Go Wendy!

[DaytimeFan]

Go Wendy! Those ratings of hers are nothing to scoff at. I have long said that she is next Oprah...not in terms of the show itself and the tone and her reach per se, but just as Oprah captured the zeitgeist, so has Wendy. She launched at exactly the right moment.

I love her show. I love her. How you doin?

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Cheap I stared at your sig for 6 straight minutes just now and it was great. She's perf!

[Cheap21]

She is! lol. And for you

[YRBB]

That flat, cow-licked, dark hair doesn't suit her at all.

[Cheap21]

Did anyone see her shade the hell out of Suzanne yesterday? What a bitch!

Cut to 20:50. Damn, that was SHADE


Wendy keeps playing with her. She better watch it before Suzanne writes a tell all in a few years when this show is done

[Mr. Vixen]

Who is Suzanne? Lol I'll have to watch the video when I get home

[Cheap21]

one of the producers on her show. Wendy is always shading her and Suzanne is a trooper and goes with it but it comes across as mean at times, especially this one. The audience's reaction to the shade made it even worse. Wendy did a nice save but the look on her face after and you could tell she knew she was messed up for that comment

[Mr. Vixen]

Wow that was rude! Suzanne is gonna write a tell all, you're right!

[Cheap21]

Its one of those things where you have to stop and pause and go "did she really just say that?" I was completely caught off guard

[NothinButAttitude]

Suzanne should've channeled her inner Whitney Houston and dragged Wendall's ass from here to west Hell. Wendall wouldn't've came at me like that. Her wig would've been snatched by the read I would've given her.

And I just don't watch Wendy's show anymore. She tries to come off as high brow now that she gets guests like Jennifer Lopez and few other A listers. I hate how she looks down on reality shows (especially the housewives) when they helped build her audience. Regardless how I feel about Nene, she is one of the main ones that helped Wendall build an audience.

Furthermore, I hate when she has guests on the show and she is not prepped beforehand. I watched her interview with Taraji a few minutes ago and she was a hot ass mess. Wendy kept effing up the plotline of Empire, which Taraji constantly corrected her until she just took over altogether, and Wendy was more focused about her personal life instead. Taraji told her she was single and content. Not everyone wants to be married, Wendy. Especially when your marriage ain't squeaky clean. Everyone knows how Kevin (her hubby) is a notorious cheat and a d*ck (allegedly) .

Dang you went in on her. I have to admit, her show isnt as good as it used to be bc she plays it too safe and she keeps talking about sh-t I dont give a crap about (Tori and Dean, Kendra, etc...). Notice she doesnt really talk much about the black based reality shows anymore (RHOA, Love and Hip Hop) but she does with those

I havent watched todays show yet but she talked about Empire yesterday and said Taraji is the Joan Collins of the show. Is that an accurate description? LOL

[YRBB]

Yes, Taraji is the equivalent of Alexis! Cheap, you haven't watched EMPIRE yet? What???? Get your ass over to a TV or online ASAP and enjoy the splendor that is EMPIRE!!!
