Wendy Williams may be dealing with serious health issues — but she’s not letting that stop her from speaking her mind about the growing sex crime allegations against Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Williams, 60, broke her silence about the federal case against Diddy in an interview with the Daily Mail published on Tuesday, October 1.
“What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,'” the former Wendy Williams Show host — who announced her aphasia and frontotemporal dementia diagnosis earlier this year — told the outlet.
Williams, as well as others in the industry, have long accused Diddy of getting her fired from popular hip-hop radio station Hot 97 after she repeatedly alleged that the Grammy winner was gay.
The outspoken TV personality also discussed her reaction to the disturbing video footage released earlier this year that shows the disgraced rapper, 54, physically assaulting then-girlfriend Cassie in 2016.
‘You know how I feel about that? It is about time [it was released],” Williams said. “To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled … it was just horrific.”
Wendy Williams visits SiriusXM Studios on August 06, 2019 in New York City. In October 2024, Williams — who has been out of the spotlight for some time due to major health issues — issued a scathing statement about Diddy in the wake of his alleged sex crimes.

Cassie, who dated Diddy on and off for nearly a decade before the two split in 2018, filed a rape lawsuit against the Bad Boy executive last year; the two settled the case the following day.
As more and more allegations come out against Diddy — who was arrested last month and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution, all of which he denies — Williams, like many, are wondering just how many more allegations will come out against the “All About the Benjamins” artist.
“Now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women?” she asked. “It’s just so horrible.”
The same day Williams’ interview was published, attorney Tony Buzbee came forward to announce he is representing 120 additional alleged victims of Diddy, both men and women.
“Our youngest victim is 9 years old. We have an individual who is 14 years old. We have one who is 15,” Buzbee announced at a press conference on Tuesday, explaining that the accusations in the lawsuits he is working on include “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, sexual abuse of minors.” The earliest claim of a sex crime allegedly committed by Diddy is from 1991.
High-profile attorney Gloria Allred is also representing multiple women who have come forward with their own civil cases against Diddy.
Diddy currently sits behind bars in a Brooklyn jail as he awaits his federal trial, for which a date has yet to be set.
