Another day, another messy Wendy Williams story.
Between appearing incoherent in public, walking around the lobby of her apartment building barefoot, and the inability to properly pronounce the word podcast, Wendy Williams apparently has time to hate on TV nemesis Sherri Shepherd.
Word on the street is that she is upset with Sherri so much so that she's allegedly begging her famous friends to boycott The Sherri Shepherd show.
via The Sun:
"Wendy has been calling her friends and saying don't go on the Sherri show and don't promote it," the source revealed.
She is telling everyone that since Nick Cannon said "he won't support Sherri no one else should either, but the thing is - Nick doesn't have his talk show anymore, so it's no skin off his nose to distance himself."
"She is calling all her favorite Real Housewives friends too. The thing is Wendy thinks she has this loyalty, but at the end of the day- no one is going to turn Sherri down," the insider added.
Meanwhile, a source close to Sherri said that her staff are gearing up for the show's debut and working in the New York City studio since Monday.
Sherri, whose show replaces The Wendy Williams Show, says she will make sure her version will be much more "friendly" - to guests and to viewers.
The 55-year-old will debut her self-titled show in September.
She was tapped to replace Wendy after The Wendy Williams show was canceled in June, amongst bizarre behavior and health problems from the host.
Now, with just weeks to go before her replacement debut, Sherri is throwing shade on the often controversial Wendy, and went out of her way to ensure fans she will be a happier host.
"Let’s be clear, I’m not a mean person at all!" Sherri told DailyMail. "I'm all about positive energy. I’m about joy. I’m about kindness and laughter. Anyone that knows me will tell you just that."
Sherri, who said not to expect any mean jabs from her show, said she wants her talk show to embody her positive spirit.
"As a celebrity myself, I know what it’s like to not feel safe appearing on a show or hoping a host doesn’t try to have a gotcha-moment with you.
"It will be a celebrity-friendly zone on Sherri."
While I do believe that Wendy does have an envious bone in her body, and after years of watching her in the industry she does have a knack of not wanting to see women of her caliber succeed sin the same lane she's in, I'm a bit on the fence regarding this story.
Wendy has way too much going on in her personal life to be concerned about trying to sabotage someone else's talk show.
If people want to be upset, be upset with Debmar/Mercury and how they handled the situation. As a talent Sherri just wants to work hard to make sure her solo talk show is a success.
So Wendy, focus on getting your mind, body and spirit right. Focus on getting your coins from Wells Fargo, and last, but certainly not least focus on getting that non-existent podcast off the ground, because personally I do not believe a Wendy Williams podcast even exists.
I love Wendy, but let's be honest she's not well. As for Sherri I will watch her show to see how she does. If it sucks I'll stop watching. Let's not wish for someone's demise before we see the outcome first.
