The BeyHive Won’t Like This: Wendy Williams Says Beyonce Sounds Like She Has A Fifth Grade Education

Wendy, Wendy Wendy. The daytime talk show host may have hit her hottest topic of all this week when she brought up Beyonce’s new HBO documentary. Though Wendy considers herself a member of the Beyhive, she had to tell it like it t-i-s when it comes to King Bey and her lack of grammatical flair. Speaking on her anticipation for the special, Wendy served up a side of nice helping of shade when she said:

I am a Beyonce fan. I’m gonna be watching this documentary cause fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I’ll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyonce can’t talk. Beyonce sounds like she has a fifth grade education. She can’t talk. Honestly. We really do have the closed captioning for times like that.

I want to say dang, Wendy, but I can’t. You know why? Because the truth is, she ain’t lying.

Bey does a lot of things well — perfect even (don’t hate on that booty pop!) — but speaking just is not one of them. I mean hey, we can’t all be perfect, we just have to stay in our lane and speaking, unfortunately, is not Bey’s. I think she knows it so hopefully there won’t be too many confessionals in this special. As long as she’s not staring in her laptop camera again talking about “sometimes I wonder why God gave me this gift” I can rock with her documentary — no closed captioning hopefully.

What do you think about Wendy’s Bey shade?

    Hmmm I am thinkin about this because you might actually have a point. But the problem is how do you then explain her writing? (including her tumblr notes and letter to Michelle)

    Wendy Williams… please note that in real life your hairline does not come before or under your part.. So now we know it’s a wig and you put it on wrong..

    Well, maybe she can’t speak all that well but she certainly can get $50 million dollar deals. Luckily I don’t need her to talk to me. Wendy is just a water.

  • Trixie

    Wendy is right. I admire her speaking the truth and about another black person. So taboo in Hollyweird. I won’t listen to beyonce speak. It almost killed my dog one time. The kid is also fugly let’s get real. Also Jayzeeeeee is a drug dealing racist.

    I am an English Professor at a State College in my state. I have heard Ms. Knowles speak on several occasions and her command of the English language is spot on. She is articulate and well spoken. She uses regional dialect (colloquialism) like most of us, but a fifth grade speaking vocabulary comment by Ms Williams was intended to hurt and grab attention. It saddens me that a women this age would use her forum as a bully pulpit! For me this comment says more about Ms. Williams than Ms Knowles!

    • Just saying!!

      What college do you speak at?

      • Just saying!!

        **or teach at rather

      Well said Professor Kerr.

    • AfricanAtlantian

      WTF?! Sounds like a marauding Bey-Stan has started flaunting credentials. I know of plenty of education professionals (including professors) who are idiots….

  • Co-Co Diva

    Wendy is freakin hilarious….

  • FromUR2UB

    Well, Beyonce may not have a gift for speech, but she has made the most of every other gift and opportunity she was given. If it’s simply about truth, some people think Wendy Williams looks like a man. So if she’s going to throw a stone she’d better be able to take one.

    “Bey does a lot of things well — perfect even (don’t hate on that booty pop!)” Is this what Black people should consider as being perfect?

    • scandalous7

      thank you very much

    • AfricanAtlantian

      Amen,… “Well well!”

      Someone’s trying to a start church up in here.

  • BAP

    hell she do sound like a 5th grader,maybe even below but she JSUT SMART ENOUGH to make herself a billionaire so i guess she can be clueless in other arenas

  • Guest

    It’s just the truth!! Luckily she can change that anytime she gets ready by determining to focus on being a better speaker and getting help for it. Many celebrities came on the scene sounding raggedy and got speech and allocution lessons and now we can at least understand them.

    Slow news day. Next.

  • LewisOne

    Beyonce is the beautiful performer. Solange is probably the brains (it appears that she reads). God is the great equalizer…..you can’t have everything.

    • TRUTH IS

      God is the great equalizer…I love this…..isnt that the truth!!

  • Ladybug94

    Well she is correct on this point.

  • kr

    allegedly she didn’t get her GED and surprising she reached so much success. Y we didn’t know sooner..Mathew Knowles the JOE JACKSON of the 21st century

    I like Beyonce but she can’t speak well at all. Everytime she’s about to do an interview, I cringe. A couple years ago, she did an interview with Latina Magazine, where she said that she wishes she was born Latina. Of course, black people went off. It wasn’t that she wished she was born Latina, the girl doesn’t know how to speak or express herself well in interviews. Her dad, as a manager should have picked up on this. She needs diction classes ASAP and it’s def. not the accent. She sounds uneducated when she speaks. My 3 year old daughter can form sentences and express herself better.
