  1. How do you justify saying Hank should divorce Kendra because of that sex tape and in the same breath put Kim on a pedastal and encourage her to marry Reggie? She made a sex tape with RayJ. and God only knows what else. A saint she is not. Kendra made some bad choices seven years ago that she truly regrets and is trying to turn her life around with her husband and new baby. Wendy, we have all made mistakes in the past including you so don’t judge and say Hank should divorce Kendra because of her past mistakes. Lil Hank deserves a Mommie and a Daddy to raise him just like Lil Kev needs you and Big Kev. You need to swallow a big girl pill and retrack that statement. People can and do change. Reflect back on your life Wendy. How U doin?

  2. That’s sooooo hard my ex’s mother calls and emails me. His nieces want me to take them out they’re 12 and 9. I’m always polite but I had to back off. It’s just gonna make it harder in the long run for everyone.

  3. i THINK THAT SOME PEOPLE WILL STILL BE AROUND SOME FAMILY MEMBERS CAUSE THEY WHERE CLOSEi HAVESEEN IT HAPPEN WENDEY,GLAD i HAVENT GOT CLOSE TO ANY MY EX FAMILY

  4. How U Doin’ ?
    I think that it is not ok to still communicate with your exs family. Unless you have kids.There is simply no reason for you to be there unless you still want to be with your ex. My boyfriend has an ex that does keep in contact with his teenage sisters and mother, and it bothers me because there is a possibility that she is trying to get back with him. Also he is a liar so you never know what the reasoning is. The only thing I can think of is people have jobs and lives and Im sure if I had a bf and I was still being in contact with my exs family regularly that I wouldnt be able to keep a man. I just think that its crazy. And Wendy is right. Most women are more sensitive and give more chances than men.

  5. once you go out with someone and it doesnt work out you leave his or her family alone theirs more fish in the sea thats not the only family of men or woman its just nasty from cindy bell

  6. Why does clothing manufacter’s/ designers make low rise jeans for females size 14 and over. Size 14 is pushing it over that unexceptable and unfair!

  7. Wendy:
    Why are you always talkin up Kim and the other hairy Kardashians, when I never hear any of them talkin up you, or giving you a plug?

  8. Wendy, I would really like to teach you how to use the DVR to tape your shows… I can’t believe you haven’t seen the past few weeks of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES and are missing everything that has happened…

    It would take FIVE minutes to show you how to do it… Then you can watch Brandy & Ray J, and still have the other show to watch at your leisure…

    It also means that you can tape shows when you aren’t home … 2 shows can tape simultaneously (as long as you aren’t watching anything.)

    I realize you are a woman “of a certain age” … However, I am about 16 years older than you are, so age has nothing to do with your abilities to learn a new technology.
    Please consider it … It would be my pleasure on my next trip to NY (May 19-26), and I am already planning to be in your audience (hopefully, I’ll be able to get tickets).

    Thank you … Love you (as do all my friends!!)

  9. Hi Wendy

    I have been married several times, and this question has reared its head more than once. It actually surfaced while I was still married to #2 because his previous wife was attempting to undermine him (and his happiness) by staying friendly with his sisters and creating problems.

    So, I say this… It is not good for you to make a person feel uncomfortable amidst their own family. I loved my 2nd husbands mother to death… I miss her more than I ever thought about missing him, and I know she was very fond of me. I would never have wanted her to feel torn about keeping in touch with me – and I never communicated with her again after he & I broke up. It was not (to me) the right thing to do.

    I would feel differently about staying in touch if we’d had children, but we didn’t.

  10. Where ever a child acts up—–thats where he or she gets it. Call police or 3, 4 other persons. When I can not spank my child, you take care of them!!!!!!!

  11. Hi

  12. Hello Wendy / Staff,

    My name is Tara Myers, I’m a 35 year old Loss Mitigation Specialist for a mortgage company. I cannot remember when your show with actress Stacey Dash aired, but I recall being hooked on her every word. I admired Stacey’s honesty & vulnerabilty, when it came to her insecurities, body image, single parenthood, & relationships. She is breath-takingly-gorgeous…& a woman with all her attributes has no need to be insecure. It made me proud that even a woman who we as the general public view as “Blessed by the Gene Gods” has issues & is brave enough to admit them. I felt human again (very humbling for me) I thank you Wendy / Staff for being true, inspiring, & down right entertaining……Thank you & …………………..

    HOW YOU DOIN’

  13. Dear Wendy,

    I am a priest, musician, healing minister and a Prof. of Counseling Psychology. Your show has gone a long way to support our survey on “Keeping Human Relationships Together: Self Guide to Healthy Living [Studies in Spiritual Psychology]” published by iUniverse. I have not seen a priest invited to your show and how I wished I had. I would appreciate our fan take note of this 432 paged book to assist them enjoy their relationships for “there is no magic or miracle in a relationship one is not ready to maintain or keep”. Remember: Sex has no Church, religion, no U-Turn – let our young ones trust their nature and capacity to live.

  14. I am trying to get tickets but i apply is saying my pic to big please help i want to come see your show

  15. HOW YOU DO’N?!?!?!

    Well i think that if you don’t tell your boyfriend now that the family you love is your exs… he might never find out, but on the other hand i would tell him because then he would be like pulling the,”Why can’t you tell me anything” thing on you and you wouldn’t like that, so Wendy i totaly agree with you… but only if your boyfriend now doesn’t like them…

  16. I am still friends with my ex’s family

  17. How u doin’ Wendy! :)

    I am in agreement with a few comments posted here about remaining close with your ex’s family! I too am in this situation and it has been workin all these years! I have known this family since I was 18 years old and just because my ex and I are no longer together, his family and myself just didnt see fit to just drop everything! In fact, one of his sisters was the one who initiated to keep in contact and she left it totally up to me….I could walk away or stay connected…….I chose to stay connected….there were kids involved who have become my “nieces and nepehws” I have been there since they all were born…they know me as “titi” (spanish for aunt) and i just cant cast them aside! Even his mother still considers me a “daughter” and my mom is apart of this also!!! :) The other reason why this is working is because “WE” both have moved on! My ex is now married to a great woman…I even met her and she and I didnt feel threatened at all! We got along great, she knew who i was! So, I believe it can work, it is just up to the “new” person in your life and how “secure” they really are! :)

  18. no no no BAD NEWS

    HOW YOU DO’N WENDY!!!

  19. I have been in situations like that and I still am, my first husband, he is deceased now,
    but I still stay involve with his family and my present husband has meet members of his family and he loves them dearly. I think it is how the man feels about his self, because that should not effect him. That’s like taking apart of your life away. Why should a person throw away apart of their past. As long as there is respect, then it should not matter.

  20. I am in a similar situation, me and my are now divorced but I am still good friends with his sister who I talk to everyday and have a good relationship even though he is now remarried, but I don’t think his new wife likes the idea because she refused to come to my ex-sister-in-laws daughters baby shower. I also have two sons by my ex so she also keeps in touch with my boys so what can you do.
