Outspoken star Wendy Williams, 60, didnât hold back as she addressed the long list of allegations filed against disgraced rapper P Diddy, 55 - real name Sean Combs.
Former talk show host Wendy made a guest appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show this morning, hosted by Charlamagne tha God. Charlamagne - who once worked on audio on The Wendy Williams Show - addressed the TV starâs own former career in radio.
Wendy used to work on radio station HOT 97, and was fired after making multiple snide comments about Diddy. The star has hinted that she thought Diddy was responsible for her firing, writing in her book, The Wendy Williams Experience, that she had âa certain level of contempt for Puffâ because he âsingle-handedly tried to ruinâ her career.

âSo Wendy, you got fired from HOT 97 years ago because of Diddy. All these years later to see where Diddy is, what do you feel about that situation?â, Charlamagne asked.
Wendy replied: âWhen I watch TMZ and I see the stuff that goes on, Iâm like, âOh my God.â And then all the sudden I see me on TMZ. So itâs really weird seeing me on TMZâŠ
âAs far as Diddy, Diddy will go to prison for life, people. You donât know things that I knew about Diddy back in the day, and you wanna know what? Itâs about time, people. It is about time. Diddy done.â
Wendyâs firm words about Diddy come after a PR expert weighed in on the silence from most celebrities, and claimed that theyâre scared to speak out either in support or judgement of the rapper. âUnlike Harvey Weinstein or R. Kelly, the response to Diddy's arrest is massively quiet within the celebrity community," celebrity crisis expert Eric Schiffer, told the Mirror.
Giving his take on the tumbleweed in Hollywood, he said: "Celebrities are silent because they are scared to death of their brands being in the klieg lights and bleeding out with fans over ties to Diddy, and worse, getting subpoenaed to reveal Diddy's chamber of secrets."
Diddy is currently behind bars at the ruthless Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, where he is awaiting trial after being charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, transportation and engaging in prostitution. The rapper is expected to be locked up until his trial kicks off on May 5.
However, there are concerns that Diddy is exerting power from behind bars. The rapper has requested bail multiple times, and a court filing from November saw prosecutors urge the judge to reject him. They wrote that a review of recorded jail calls made by Combs showed he had asked family members to reach out to potential victims and witnesses and urge them to create "narratives" to influence the jury pool.
"The defendant has shown repeatedly - even while in custody - that he will flagrantly and repeatedly flout rules in order to improperly impact the outcome of his case. The defendant has shown, in other words, that he cannot be trusted to abide by rules or conditions," prosecutors wrote in a submission that contained redactions.
