenager at the time, waiting-practically salivating for her evening show to hear the scoop on prominent Hip-Hop artists like Diddy, Jodeci, Mary J, etc…
She moved over to Hot 97 {bka Shot 97}. She beefed with Angie supposedly over some scoop about who Angie was creeping with… Emmis Communication shipped her out to Philly’s Power 99. I was only able to hear her when I visited my friends Lynn and CJ at Fort Dix in South Jersey. But she was still bringing it.
Eventually she brought her fatty over to WBLS-where she should have been from the jump… She hired Nicole Spence {a former high school classmate of mine} as her celebrity booker/assistant. My last memory of Nicole was her walking off RCC campus talking about moving back to the Bronx with her cousin to make it in the music business hopefully as an A&R assistant or something. I never really engaged in conversations with her in high school but at “The Rock” she seemed more mature and down to earth. I wished her luck and success and she was on her way…
Fast forward, I peep Wendy’s show one day and hear a familiar voice on the mic. I knew Wendy mentioned Nicole’s name but I didn’t think it was the same girl… When I check WW site and saw her pic – I was proud to see she made it far. Its cool seeing your peers make it somewhere…
Anyhow, I was disturbed couple months back to hear the news that Nicole was suing the ish out of Wendy because of her allegedly trifling husband. I guess it was a shocker since Nicole seemed to have a tight relationship with Wendy. They go out and eat together, go shopping… Nicole got that Essence deal – 30 days 30 dates, or something like that. I thought it was all good. But when I browsed on Sandra Rose and other blog sites for details regarding the charges, Nicole started recounting incidences that happened while on air – while I was in my car or at home listening to the show.
Nicole accused Wendy of persuading her to go shopping for new clothes, look more sexy, etc to help her Bushwick goon get his rocks off… Hell, I feel disgusted if Wendy was in fact saying that crap on air to help get her husband off… I feel even more guilty than disgusted for blindly witnessing that kind of harassment. I always thought it was odd to have the ruff Mcgruff on the airwaves during bonus hour. He would be soooo out of line – it boggled me why she would air him out and have him in the spotlight. He’s her manager, play the background, stick to your role nucca. Then all of a sudden, he was no longer on the air – THANK GOD! His chi was off…
I even recall odd silent air just when the commercial breaks ended as if she just got back from the bathroom late. But now in my mind, I imagine her hubby hemming her up against the pink walls, grappling her by her neck. She would clear her throat like the dry air has knock out the moisture in her esophagus when really she was probably readjusting her t-neck cashmere sweater to cover her bruises.
For the record, I do wish that Wendy – the friend in my head – is actually not in an abusive relationship {though she jokes about being choked up for sexual pleasure} and that Nicole – a quasifriend from childhood – works out a settlement out of court for putting Wendy on blast. In my heart, I want Wendy to be alright, but my core kind of tells me, that Nicole is probably telling some truth. She might have dramatize a few details but something tells me that Wendy and her oger stepped the boundaries at some point. But Wendy should have her people sign a disclaimer – to protect her and them. The Experience is not an average working environment. She pushed alot of buttons over the years – why am I not surprised this would occur.
Then a few weeks ago, the blogosphere exploded with video of Mr. Wendy Williams explicitly have coitus with a jump-off. I don’t know Kevin personally but hell, what I have seen of him in photos, its him on the tape. Yeah maybe he doesn’t have the tatts like he has now, Wendy but he wasn’t born with tatts either. He obviously made the video montage before the ink. Giving you even more reason to run out to Montclair Women’s Center and demand a HIV test. But that’s all my opinion…
Anyway, today is June 4th and Wendy is on air now, announcing her Fox TV show. I am sure it will be eventful and entertaining. I will be watching but curiously and inquisitively checking her neck for an abundance of cover-up to disguise those bear marks.
