Wendy: A Ray of Sunshine
When you spend an hour with Wendy, you never know what will happen. You may laugh. You may cry or learn something new about yourself or even learn to see a situation from a different point of view.
No matter what the case, Wendy is a ray of sunshine on daytime TV and she’s been bringing joy to a lot of people’s lives from the moment she was born.
Wendy’s mom shared the story with us of when Wendy was born, and how she brought a ray of sunshine into their family during a sad time.

Wendy, I have watched your show since the very beginning and I must say that your show with your Mother was my all time favorite show. I had my Mommy and my daughter who also calls me Mommy on the phone at the same time and we watched your show and cried and laughed and went back down memory lane with each other. I absolutely love your Mommy. She along with my Mommy and so many other Mother’s back in the day is what this generation of young girls need today. I am old school, I am just a few months older than you and I raised my daughter with the same morals and values that were taught to me by my Mommy and Grandmother, Aunts and all of the strong black women who took part in me being the person I am today. I remember the comming in before the street lights came on and all of the lessons learned from my Mommy and Grandmother. When I was in nursing school, my Mommy was my clinical instructor in the hospital I did my Ob-Gyn rotation and even then it was very hard for me to call her by her name and then add the Mrs. in front of it. I couldn’t wait to get through that rotation so that I could go back to calling her Mommy whenever we would see each other for lunch. Wendy your Mommy is so sweet and you please let her know that she should do a Mommy Knows Best segment on your show. Please keep doing what you are doing and God Bless you and your Mommie and continued success with your show.

Wendy, I really enjoy your show, I thought you wouldn’t be on much longer because when women are open and honest, and funny, and have a tie to their family, this seems to make men nervous…I want to listen everyday to your show, a breath of fresh air in my life. Do you know my husband watches too, he retired and finds the time to sit with me and have a cup of coffee together his coffee is not the best but it tasts better when I watch your show, and it’s nice that he makes it for me..again thank you for being here I love you wendy…your mom and dad did a great job raising you, their so cute! stay happy! love maryanne and marty

Wendy: I really enjoy watching your show…did not know much about you in your radio days but since I am home more I record your show daily. Usually I am amused by your comments and take it on the chin…because it is your opinion. However (knew that was coming), the comment you made regarding marriage and children (although your opinion) was QUITE insensitive especially considering your audience. You are blessed to have garnered the support of housewives, the gay community, students, etc…Yet you make a comment that could possibly alienate them. What if you want to build a life with someone and recognize that you are not ABLE or desire to have children of your own?? It is amazing that with all the women and men that are desparately looking for companionship and someone to spend the rest of their lives with you advocate that they just spend whatever time together because if there are no children involved “whats the point”? Perhaps the point is they enjoy each other, sex, companionship, the idea that someone is committed to them for the rest of their lives, and best of all to know you may just have a “soft place to land” when you need to. You were BLESSED, get it BLESSED to have your son. That is almost like saying to someone who has lost their job if they cannont be CEO what’s the point of taking any job?? I believe if it was important to YOU that your “husbands” only purpose was to give you viable seed that is great…DO YOU. But don’t insult those of us who either have chosen NOT to have children and live in a committed, legally sanctioned, and long-term relationship OR cannot afford OR have the ability to bear children.
I love the show, and of course I will not always agree with what you have to say. I just ask that you show “some” sensitivity to the people that support you the most by considering the impact of your statements. I am curious what your older and/or gay watchers would think of such a comment…
how YOU doin????

Wendy,
I call your mother WISDOM just as someday hopefully, you will be call by your son .
Shirley Williams a bundle of voice none-the-less wise, words of wisdom.
She co-hosted well even sparking emotion from your gentler side. I liked her humanitarian approach to marriage which cover so many different people’s life situations.
She appears to enjoy wiggling and shifting to your theme song, meaning she likes to dance.
Well if that be the case, she can really have fun with the seniors in the Dade County Kendall area.The Pilates and exercise fitness FUN class/sessions cross-generation of ages, mostly seniors, at Our Lady of Lourdes Church or the List Senior Center are under the guidance of a most humble and gentle soul.
Exercise and fitness expert, nationally traveled performer who is a professional dancer and 21yr survivor with literally a LITANY of notable accomplishments, Cathee Conner, gets these women rockin’, rollin’ and fit….so sez her big sis the qatzmeow- Afi

Wendy the new wig look awesome.love the show..

Wendy, I love the show with you and your Mother, it was very touching. I from Lakewood New Jersey, but now stay in Virginia. I wrote a book about a little boy being abused as a child by his Father, that I would like for you to read. I would love for all mothers to read it, but I can’t seem to get it out fast enough, and I need your help. The Title is Why Didn’t I Ask Why written by Maurice Evans. You can find this book on http://www.outskirtspress.com/maurices_book to help me get the message out about listening to your children..

Hi Wendy,
I watch your show every day and sometimes I have to disagree with some of your commments. This is in reference to the comment last week about Gabrielle Union and the “Baby Momma” Drama. You had Gabby on trial and hung from one statement from the Ex-Wife. I am speaking from experience as both the Girlfriend/wife and having to deal with a “Mad Black Woman” (Mother of the children) who didn’t get the man and let her feelings cloud and flood the childrens feelings. Of course the children want to protect their mother. I have also been the ex-girlfriend seat (Baby Momma) but I never caused any drama for the new woman in his life, Because I moved on. You should know being a woman that sometimes we don’t want to move on and tend to hold on to relationships that are over. Especially when their are children involved. Sometimes women have the children just to hold on to the man, but we both know that is not the solution.
Another thing why was an 8 year old screaming and crying by the pool. He is 8 not 2. The whole thing about money ($50,000) that Gabby was sued for. Your comment “It’s not about the money because of the amount”. Right it’s not about the money but about making Gabby and Dwayne look bad. If he is not spending time with his kids, thats another story.
I will continue to watch because “How You Doin”
Love You

Wendy,
Are you serious!!! How dare you make an egregious and insensitive statement about getting married only to have children. What happened to the santity of marriage and doing what’s pleasing to GOD. Children or no children who wants to be together based on an implication. Your statement is all but promoting hedonistic lifestyle.

Hi, wendy i just wanted to comment on one of the comments about not having your father on stage ,and showing the camera on him. but you did ,the show were for mothers dont that person realize that. you were not trying to shut him out,you said what was on your mind thats all. If that person cant unstand that thats to bad. Im sure your father was not affended.

Hello Wendy
I LOVE you and your show. I’ve been a fan since your radio days. You have really grown since those days. Regarding your comment about people getting married to have childred; I am 34, 5.11′, no children and not married. at this point in my life and all these no good men, I am not looking forward to getting married. I look forward to some day having a baby or adopting and living my life. I’ve tried for many years to have a baby and i guess its just not in my cards. so the thought of my future husband leaving me because i may not be able to have children is hurtful. But i do understand that this is your opinion i still love you and will watch your show. You are a friend in my head. To all my tall sista’s stand up. LOVE YA!
Monday May 10th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
The show on Friday was great. I loved seeing your Mommy. You are very blessed to have her. She is sooo cute. She could host her own show!!!! You look fabulous today…. the black dress, the hair…..right on time. I never knew any thing about you before. Now, I try not to miss a show. CONGRATULATIONS . carol

WENDY,FOR ONE I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS MOMENT TO SAY HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU AND YOUR MOMMIE! BUT WENDY I AM UPSET ABOUT HOW YOU OUTED YOUR DAD ON THE SHOW. WAS THAT YOUR PAY BACK MOMENT TO HIM? IT WAS VERY DISTASTEFUL,AND DISRESPECTFUL FOR SOMEONE WHO ADVOCATES ALL THAT YOU DO ON RESPECT! YOU SAID TO HIM,”IT’S ALRIGHT DADDY,ALL IS FORGIVEN.” BUT, IF IN FACT ALL IS FORGIVEN AS YOU SAID,WHY DID YOU FEEL THE NEED TO THROW IN HIS FACE HIS WORDS? AND YOU REPEATED WHAT HE HAD SAID BACK THEN REPEATEDLY BEFORE SAYING,ALL IS FORGIVEN. WILL YOU BE HOSTING THE SHOW WITH DADDY COME FATHERS DAY? I SURE HOPE SO,AND I HOPE YOU TAKE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO APOLOGIZE TO HIM PUBLICLY JUST THE SAME AS YOU HAD TO HAVE EMBARASSED HIM PUBLICLY! I LEARNED WATCHING YOUR MOTHERS DAY SHOW THAT NOT ONLY ARE WE THE EXACT SAME AGE,WE ARE BOTH BORN IN JULY,AND WE HAVE ALMOST THE SAME STORY CONCERNING A GRANDPARENT. EXCEPT IT WAS MY GRANDFATHER,AND HE DIED,UNFORTUNATELY,THE MONTH BEFORE I WAS BORN.AND I WAS BORN JULY 2ND,HE WAS BORN JULY 4TH.
WENDY,PLEASE RECTIFY WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR DAD ON THE SHOW….THAT WAS NOT RIGHT AT ALL…..VERY DISRESPECTFUL! I KNOW YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT,AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWING OF YOURSELF THROUGHOUT THE TIME YOU’VE BEEN ON DAYTIME….THE WAY YOU BEHAVED WAS THAT OF WENDY WILLIAMS FROM RADIO DAYS,DURING THOSE DAYS I COULDNT AND WOULDNT LISTEN TO YOU. ONLY BECAUSE YOU WERE VERY MEAN AND UNCARING OF EVERYONE YOU TALKED ABOUT. AND YOU HAD NO RESPECT OF CHARACTER.

Hi, Wendy. I dvr the mother day show friday. My partner kevin and I got to watch it Sunday.We love the show! Your Mother is a doll. She like one of the old school Mother’s. Jewish, Italian whatever. Not to be to forward. My partner kevin and I were commenting to each other about your mom? Your mom is short and pertite and that voice I love it. Is she of mix’s race? I was rasied in Jersey City in multi cultural enviroment neighborhood. To me it all good. I believe in the individaul and what is in there head and heart. P.S. On a another not?. Read those comments about Marriage. I was married for many years before I came out. YES! Marriage is having kids. I raised seven children who were from my wife’s first marriage. . As we grow within the marriage and certain events change.Like me, Accepting my sexuality was one. I think now when I look back. The children played a important part in staying as long as I did. Yes I did love there mother in my own way. Not in a way a wife and as a woman should of. Have a good week. Thanks CHARLES

I was even folding some paper when you did the crafting segment of the show, following what you were all doing–it was fun.
Monday May 10th, 2010 at 2:31 am
Wendy, that was a very moving story about your mother Shirley giving birth to you just as her own mother was in her last days. And that her mother was able to see you in the first days of your life. I was in tears a few minutes after it ended because that was a rare moment she will always have forever in her life. I like that the audience members brought their mothers with them to the show, to continue with the Mother’s Day theme. And that you showed the young cameraman with his mother behind him–they looked so alike with their smiles and noses! I was looking forward to this show the most this past week and you all succeeded! Happy Mother’s Day to you Wendy, your mommy Shirley and all the mothers around the world!!!!

Dear Wendy:
I love your show – how you doin! I particularly loved your May 7th show with your mom sitting in with you as your co-host. I loved how you addressed your mother as “mommy.” Your mother is so cute and adorable and I would love to see her co-host with your more often. I love how you come across to your audience as if we are old friends, and, you keep it totally real – love it, love it. Wendy keep doing what you are doing because you are truly being true to yourself and people love that. I predict you will be doing what you love for many years to come. Happy Mother’s Day Wendy.
Peace

Dear Wendy:
I normally love you and love the show, but the comment you made about only couples who plan on having children should get married married was hurtful and insensitive. My husband and I got married 10 years ago because we loved each other and wanted to live under God’s Covenant. Unfortunatly, I suffered a miscarrage 5 years ago and we have not been unable to concieve and cannot afford fertility treatments. So do I divorce the man I love because we cannot have children? If you were not able to concieve little Kevin, would you have divorced your husband? If so, that speaks volumes about the strenght of your marriage. I feel sorry that you feel that way because the Lord finally blessed you and your husband. I am an excellent mother figure to many children and my husband and I are good examples of how to love.
