*Wendy Williams is known to get a reaction out of folks for what she says, but the former radio personality’s daytime talk show is in the line of fire after comments made about singer Ariana Grande.
Media sources report that the hashtag #CancelWendyWilliams started trending on Twitter after social media users caught wind of Williams’ not so flattering commentary on her show about the way Grande looks.
“She’s 21; she’ll forever look 12,” Williams said. “And I don’t mean that in a good way. I mean that in a … you know, it’s nice to look younger than you are, but when you look too young, and then you’re short, she’s only like 4 feet 11! I don’t look at her as like a woman.”
From there it was on as #CancelWendyWilliams began trending Thursday night (Aug. 13). Check out one of many tweets directed at Williams for body shaming Grande:
