Wendy Williams was one of the few who publicly called out Shawn “Diddy” Combs during his prime, and her career faced setbacks because of it. Now, with more information surfacing about the disgraced mogul, it seems Wendy was right all along. Recently, she’s breaking her silence.

Welcome to our coverage of Diddy here on Popcorn Planet. I’m Andy Signor, and I’ve been eager to hear from Wendy Williams, hoping she’d weigh in, considering she was one of the few to speak out against Diddy back in the day.

Before we dive into her comments, let’s revisit their history. The two had multiple run-ins, most notably in 1998 when Diddy allegedly got Wendy fired from her Hot 97 radio show. Charlemagne Tha God mentioned this during an appearance on the Flagrant podcast, stating that Wendy had been vocal about Diddy’s rumored sexuality in the ’90s, which led to her dismissal from the station, especially when Bad Boy Records was at its peak.

Wendy reportedly lost her job after implying things about Diddy that he wanted to keep hidden, rumors that included suggestions about his sexuality. At the time, it seemed Diddy might have preferred people to believe these rumors, as they were a distraction from other allegations.

A former bodyguard of Diddy’s, Gene Deal, also hinted at the mogul’s power over radio stations, particularly in New York. He claimed Diddy was able to get one of the hottest DJs off the air for trying to expose certain personal details about him.

Fast forward to now, and Wendy is finally breaking her silence. In an exclusive with the Daily Mail, Wendy commented on the situation, saying, “It’s about time.” She shared that many people, including family members, had told her she had been right all along. Despite her health issues and struggles with lymphedema, Wendy expressed her horror at the footage of Diddy and Cassie, calling it “horrific” and questioning how many more people might have been victimized.

Wendy’s history of challenging Diddy, and the consequences she faced, has resurfaced, especially as more allegations against him come to light. A clip of Wendy being seemingly nervous while interacting with Diddy years ago has gone viral, with many viewers speculating that his comments about her son during that exchange were a subtle threat. Some believe Wendy’s body language suggested she knew more than she was letting on at the time.

Reflecting on all of this, many have noted how Wendy Williams was ahead of the curve, calling out Diddy’s alleged behavior long before others were willing to do so. While there’s still a lot we don’t know, Wendy’s courage to speak up, despite the risks to her career, is now being recognized.

What do you think of all this? Was Wendy’s hesitation in that viral clip due to fear, or is it being overanalyzed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. And if you haven’t already, make sure to subscribe, hit the bell for notifications, and stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing story.
