Wendy Williams seemed far from “incapable” during her recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, so much so that she offered her take on the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking and racketeering.
The former talk show host made her first live appearance since a Lifetime documentary and gave fans a glimpse into her life after her frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. Williams called into the show on Thursday, January 16, with Charlamagne Tha God — the former co-host of Wendy's radio show — revealing she called in because she was “trapped in a conservatorship” and could not leave the place where she was.
During his interview, Williams addressed Sean “Diddy” Combs' ongoing legal issues for the first time, predicting he would be in prison for the rest of his life.
“Diddy is going to prison for life, folks,” she said, before adding, “You don't know what I knew about Diddy back then.”
Williams continued: “You know what? It's about time, folks. It's about time. Diddy's done.
Throughout her career, she has been a vocal critic of the Bad Boy founder, questioning his allegedly controlling behavior with his then-girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, during an episode of The Wendy Williams Show in 2015 , according to Page six.
“My favorite thing about dating a mogul is that it's really hard to avoid him, because if you use your head, you never know when he's going to appear on the scene,” Williams said. at the time.
“He’s a tycoon!” For example, he can rent a plane right away, fly it to South Africa, land on the roof of the hotel where she's staying, pay the people at the front desk, 'Give me the key and let me to go up to his room.'
She added that being in the same situation would make her “paranoid.”
The former talk show host also claimed in her 2004 memoir: The Wendy Williams Experiencethat Diddy “single-handedly tried to ruin his career” after playing a role in his firing from Hot 97 in 1998.
“The hell he put me through. I will never forget,” she wrote at the time. “But I don’t hate him.”
