Wendy Williams Addresses Husband’s Sex Tape Rumors, ‘The Casting Couch’ & Reconciling With Diddy
Back in her shock jock days, Wendy Williams use to give her listeners all of the hottest tea when it came to celeb gossip. Unfortunately, the tables quickly turned on her in 2008 when her radio show’s producer accused her husband Kevin Hunter of sexual assault which resulted in lawsuits and Wendy being the subject of online gossip daily. Around the same time, screen caps from a sex tape featuring a man that looked strikingly similar to Kevin where emailed to blogs from her email account and quickly circulated the internet.
Since then, the lawsuit has been settled and swept under the rug and Wendy has gone on to do big things like launching her own television show and pulling a few endorsement deals. She recently stopped by Bay Area Radio Station Wild 94.9 to talk about the upgrades to her show this season (which will be filmed in a new studio and will now feature a panel of experts during ‘Hot Topics’) and things got real awkward, real fast when she was asked about that sex tape. Before she could answer, her hubby quickly stepped in and said ‘No’ and the interview seemed as though it was about to be killed on spot. [Kevin is kind of scary...]. Wendy responded:
“If there was any of the above, we wouldn’t be sitting here right now. No, absolutely not. People will always, for the rest of my life, throw darts at my situation. They will throw — and we explained this to our son — they will throw them at him, they’ve thrown them at me in all of my career, my husband. He know what he was getting involved with, but it takes a special kind of man to be with a ‘Wendy Williams.’”
Wendy also spoke on her rise to fame without having to use the ‘casting couch’ during the interview and hinted that things are better between her and Diddy. [In one of her books, she alleged that he had her fired from Hot 97 back in the day and tried to ruin her.

On her rise to fame without having to sleep her way to the top
“Yes it was very hard and I never had to do the casting couch and I say that with pride. I know that women get ahead in many ways in this world particularly in entertainment where if you’ve just got a pair of legs and a pair of boobs, all of a sudden the casting couch is available. It’s not about being the hottest or whatever, it’s about being a willing participant and wanting something that men will dangle a carrot in front of. For me, I wanted to be Wendy on the radio, I didn’t want to be some guy’s sidekick. All due respect to sidekicks, my personality a little too strong to be sitting up under some man’s foot.
On her beef with Diddy
I’m over it. I’m over it in a good way and he’s also over it. We’ve seen each other socially and that may be something you see this season on the show. Sometimes you need absolute growth and supreme peace in your own life and make peace with people that you didn’t even want to be in the same room with. That’s where I am right now..
Well good for her. She had made strides on her talk show. However because of her VICIOUSNESS as a radio host. And Another thing The "HOW U DUIIN" Moniker she has adopted and we all love so much. Was not a loving endearment to the LGBTQ Community as it is today. It was originally a "SLUR" against many Hip Hop artists she interviewed on the radio. If she thought they were Gay. She say would during the interview "HOW U DUIIN" to alarm the audience that she thinks the person is Gay in a "negative" manner. She has burned many bridges! That is why she will NEVER have A-List talent to interview. But hey she survived it all!
I don't her because of how nasty she was in the past. She had no reason to be that way to people. Now she doesn't understand why people are like that with her. She needs to look in the mirror and ask herself that question. Karma is only a bitch when you have been a bitch!
