Wendy Williams has made headlines once again with her bold remarks regarding Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest. Following his indictment on serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, the former talk show host shared her thoughts in an interview with the Daily Mail, published on October 1st.
Wendy expressed that many people, including family members, have told her she “called it.” Reflecting on Diddy’s long history of allegations, she stated, “It is about time to see this video on TV of Cassie getting pummeled,” referring to a 2016 surveillance clip that surfaced earlier this year, showing Diddy assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She described the footage as “horrific” and raised concerns about how many other victims might exist, emphasizing, “How many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible.”
Throughout her career, Wendy has discussed the power dynamics in relationships involving music moguls, particularly highlighting the challenges faced by women like Cassie. In a previous talk show segment, she noted the difficulty of navigating such relationships, mentioning how intimidating it can be when someone of Diddy’s stature can “pop up” at any moment.
Diddy and Cassie had an on-again, off-again relationship for a decade before officially separating in 2018. While Diddy initially denied the altercation captured in the 2016 video, he later acknowledged his actions following Cassie’s November 2023 lawsuit that detailed the incident. In a May Instagram video, he admitted, “I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My behavior in that video is inexcusable.”
Wendy’s comments have reignited conversations around the allegations against Diddy, with many applauding her candidness. As the situation continues to unfold, her reactions highlight the ongoing dialogue about accountability and the impact of power imbalances in relationships.
