Wendy Williams has resurfaced to share her thoughts following the recent arrest of music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

Amid many controversies surrounding Diddy, including multiple lawsuits and allegations, the former daytime TV star is speaking out, suggesting that more disturbing claims could soon surface.

Williams, known for her no-nonsense style and candid takes, has long been critical of the Bad Boy Records founder. In her heyday, she publicly discussed issues surrounding Diddy, even hinting that her criticism of him led to her being blackballed from her radio job at New York’s Hot 97.

Despite her health challenges keeping her out of the spotlight for several years, she has not shied away from addressing the current legal turmoil surrounding Diddy.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Williams expressed shock at the mounting allegations and noted that many people are telling her, ‘You called it.’ The host, who has faced public pressure from fans to comment on the ongoing situation, described the allegations against Diddy as ‘horrific’ and admitted to being deeply concerned about how many more women could step forward with accusations.

Williams also referenced the disturbing hotel surveillance footage involving Diddy and his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, which has surfaced in light of the case. She described her reaction as one of relief that the truth has come out, yet horror at what the footage depicted.

While Wendy previously commented on Diddy and Cassie’s relationship during her show, noting their split in 2018, her current stance is far more critical. She recalled her earlier warnings about the power dynamics involved when dating someone as influential as Diddy, suggesting that such relationships often come with intense control.
