Wendy Williams isn't the most tactful of TV talk show hosts, but an incident on her show left even the most seasoned Wendy fans with their jaws on the floor out of shock and disbelief.
While beginning a segment about TikTok star Swavy, Williams lead the audience and other players on her show through a stream-of-consciousness wild goose chase, where she compared her own followers to Swavy's, and then ultimately revealed to the audience that he was murdered.
I don\u2019t say this lightly but this is the most unhinged Wendy moment everhttps://twitter.com/alextmcnair/status/1412945070802841607\u00a0\u2026— adam (@adam) 1625787118

No one does it like this woman. I\u2019m not saying it should be done like this woman but wow\u2026. Wendy is one of one.https://twitter.com/alextmcnair/status/1412945070802841607\u00a0\u2026— CHRIS KLEMENS (@CHRIS KLEMENS) 1625787634
Immediately leading right up to the moment she revealed he was murdered, Williams took a very long stare at Swavy, leading the audience to laugh because of the awkwardness of the moment.
People were absolutely shocked at Williams' overstated lack of empathy and weirdly competitive vibes with the young man, who was killed at the age of 19.

wendy williams still the undisputed queen of the type of television they use in a horror/sci-fi movie to communicate that the world is a dystopian nightmarehttps://twitter.com/AlexTMcNair/status/1412945070802841607\u00a0\u2026— Ryan (@Ryan) 1625782603
Swavy, whose real name was Matima Miller, was taken to the hospital on Monday, July 5th, after being shot, and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
His family has set up a memorial fund in his name. It has raised approximately $23,000 of its $30,000 goal.
The way Wendy Williams introduced that story about that TikTok star's passing was offensive. I swear she still thinks she is on the radio with the way she discusses the news. She has always had a very dark spirit.— \ud835\udc35\ud835\udc52\ud835\udcb8\ud835\udcb8\ud835\udcb6 (@\ud835\udc35\ud835\udc52\ud835\udcb8\ud835\udcb8\ud835\udcb6) 1625795021
Hell is actually just being in the Wendy Williams live studio audience.— James Willems (@James Willems) 1625855065
Somebody\u2019s really gotta talk to Wendy Williams about the order in which you release informationhttps://twitter.com/phrenologylover/status/1381757409857789952\u00a0\u2026— Chase Mitchell (@Chase Mitchell) 1625843084
Wendy Williams will have a lot to answer for one day. \n\nAnd it\u2019s always made me uncomfortable that a lot of the people she targets for nastiness are Black and so much of her audience is white.— A Fine Artist (@A Fine Artist) 1625785303
