Wendy Williams is catching a lot of heat for the Aaliyah biopic, and too many more controversial comments quips and tea spills to count. But no matter how much heat comes for the Wendy Williams camp we all love to hate Wendy Williams and here’s why.

She’s A New York Institution
Fans who’ve only seen the Wendy Williams show are late to the game. Wendy’s been a gossip and controversy staple since her Hot 97 days in the early 90s. New York wouldn’t be the same without her.

She’s Everyone’s Favorite Girlfriend
Because she’s one of the best kinds of girlfriend: the kind that lets you pretend to be shocked while she says all the scandalous things you’ve been thinking.

She’s The Real Teflon Don
Wendy Williams is a lot of things and unstoppable is one of them. She’s made a lot of powerful enemies over the years. And recently she dished about the time in 1990 when Bill Cosby tried to get her fired for discussing his rape allegations way back then: “My own boss turned on me like a wild pit bull, called me in his office in the middle of … the morning broadcast and Cosby is on the speaker phone. Cosby dressed me down and called me everything but a daughter of God.”

She’s Proud to Be Wendy
Talk about the rough patches in her marriage, her plastic surgery, wigs or 5’11” frame. Wendy Williams is so not bothered she probably brought it up first. And that kind of self-assured confidence is a role model that more women need.

She Might Be The New Oprah
Oprah and Wendy might never be BFFs after that letter Wendy read on the show turned out to not be from Oprah at all. But there’s no denying that the Wendy Williams show is in the best spot to be an Oprah successor — with slightly more emphasis on juicy celebrity gossip.

The Wendy Williams Show Is Only Getting Bigger
Just a few months into it’s sixth season, The Wendy Williams Show hit a series syndication high at 2.33 million viewers. And we don’t think anyone going to stop tuning in any time soon.

She Has A Lot Of Good Friends In Hollywood
Was anyone else shocked when Wendy said she wasn’t going to publish those pictures of Nahla’s straightened hair because she and Halle are good friends? Wendy may be a habitual line stepper, but she never goes completely off script.

She Can Tell A Story Like Nobody Can
When Wendy leans into the camera and spills all the dirty details of the tea, it feels like you’re right there when it’s happening. And we don’t know many other talk show hosts who have that kind of charisma.

She’s A Habitual Line Stepper
And that’s why we love her. Every time a headline starts with “Wendy Williams Crossed The Line Again” about a million fingers click because we can’t wait to see what she says next.

She’s Not Afraid To Be Politically Incorrect
When Wendy recently came under fire for bringing up Bruce Jenner’s alleged trans… situation (that every Kardashian fan has been dying to discuss) Wendy didn’t back down one bit:
“People hear what they want to hear, not what was actually said. Listen, I’m a friend to a lot of communities. You know, I call things as I see them and that’s that.”
