Confessions of a Radio Drama Queen

THE WENDY WILLIAMS EXPERIENCE...I AM HOOKED!

SHE IS SMART, PLAYS THE PIANO ALMOST LIKE A PRO, FIESTY, BUT STILL ADORES HER SON AND HUSBAND. SHE IS JUST FA-BU-LOUS!

YOU HAVE TO GIVE HER PROPS, SHE IS DOIN' IT FOR HERSELF.

Wendy is the epitome of us all in some way or another. A lot of times she says what we are thinking but too afraid to say! Bottom line she serves the purpose of ENTERTAINING. How YOU doin'!

-Tracea-May

Well, it's obvious why she talks so negatively about beautiful, and talented celebrities. She's insecure with herself. If she weren't why the need for all of the plastic surgery? And I'm sorry, but she still looks like a dude in drag!
