  1. Hi. I must say when I seen the episode where you talked about Kendra and said that her Husband should Divorce her, I was really hurt. You are a public figure in the media community about celebrity lives and to out Kendra and her Family like that was uncalled for. You have your opinions of people, TRUE, but that was too bold. She was young. She was young. SHE WAS YOUNG. Everybody has done something I are not proud of a one point of their young life(also now). She made it perfectly clear on her show that it was not what she thought would ever come back on her like this. I respect people marriages. That is something that needs to be respected.

    I’m not sure about “how you doing” now.

  2. How you doin everybody?

    Ok, I watched the moms judging moms show and I Wendy didn’t say this one but, I hope she will go back to it. I hate when I see moms breastfeeding a 5 and 6yr. OMG!!!!!!! People really!
    It is not about you moms, it is about those kids so get them off your boobs!

    Thank you,

    Tiff

  3. Wendy,

    I love and watch your show everyday. I usually agree with everything you say. However, I was deeply offended and hurt by your vaccine comment. My son is vaccine injured as so many other children are, hence, vaccine court.

    Vaccine Court ruled in favor of Hannah Poling. They ruled that vaccines did indeed cause her autism I also know another boy, who was five when he got his MMR. He was fine until then. Within days he developed fever, and uncontrollable seizures. Now he has a tube in his throat, stomach, has brain damage, autism, can’t speak, can’t eat. I can forward you his website if you wish.

    You shouldnt have gone there. You can’t compare “a toddler sleeping in mommy’s bed” to the topic of vaccines.

    You are lucky little Kev is a typical healthy boy. My son has autism and was negatively affected by vaccines.

    Shame on you. You should do more research before you make a comment on something like this. Talk to Holly Robinson!!!!!

  4. Wendy! First of all I want to say I love you and am a huge fan, but I feel that your comment about Hank and Kendra was very hypocritical! Not necessarily because of what you said, you are entitled to your opinion just like everyone else, but what bothered me was the fact that you’ve had Kendra on your show and you were all “laughy” and friendly with her, then all of a sudden you dog her about her mistake she made some years ago. And even if she made the mistake yesterday, I think it was wrong of you to trash talk her after being all smiles in her face only a few weeks ago. That’s stuff we did in highschool, this generation today would call it “two-faced.”

  5. In saying that Kendra’s husband should divorce her due to a videotape that she made YEARS before she met him: why don’t you EVER address the fact that you forgave your husband who cheated on you and VIDEOTAPED HIS SEXUAL ENCOUNTER WITH ANOTHER FEMALE DURING THE COURSE OF YOUR MARRIAGE? As you made your decision to work on your marriage through this unpleasant shock, why not let Hank Baskett make the decision to maintain his marriage for something Kendra did BEFORE they ever even met? If you can deal with your husband after what he did to you, let Hank deal with his wife whatever way he sees fit.

  6. WENDY,YES A CHILD SHOULD HAVE HIS/HER OWN BED BY THE AGE 4. I LIVE IN A 1 BEDROOM WITH MY SON. HE’S 13. MY SON SLEEPS ON A SOFA/BED. NOW WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER EVERY NOW AND THEN EARLY IN THE MORNING HE WOULD COME AND GET IN MY BED (AGES4-7) THAT’S JUST SOMETHING LITTLE KIDS DO AND HOPEFULLY GROW OUT OF LIKE MY SON DID.MY SON PROBABLY WAS TO TIRED BECAUSED I MADE HIM GET INVOLVED WITH SPORTS AND MUSIC. IM GULTY OF LOOKING AT TEETH AND HAIR UNACCEPTABLE BUT IM NOT GOING TO ANNOUNCE IT. LOW INCOME? MEDICAID PAYS FOR DENTAL CARE!! DONT CALL MY HHOUSE LOL LOL

  7. I have to say Wendy I love your show and I am watching it as I’m typing this comment…. I love Kendra and Hank and for you to say he needs to divorce her because of that sex tape your wrong… First of all everyone makes mistakes and should be forgiven, you cannot judge a person on their past, but you can however take a look at where they are now and you will either see the good in them or dwell on the bad things that they have done in their past. She was 18, and I’m sure had no Idea what her future was going to be like when she made that tape. At her age now, and as a mother and a wife she is wonderful. People do change, and Hank knew the extent of her sexuality before he married her…. Love conquers all. your advise has been heard and hopefully ignored by Hank… Hank is the only one that can call the shots on this and if he loves his wife this to shall pass…. Only God can judge.

  8. Hello,

    I would like to commence by stating I love the advice you give at the end of your show. Very intuitive.

    However, I thought introducing the topic about judging mothers was smart until you stated: “Unless you’re discussing hot topics.” Seriously?? It was a very hypocritical statement and it really diluted the very importance of mothers raising their children without feeling the constant need of approval from other mothers.

    It would have been nice if you used your platform to strongly exercise that and did more research about the answers you gave instead of basing the topic around your tenets.

  9. I can not believe the utter disrespect that comes out of your mouth. Stick to your Hot Topics and leave the important issues to the people who actually think. I am a tacher who homeschools her vaccination injured child. Thank you for your judgement but you should take your own advice and KEEP IT TO YOURSELF, I didn’t ask you for your senseless opinion.

  10. And one last thing, it’s one thing to go over your hot topic tabloid stuff and state your opinion – Like I said, if you are a celebrity then you have put yourself out there. But when you start judging your viewing audience – Not cool. Try to remember why you got signed on after your sneak peek.

    Peace -

  11. I am really disappointed that you criticized homeschooling based on your opinions and not facts, you forgot to do your homework! All my kids pre-school years teaching was done at home….when we got ready to go to public school , they wanted my first child to skip a grade and move on up, when my second child started school we were notified that she had scored int the top 3% of the state on the standardize test and wanted to futher test to see if she was gifted or home taught, and my 3rd child’s kindergarten teacher said she wish all the kids in her class had attended the same pre-school program that my daughter had , she was so much more advance than the other kids, she was stunned to find out my daughter was home taught…..All my kids attended public schools until they were in the 9th grade…..My son graduated from public school in the top 10 of his class, that was what was best for him…..both my daughters ended up being homeschooled for their high school years, that was what was best for them. Please walk in my shoes before you choose to judge me….Remember all the negative comments you are getting judging you , is because you chose to judge others.

  12. And regarding the homeschool thing? Since you are so critical of the parents who “do that” to their children, why don’t you get an entire audience of homeschool parents and kids – and then have a conversation with them? Every home schooled child I have met are well rounded and so bright. Like most things, there are clubs – by us, it’s called a Co-op – and the kids all get together with other kids. They put on plays, musicals etc….. If you haven’t had your son or someone in your family home schooled, you shouldn’t judge. It’s normal for people to judge, unfortunately.

    Don’t you think people judge you when you say that people like Kendra and Hank Baskett should get a divorce? Your husband cheated on you, something that you share with us, so for Kendra to make a sex tape – toss her? Why didn’t you toss Kevin? Because each person has their OWN story and it’s the couple who chooses what to do. Just like you and your husband did.

  13. Wendy,

    Yesterday’s show seemed a bit hypocritical – One minute you say you don’t judge – but then you rattle off a bunch of things. And then you get upset for people judging you? I don’t get it. You are in the public eye, so you put yourself out there.

    You know how something bugs you when you hear it over and over? It’s not a big deal, but for some reason, it just “gets” to you? Well here is my thing – I used to work in the marketing department at Sonic, America’s Drive In – (I actually helped launch the pancake on a stick) at it’s corporate home office in Oklahoma City, OK -
    The correct way to say it is – Sonic – NOT Sonics – PLEASE!! Just a thing, I know.

    Your show isn’t the same :( No more audience comments, and you don’t invite your co-host to the stage, and it’s always “celebrity” of some sorts, not an average everyday person. Sometimes you should keep things the way they are. I understand that it’s new and it takes time to work out the kinks – but it just seems things are missing :( Is there a chance that you can bring the audience comments back once in a while?

    Love the short hair btw -
    Thanks so much for listening!!

  14. Hey Wendy… How you dooin?

    I know im a day late with the moms judging other moms but of course i am a mother so i didnt have time to get to it yesterday. i try not to judge anyone because no one ever knows the full story except the person you are judging. if i want to judge i will make up a tradegy in my head of why the person is acting like they are so i can feel love and compassion towards that individual. i dont care if i get judged for that because i am a much happier person in doing so. Myself, as a mother i get judged all the time. I am a younger mother, i am only 21, plus i look rather young as well. my daughter is almost four months old so when i have her out at the store, peopple look at me with the craziest of eyes because i am younger. yesterday we went out as a family to get ice cream (none for the baby of course) but we sat in the shade on a picnic bench and anyone who walked by would smile at the baby then give me a dirty look. my baby was dressed appropriately she had sunblock on and we were sitting in the shade i dont know what im doing wrong to upset so many people? my daughter is a very happy baby and i love her with everything i am. my mother also started having children at 21, and she never got treated this unfairly.

    p.s. when i get some time i have a picture of my daughter doing a how you doin face and i would love for you to see it.

    thank you for your time and any help would be lovely

  15. I can not believe the utter disrespect that comes out of you sometimes. I am a teacher who homeschools her vaccination injured son. You have no clue what your talking about. Stick to the gossip and do not insult us with your lack of insight on imporatant issues. If I want a great pair of shoes I am not going to look at the grocery store. We look to you for entertainment not substance.

  16. First I just want to say I love love love u Wendy!!! Now down to buisnes… I usually agree with what u say, but I felt some kind of way about the home school statement, for a few reasons. 1. Just because a child is homeschooled doesn’t mean that they are not social. When I moved to Arizona for about a year I home schooled my son. He’s born on 9-11 and in new york he was suppose to be going to second grade, but out there with there backwards system bcuz of his age they wanted to put my son in first grade. I knew that I wasn’t not going to be in Arizona permanetely and I didn’t want my son to be behind when we came back. He still had a very active and social life. He played sports and was friends with the neighbors and some of his team mates. It was good. when we came back to NY he went on to third grade and never missed a beat with school or socialization. The other reason I had a problem with that statement is bcuz my cousin is homeschooled now and that’s bcuz she had a psychotic break in junior highschool. My aunt tried to put her back in school and then highschool and she just couldn’t cut it. She’s now on meds and is homeschooled. She’s slowly learning to deal with large groups of people and becoming more social. To make a long story short, if she wasn’t home schooled she would of missed out on almost 4 and a half years of school. She’s 16 now and is doing so much better. I do not think that she will be ready to graduate with her graduating class, because she’s practically done and receive her diploma soon. She does want to go to college and she’s working to deal with that type of setting. I said all that just to say that homeschooling is sometimes necessary and sometimes the better alternative then putting a child in school. “There I said it.” lol

  17. Your comment about homeschooling children not being socialized is unfounded and prejudiced. In most public schools around the country , children have lunch that is less than 30 minutes long, many of them in assigned seating. Recess is never longer than half an hour either. Silent hallways and silent transitions make it impossible to “socialize” with your friends. On the opposite end, my children have passed their standardized yearly testing each year with flying colors, are able to get their work done in half the time as a public schooler, are active in church, active in the community, and enjoy recreational sports as well as competitive ones. The problem with being judgemental is that there are plenty of ways of finding information to help you understand a situation before making that judgement call. The next time you decide to “judge” please use your professional acumen and make sure the statement that you are making is a fair one, not an unfounded one.

  18. Wendy!!!!!!
    Really wendy?!?!
    I am usually right on board with you after all you are a friend in my head but to say that hank should divorce kendra is way harsh
    She made the tape as a wild teen before the kid and hubby
    Hank married her AT the playboy mansion I’m sure he knew he wasn’t marrying a saint
    Your husband cheated during your marriage and you didn’t divorce him
    Lil hank deserves a family just like your lil kev

  19. Wendy, first of all i think the style of the purple dress you wore today was so flattering. On the topic of moms judging other moms, i get judged all the time for being that crazy outside the box mom. I will do anything with and for my daughter within reason and alot of moms dont get me. But at the end of the day my daughter thanks me all the time for being the fun mom and i am creating memories that last a lifetime. So judge if u must but i could care less. How u doin?

  20. No, public school is NOT for every child. I HATED IT and it made my life a living hell. I dreaded every single day of school; however, I DID have a couple of teachers that made me feel good about myself, such as my drama teacher, who by the way Wendy Williams reminds me so much of. But hell nawl, public school will ruin a child. I would never send my child [if I had a child] to a public school. But I realize everyone’s different: some children do well in public school, because they have the social skills, they have the parents who groom them for socializing. Otherwise, it’s hell if you don’t have the right parents. Public School is definitely a Parent-Teacher-Association [PTA].
