  1. I just saw your show today about Whitney canceling her shows, and not performing well at the ones she did show up at. Madonna does the same thing every time she goes on tour.

    They can’t lip-sink anymore.

    Times have changed. Whitney just didn’t take care of the give she was given, her voice, and a being born into a great family of singers.

    She picked a bad boy, and lost everything.

    Maybe some young talented person will see Whitney’s story, and think: Getting involved with that hot new thing, is just going to derail me from life.

  2. I never knew that about you Wendy I also have the same addiction that you had and I am taking it one day at a time but I agree with you because I felt the same way about Whitney and I think she may be still using like me taking it one day at a time because it is very hard to come out of something like addiction to cocaine

  3. hello my name is diquan williams i never thought that a reall diva such as whitney would say or blame the thing she did on some one else i really look at her different now and wendy you may have done the things in the past but you have truely came a long way i love you and i thank you for your support i love you and you are truely an inspiration to me.

  6. Hi Wendy,
    I feel compelled to comment about Whitney’s interview on Oprah Sept. 14, 2009. I know this comment is late; however, I don’t have access to a computer. First, let me commend you for admitting your battle with drugs and your continued sobriety. GOD is truly GOOD!!! I am a recovering addict who has suffered with the disease of addiction for 20 years. I am currently recovering with 2 years and 23 weeks clean. I’ve had two bouts of clean time (7 1/2 and 11 years respectively). Let me explain something to you. With my previous clean time, not one time did I admit that i was an addict. I thought my problem was just a drug problem. It wasn’t until I returned to recovery that I found out that my problem ran deeper than the drugs. It wasn’t until I finally surrendered, TOTALLY surrendered, that I did something different. In 12-step recovery, the addict gets in touch with what he/she suffers from and that is the disease of addiction, in addition to developing and maintaining a relationship with GOD. And it is a daily process: ONE DAY AT A TIME.
    Whitney is totally out of touch with the obsession and compulsion–the components that make up the disease of addiction. I agree with you, she did not take ownership of her addiction. She immensely minimized how serious her addiction is. If she believes that she can still take a drink, it’s just a matter of time that she will be lacing cocaine on marijuana again because ALCOHOL IS A DRUG.I’m not condoning none of Bobby Brown’s behavior, but Whitney did not take full accountability for her behavior. If she truly believes in GOD like she’s indicated, she will ask HIM to reveal to her the exact nature of her problem. One thing I know about this insidious disease, the moment you think you can do this alone, you are doomed to repeat the same behavior again. I pray that she will not return to the madness. But she must LEAVE IT ALL ALONE!!!!!! Again, Wendy, I appreciate your honesty, for honesty is one of ,many things an addict must do to maintain our recovery. May GOD continue to bless you. Keep up the good work in keeping us informed with your HOT TOPICS.

  7. I think that whitney is a strong woman. The man that she was with had a little to do with wut she went through but he’s not all to blame it takes two. Thank the lord she is in a better state of mind I commend her for her courage to speak on it maybe others can learn from her mistakes. Mrs. Whitney is a role model for all, no need to hate. I wish her the best of luck in her advances

  8. i think it was good and i think she should have admitted that she had a problem too wendy

  9. I am glad Whitney Houston did not end up a statistic; like so many other artists. Artist such as Michael Jackson, Elvis, or even Janis Joplin. I thank the Lord that she is alive to share her story and has the courage to share her experience with the world. I know that her assignment is not done here in fact this is the beginning of her work.
    I find it pathetic when random people are commenting on her relationship with R&B star Bobby Brown and the drugs. She is back and making amazing music once again; leave her alone already! Reading the pettiness of the comments posted here are pathetic. It goes to show you how unforgiving our world is. Whitney Houston sounds great, her new album is fantastic, and I believe her life story is inspiration to many. Clive Davis is successful for a reason . . . need I say more!
    Let’s give Whitney Houston a break and move on! Look within yourself and allow God to do a work in you then maybe you will have room to talk … but until then free yourself from the negative comments. Did you ever think that the voice changes after time? I can’t stand it when people are negative. I commend Whitney Houston she is strong and still the best voice of our generation! Look at the billboard charts. I support her and can’t wait for her to win yet another Grammy.

  10. WOW! amazing show so emotional. I just want to say that u were brave not everyone could talk about hurtful thing of that nature with that big of an audience watching it took courage that many don’t have. We all should be so brave more importantly we all have addictions it might be shopping, drugs, food, alcohol whatever one is not above another.SO GO GIRL!

  11. Kudos and love. your show and you are so refreshing and fun.My partner (of 40 years! “how you doin”) turned me on to you years ago and now we tape and enjoy every show every night. Your candor and your warmth make you irresistible (you are definitely my friend in my head.) and our brown Jayne Mansfield! I grew up vacationing in Asbury Park!
    PLEASE PLEASE be kinder to our treasure Whitney. I have to report that I am somewhat disappointed in your reaction to her return after the big buildup on your show. She needs love and support now more than ever. This goddess of “The Bodyguard” and “The Preacher’s Wife” is still vulnerable and we must help her get through this transition back in every way we can. I know you understand.
    P.S. Oprah’s interview seemed “dry” and too staged. Whitney deserves better like “The Wendy Williams Show”!! Also talk up the buzzed about sequel to “The Bodyguard” with Whitney which Kevin Kostner recently spoke of in a interview. If only! much love, your big fan ,Robert

  12. OMG I want the boots that Jacqui Stafford was wearing on todays’ show. Where do i get em or who are they made by :)

  13. Hi Wendy, I am so happy you have you own TV show. Remember listening to you of Kiss 104 FM in New York or when we would come back home to the Bronx from overseas (we were in the military know retired). Girl do your thing, you are the bom and I love you. I want to come to your show when I come to New York some time next year. Love you keep up the good work.

  14. Wendy you were wrong on this one. She let out what she wanted to let out. As we all would if in that same situation. I first heard of you with the Whitney interview from your radio show. It was a love hate thing then. Now its all love. I think you are the show that the others should watch out for. Im sure your ratings are through the roof. Your realness is a bright star, shining so brightly over your head. The little mistakes that are made are refreshing. Stay that way. I will see your 10th and 20th aniversary show. Go gurl. HOW U DOIN

  15. Hey Wendy How U doing. I just wanted to tell you That I commend you for Being honest.That show really made me look at you in a whole new way and it is for the better. I liked you before but now I really like you. You were honest and did not have to share your story with the world but you did.Keep up the good job I love your show and will continue to watch it everyday.

  16. Hi, Wendy!! You’ve always talked about your abuse with drugs and has also shared some of your life experiences all through your career. I feel you are being bashed by so many of Whitney’s fans because of your opinion that Whitney hasn’t owned her addiction. Many people feel that she has and you, just like everyone else, have their own opinion, there own take on the interview with Oprah. When Whitney was into her addiction everyone that called in your radio show was doing a lot of bashing and calling Whitney names and just down right dogging her. Now they’re her fans again? They’re applauding her comeback? I wonder how many of the same people were still supporting her while she was into her addction when they were tunning in to her and Bobby’s realty show? Yea, that’s a way of supporting her by seeing how she was acting and talking bad about her.

  17. I’m so glad you are on, the other girls (Oprah, Tyra) are so poticial correct they are not real like you. I like the way you relate its like listening and talking to my big sister. Girl You are very thing I want to be.

  18. How ya doin Wendy?
    Yes my real name is Love. I agree with you she did not own it and take her power back. Im 23 and had a coke habit. I wasnt extreme as yours as the fabulous Whitney but im happy to have closed the chapter in my life. Although my parents arent aware of my past my friends are because I tell them. I tell them to be real and honest with them. If I dont address that issue who’s to blame when a freind starts getting high as a giraffs a**. My story began loving a BOY who had a problem. He lied about it, until I accepted it and it wasnt long before I began to indulge. I like to tell my girls because it happens all the time especially messing around with broke, dirty KC (killer clowns, a term I use for unsucessful drug dealers). I was ashamed for my actions but I took my power back!!! It just scares me because she’s still exhibiting (excuse me) crackhead ways! Coke wasnt her drug Bobbi was? Get the f*** out of here. I see a relapse in the future.Thank you Wendy for being Wendy. You are fabulous. I love you in every way. Also, I love to gossip and build stories. Just a quick thought. How ironic was it when Usher divorced his wife after her terrible cosmetic surgery incident. Wendy, theres alot more under that dress and I mean hers. I think she got F****** UP and her body was ruined personally. Anywho, Love you.

  19. looking at this made me feel a little of your pain.i am 18 and my dad is on his way to being a recovering addict and he never owns it he never says this is my problem i got myself into this and i blame me he blames it on everyone and it irritates me because i want him to see that only he can help himself and he got himself in this not us i just send tons of love to you wendy for being strong and knowing that you control what you do
