Actress Janet Hubert lashed out recently at Wendy and
called her a bully due to the things she said about Whitney Houston over the
course of their careers. Janet Hubert thinks Wendy Williams is a big ole bully
and should stop spreading rumors about celebrities. She thinks Wendy was
especially cruel to Whitney Houston throughout the course of her
life.
Here's an excerpt from the letter written after Wendy
broke down during her show about the death of Whitney:
Dear
Wendy,
This past weekend was a very
difficult time for so many of us.
I watched the funeral service with
the rest of the world, and cried time and time again with each story that was
told. I felt like I knew more about this amazing woman than ever before. We all
watched her as a little girl, center stage, singing like a bird, she was
destined for superstardom. To watch her center stage full circle in death was a
feeling no mother should ever have to feel. I applaud Ms. Warwick, the pastor,
and all others who formed a police line of love and protection around her that
was impenetrable only to those who really knew her. We, the public accepted
their decision to keep it private, but they allowed us to witness her Home Going
ceremony, I don’t know if I could have been so gracious. WE felt like we knew
her and we knew nothing about her except what we read and hear from people like
you and other media outlets. I listened to her interview with you and was
compelled to say out loud. “Go on Whitney tell her like it is,” when you pried
into her life back then. I had my son in the same year as Ms. Houston; we did
Ebony Magazine that same year, she introducing her baby girl and me my son. I am
trying to be dignified, but here goes.
The Internet has become somewhat
like the 10 commandments, and this is why… whatever is posted or commented on…
is forever written in stone. Neither I nor anybody can stop anyone from making
up stories, reviews, lies etc, cutting and pasting whatever they decide to put
together like a bad buffet breakfast.
I have had some horrible meals
shoved down my throat on the web that I had no parts
of.
I still have a bad taste in my mouth
from a recent cut and paste meal from your beloved TMZ (THE MUDSLINGING ZONE). I
believe you said once “If you heard it on TMZ then it must be true,” really
Wendy?
The Internet is indeed the
information highway, but it can also be “a Forum of
Hate.”
Though I never knew Whitney Houston,
I felt a profound sense of loss and sadness. On Sunday morning I took my dog for
a walk in the park across the street and still could not shake the sadness I
felt. I wondered if what I was feeling was perhaps related to losing my mother
and brother this past year, but then I thought no, it was something
else.
You (Wendy Williams) said that
morning with tears in your eyes, that you would not discuss Whitney any further,
but you crucified her the whole time she was alive, as you do so many people on
your show. I want to ask you why? What do you get out of this besides
money?
How do you sleep at night knowing
that you are one of the biggest bullies in the world disguised as HOT TOPICS?
Celebrities are not topics we are people, just like everyone else, we hurt and
we hear and we bleed real blood, not fake blood, just as you
do.
How do we as parents teach our
children to honor each other, treat each other with kindness when all they see
are images of people like you who condone and promote meanness, rude reality TV
stars, and your opinion as you berate world renowned people like Janet Jackson,
Gwyneth Paltrow, and others you slam on a daily
basis.
I keep asking myself why no one is
saying anything about this. What the hell are they afraid of? Where are my
sisters out there who feel as I do?
Well Wendy, I try to teach my son to
stand up, shout, and scream when there is injustice. Yeah yeah, I know, I have
been screaming for years and will continue to do so as long as there are images
that depict black women as neck shaking, over bearing women who can’t get
along.
A sister, a mother, a daughter, a star, left
this world way too early; she was loved by the world. The world mourned, I don’t
think that we needed you to try and take down another brilliant sister on that
following Monday morning. (Your rude comments about Janet Jackson)
You started right back up without hesitation or
pause… you need to stop Wendy. We need to stop, and the world needs to stop. I
need to stop as well. There will be no more quotes from me to be misquoted. We
need to join together, wrap our arms around our children, everybody’s children.
Remember you have a child who will suffer every slingshot and arrow that gets
thrown back at you Wendy; our public lives greatly affect our
children.
I know I am going to suffer some arrows for writing
this letter to you, I know you are loved by many, but remember this Wendy; they
love you when you are up and they love to take you down. You will not always be
up, you will not always be on the A list and attend all the parties. Ride the
wave sister girl, but make sure you know how to swim when the ride is over.
Artists are survivors, we work hard to build our crafts and careers and I ask
that you simply remember that in the future.
I’m just sayin’ it like l mean it
too.
Janet Hubert
