Wendy Williams has spoken out about the recent arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs, expressing relief that the music mogul is finally facing legal scrutiny. Diddy, 54, was recently arrested and is facing serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Williams, who has been outspoken about Diddy’s behavior throughout her career, was not surprised by the news.
Reaction to Diddy’s Arrest
“It’s about time,” Williams said in a recent interview with Daily Mail. “What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,’ including some people from my family.” For years, Williams warned her audience about Diddy’s alleged misconduct, and now, she feels her concerns have been validated.
In addition to the charges against Diddy, a disturbing video emerged showing him assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel lobby. Williams was horrified by the footage. “To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled… it was just horrific,” Williams said. “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”
Williams’ Bold Career and Health Struggles
Wendy Williams, 60, has never shied away from discussing controversial topics, especially when it comes to powerful figures in the entertainment industry. For years, she was a dominant voice in daytime television and radio, hosting The Wendy Williams Show from 2008 until its conclusion in 2022. The show was known for its “Hot Topics” segment, where Williams shared her unfiltered thoughts on celebrities.
However, Williams has been facing her own health challenges. In recent years, she has been battling primary progressive aphasia and dementia, which have kept her out of the public eye. Despite her health struggles, Williams continues to stay informed, making it clear she’s still keeping her ears to the ground when it comes to industry news.
As for Diddy, the music mogul is currently awaiting trial and has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
