How YOU Doing? Celebrities Who’ve Publicly Slammed Wendy Williams Over The Years

Gayle King

Gayle King actually had to call Wendy a liar in 2011. After King went to CBS to co-host the The Early Show, Wendy Williams claimed that Oprah wasn’t feeling that move and that the two had a falling out. However, soon after, Wendy read a letter on her show that she said was from Oprah, which refuted claims of issues between the two besties. However, King did an interview with the Tom Joyner Morning Show soon after and said that Wendy never received any type of letter from Lady O:

“The letter that I heard Wendy read – I didn’t see it – I know Oprah never wrote a letter to Wendy. I said [to Winfrey] ‘I’m getting all these messages that you wrote a letter to Wendy,’ and she goes, ‘Gayle, you know more than anybody knows that that’s not true,’ number one. Number two, when Wendy was saying, ‘You know, I think it’s gonna put a dent in their friendship?’ When this opportunity was presented to me – and make no mistake; it is an opportunity – the first people I talked to were Oprah, my son and my daughter. And I said, ‘I don’t know; I don’t know. They approached me, but I don’t even know if I should entertain it,’ … [Winfrey} said, ‘Are you kidding? This is so what you do, the news is what you love … you would be crazy to pass it up!'”

Wendy would later say that she had no reason to lie and that she got the letter from someone in Oprah’s camp named Chelsea Hettrick.
