Wendy Williams has been suspended one week after smashing her competition with extraordinary ratings.
The reason why the New York radio host has been reprimanded is a mystery. It’s been reported that Williams is suspended for one week, while other reports state she has been suspended indefinitely.
She is currently under investigation by her station, WBLS, but as for why, there are no confirmed reports at this time.
We do know that Nicole Spence, former booking agent for Wendy’s hit show, filed a complaint claiming that Wendy has been making her life a living hell since she reported Wendy’s hubby’s supposed sexual advances towards her.

The ALLEGED advances were not from Wendy, it came ALLEGEDLY from Wendy’s Husband/Manager.
Wendy was suspended because she let her husband in the studio. After the law suit was settled, Kevin Hunter was banned from WBLS property. Wendy let him in and on the air ANYWAY! End of story.
I was listening to the show. Her husband and Charlemagne where acting crazy on the Air. I was thinking they would let her go.
I was thinking the same thing. It was due to her husband being up there last week, knowing he was banned. Plus, he was reckless. Just like a boy from the hood to think of only himself. Now you cost Wendy her job. Now Jeff Fox is taking her place on the air.
i AM DYING HERE i MISS WENDY. i CAN’T BELIEVE THEY CAME ON THE STATION JEPORDIZE THIS. MAYBE SHE DID IT ON PURPOSE! TO GET FIRED
I thought she really used poor judgement in allowing her ignorant husband on the show. It sounded like she knew she did a stupid thing by the end of the show, and that there would be repercussions. Maybe she didn’t care because her television show is set to air again soon. Unfortunately, I hope she’s smart enough to know that without her radio show she will not be as popular and her television career will be severely impacted.
Listening to Wendy’s husband that day was like fingernails on a chalkboard. All the allegations of unwanted sexual advances, beating Wendy (workplace intimidation), and trying to hire a hit man seemed believable now. How can he be her “manager.” Through the entire scandal I think Wendy handled working with WBLS like a professional. Wendy shouldn’t have her husband as her manager because he has absolutely noooo self control and if I were Wendy I would be embarassed. I have a rough neck husband but he knows how to turn it off!
I thought Charlemange (Misspelled on purpose) was fired a long time back. How yooou doin?
Wendy u and your family are the best, luv u all
I use to see Wendy almost everyday, we worked in the same building in the mid 90’s, she wasn’t shit then and she isn’t now. It was a matter of time for something like this to happen she thought she was above it all. Stop worshipping that drag queen look alike.
I guess she’ll really wig-out now over her latest deeds.
Do y’all think she might be afraid of her husband?
I say, let the first fool with out sin, cast the first stone. Its amazing how people react to the news of someone losing their job with such malice and nanny nanny boo boo, type attitutudes. Everyone at some point and time will go through some foul shit in their relationship and even make a bad judgement call at some point, EVERYONE. So lets not be so quick to judge mrs. Williams, who by the way is the shit and has been for years. Unless you naysayers was part of the deciding factor, you should keep your mouths shut, like my kids say “talk what you know and let the rest go.” Stop taking pleasure in another persons misery, what goes around comes around, and you better hope karma bypasses your ass’s next!!
I didn’t even know that she was suspended. I have mixed feelings about Ms. Williams.
On one hand, I commend her for having a top radio show in NY and accomplishing that feat being an African American woman. I also appreciate her straightforwardness when she speaks to some of the idiots calling in about their busted relationships. On the other hand, how she obtained that position was by exploiting celebrities with gossip, secrets and negative press. She has not necessarily ‘played ball’ being in her position on the radio station which led to her leaving Hot 97. I will admit that she’s outgrown that station but on the flip side of that coin, she was jealous of the younger, attractive, hip Angie Martinez taking her spot and played herself by exposing the relationship bewteen Q-Tip and Angie Martinez on the air.
I am not saying that celebrities are perfect by a long shot but eventually you reap what you sow and whatever is in darkness comes to light. As Mizchief pointed out above, what goes around comes around.
Besides, if you want to be the boss of you, you have to make major chess moves. You can’t expect to be beligerent, break company rules, the law and expect to still have your position or for the company to back you. Wendy needs to study Oprah 101. Oprah cemented herself early in the game by making those moves. That’s why she is still in the top position and can leave whenever she decides to rather than get thrown out or rated off the air. In my humble opinion, I don’t think Wendy Williams has a future in television. I think she may want to consider satellite radion like Howard Stern. She may even want to consider internet broadcasting as well.
I wish Miss Williams well but she needs to take some of her own advice. Stop being a donkey, look down and play the game or get out. Her age and popularity are working against her at this point.
I am not surprised. Wendy over the years has done some unconscionable acts. It is about time she is removed from her post so she does not have a public forum for her mean spirited behavior. I know their will always be gossip, but Wendy’s behavior sinks to an all time low. I recall she was fired from Hot 97 for making false accusations about someone being gay and insults about her co workers Angie Martinez and Ed lover. She is a miserable woman who finds satisfaction by putting other peoples misfortunes on blast. In the end she will reap what she sows.
I wondered what happened to Wendy. I use to be a faithful listener but i lost interest in her. When I heard Jeff Foxx in her time slot the other day I had a aha moment. I wish her well.
I can not take that damn jeff fox. I listen to BLS from AM to PM, the kitchen radio is set on BLS because of Wendy, I don’t really care for Steve but I tolerate him because of Wendy. BLS should really reconsider what they are doing. 98.7 has a nice show in the morning and afternoon as well. My friends and I may leave BLS and not come back . OMMGG!!!!!!!!
I can not listen to the show without her. It’s crazy they hire her for the same reason she was fired. 90% of the time Wendy is saying exactly what I am thinking. she was my comedic relief in the afternoon. I dont think I can listen to the station anymore. I already had to switch from Steve in the morning. Sometimes I wonder if he’s even in New York. And there are times when he seriously sounds like he’s been kidnapped by a cult and reprogrammed. Guess it’s Z100 or or kiss FM from now on.
I like a lot of the posters, I heard wendy when her husband and “charlemange were on the show, and I was embarrassed for me and every other AA together. Before that airing, I couldn’t tell you the last time I heard that level of ignorance. I miss her show and Jeff is just spinning records, he’s pretty lame…….I guess I’ll go back to 98.7 in the afternoon.
listen, i know that wendy can be a bit much at times, but even with all of the shenanigans that went on, how can she be considered any more outrageous than howard stern? he was on radio for many years acting like a “butt hole,” and his behavior was accepted by mainstream media and the listening public.
however, i do agree that her ghetto ass husband and charlemegne (sp…whatever…) was completely out of line. even if wendy was in on it (i believe she was), their collective decision to do what they did was soooo unprofessional and as a result, may hurt wendy on her talkshow. perhaps she is a little over confident.
I’ve been riding with Wendy since she was on Kiss FM way, way back. I don’t always agree with her but people, let’s keep things in perspective – it’s entertainment purposes only – if you’re offended turn the dial and keep it moving! I’m beginning to wonder if her contract was up and she’s gone for good. It’s been over a week and I wonder if having Big Kev and Charlemagne on the show was her last hurrah and a f$% you to BLS. It’s true that she no longer fits BLS’s format (not that she ever really fit into the format) but it’s clear that the new station manager was trying to get her to be something different from Wendy Williams – over the past few months there was far less talk, stricter control over the music and too many breaks! Even if the TV show doesn’t work out (and I have my doubts) Wendy will be fine. A lot of people like me depended on her for their afternoon entertainment and will follow her to another station if it comes to that. I’ve also been a long time fan of Jeff Foxx who fits the format that BLS is pushing now and will help them compete against KISS FM. Either way, I wish both Wendy and Jeff the best.
I heard the last show. I was happy to hear Charlamagne (sp?) at first but then Kevin opened his big ol mouth…. I was like, “oh no!!!!” I was embarassed for her. She told him, “you say too much”. AND she did say “pink slip”. She knew what she was doing. Anyway, I will miss Ms Wendy. She was a salvation in the mid afternoon traffic here in NYC and I will probably install Satellite radio because after this and losing Howard, its time to switch. Wendy’s husband will be her downfall. I do love all she has accomplished and I really feel at a loss.
OMG… I only ASSUMED that Wndy was on Vacation.. I can’t satnd this station now.. I’m moving on to 105.7.. What I really believed happened was Wendy was talking to one of her guest about 2 weeks ago about a book and P. Diddy’s mane came in the convo & they let her go for no reason.. I hate this station now.
Just as Marie’s da name, I also assumed she was on vacation. My coworker and myself thought it was strange because it was two weeks and we googled Wendy and found this site. I don’t adore Wendy, but I love her show as a afternoon pick-me-up, and I only listen to WBLS from 2-6 for Wendy…Jeff Foxx is boring, I can’t take it.
This is awful. She helped me get threw the hardest part of
The workday.I hope she is not gone but if she was suspended for a week then she should have returned if bls is smart they better get her back or get somebody with the gift for gab because Steve and Jeff fox can’t hold bls down.
I only thought of Wendy’s radio show as a boost in the afternoon at work. And I personally was sooooooooo glad when her lil co host got fired! I couldn’t stand his lil homophobic a** !!! How can a person have ‘tha god’ in his stage name and be so negative??? & if he should happen to come across this post I’ll also like to say. ” Stop being big kev’s bi?*?$ and get your own gigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cause I know his ignorant as* is taking the majority of your check. BE YOUR OWN MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! & STOP LIVING THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE CAUSE YOU TOO DAMN WEAK TO GO OUT AND GET YOUR OWN.

Wendy is like a bad car accident. I would only allow myself to listen to her mean spirited antics once a month. The energy of her husband is very negative and no good is going to come of that union or situation.
Charlamane is undoubtedly gay, and his self hate is evident; as well as tragic! I sense that he and big Kevin is ‘getting it in!’ The TV show is going to plunge faster than the Terry McMillan excitement. The TV show is watered down and she is not exactly eye candy.
Anyway, it’s pathetic that a middle age woman is gossiping about folks half her age anyway; so, it was only a matter of time. Certainly, her husband is going to put a lot of people off. I was stunned at her son when she showed him on her show almost a year ago.
Superficial, shallow, over the top; yet, tragic is definitely a train wreck waiting to happen! Unfortunately, the aforementioned is entertainment for many, since misery loves company.
Wendy is a smart and talented woman, but her husband and that piece of $hit Shalamar? Harlequin? Chandeleir? whatever the pink lipped pu$$y calls himself brought her DOWN. Shame on all of them. She needs to DROP THOSE LOSERS. G0od for WBLS for not taking their ignorance and disrespect.
WOW. I was wondering why she wasn’t on the WBLS or my local affliate station anymore. Just like a lot of other people I googled her name to find out what happened and landed here. This sucks, all I have is NPR now. I would love to hear what Wendy’s husband ( who I could never stand) and Charlemagne said to get her fired.
It sucks that Wendy is suspended. And where are all her fans?! She DOES have a top rated show for Gods sake, but apparently most people on here hate her. Anyway, I just want to know what her husband said/did to get her fired???? I must have missed that episode. Can someone post what he did please? Thanks!
As of today, I have still not seen anything official. All the NY Daily News said today was that Jeff was still sitting in for her. Her career will never be the same without radio. She always seemed well aware of that. Her husband will be her downfall. He is such a thug! Let’s not forget this is the same man that cheated on her while she was pregnant. So low class. It’s a shame if she loses her job because of him.
Mike Jones you are a hater, I called the radio station 212-545-1075, and they said she will be back on Monday. I will wait unitl monday and if no Wendy, I will make to switch to Kiss. Jeff Fox needs to be put in a box. I need WENDY.. Someone needs to tell Steve Harvey that while he does on really care for Wendy, he should fight for her speedy return beause his ratings are going to drop if the is no Wendy.
Help us!
smh…Wendy is the boost i need to get through my day. with her nonsense and “how YOU doing”. I love my drag queen, messed up hair and all. and thats what makes her who she is. she says what we thinking and thats it. I turned on the radio and was like “o hell no this heffa isn’t on vacation again!” LOL a week later still no wendy. so i googled and see this thread…smh at her though for letting her hubby in the studio knowing that he wasn’t supposed to be there. but her when u a queen a queen…you do what u do and thats it.
…since she hasnt been there I haven’t listened to wbls..nor will I. She is the only reason I listen to wbls…Kiss gets my afternoons and Z100 gets my morning. I’ll get Wendy on her show if she doesn’t come back. It is what it is.
I need Wendy! I do not know if I’m coming or going. I’m here, I’m there, I’m everywhere.! This is not funny anymore…
I was listening also the day Charlamange, and Kevin was there. At first it wasn’t that bad, they were promoting whatever, or at least acting like they were. I think Charlamange got picked up on another station in another state. But then Kevin started that ying yang, bout some fat __ as he was putting it, In which I assume he was speaking about Ms Jones, that’s when it went downhill. Plus because of the lawsuit, I really do believe he is barred, and Wendy tried to bring him up there on a promoter type thing. Well Wendy is very judgemental about people, and does not bite her tongue, so now she has to listen to others judge her and the poor judgement she used. I also would not be suprised if it was a permanent suspension, or dismissal, not that I wish that on her, I enjoy her show most of the time, but the CEO and big boys are not going to let anyone think they are bigger then them, that’s just how it is, and they will bit off their nose to spite their face, rather than have some african american woman, and her husband walking around their station like they are head honchos.
Thats My Opinion and I’m sticking to it
That b!$@# wanted vacation time. She knew what she was doing. Still love her, don’t care.
I don’t believe that Wendy, as shrewd of a business woman that she is, would even let her husband jepeordize her job like that. Even if she is moving on to TV, she should not burn bridges. Everytime that fool of a husband of hers gets on the air, he makes a fool of HER! He reminds me of Ike Turner.
RN working from Home ~ WOW! Out of all these comments; yet, you choose to only target mine! Well, the term “hater” is grossly misused!
However, you are ignorant based off of your ill-bred opinion of me; although, we have never met!
Wendy has made a career off of the misfortunes of others! If she can dish it, then she had better be able to take it! I don’t wish malice upon anyone. Nor; is it necessary in this case. Wendy is a very negative person, and if there is one thing that I know for sure is that nothing comes out of negativity but tragedy.
A) Wendy thinks that she is better than 99.9% of you fool who listen on a regular!
B) She exploits low class folks who have nothing better to do than to call the radio station to get her schedule!
C) She desperately seeks a reason to believe that any respectable man is gay since obviously none wanted her.
D) Her husband is pimping her!
E) Her son looked sadly neglected.
F) Her mother and father contributed to her superficial being!
G) She tries to justify her ex addict habits while calling others out!
H) Her 15 minutes is all most up! Maybe, she will be back on-air Monday; however, it’s only a matter of time before she’s out.
How’s that for “hating?” LOL
