AceShowbiz - Wendy Williams is probably not surprised when Sean "P. Diddy" Combs was arrested for sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Fans took to social media to point out that Wendy has been warning people about the hip-hop mogul's alleged crimes for years.
Wendy's name started trending on X following the rapper's arrest earlier this week. Some fans recalled how the former "The Wendy Williams Show" host was critical of Diddy during her career as a radio and television host. Fans suggested that she had been calling out Diddy for his alleged antics "for decades."
"Wendy Williams told us a decades ago about Diddy. The streets have been talking for a very long time," one fan wrote on the app, formerly known as Twitter. "Wendy Williams been telling y'all about Diddy for years."
Fans also lamented the loss of her Hot Topics segment as "The Wendy Williams Show" ended its 13-year run in its final episode in June 2022. "She would've dedicated the entire hot topics to Diddy as she sips her tea while giving us the side eye after throwing shade and saying, 'I told ya so,' " one person joked.
Another said, "That lady in her purple chair would've given us the right CONTENT with a touch of 'I told you so.' " One other noted, "Don't forget that Wendy Williams told us exactly who Sean Combs was back in 1998. 26 years ago!"
"I truly miss Auntie Wendy Williams on days like today. No one did hot topics like she did. No one. I can almost hear her going off on Puffy (Diddy) and telling us she told us so," someone further wrote. "Because she's always known and she tried to tell us. Many times. I hope she's doing better."
Meanwhile, in new progress of Diddy's legal trouble, his legal team filed an appeal to the district court after a New York magistrate judge initially denied bail. Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo argued for his client's release, proposing a bail package that included a $50 million bond, home detention with GPS monitoring, drug testing and restrictions on visitors.
However, prosecutors maintained that the rapper's history of witness intimidation and obstruction of justice made him a flight risk. "The government has shown by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is a danger to the community and poses a serious risk of flight," said Emily Johnson, Assistant U.S. Attorney.
