Wendy Williams Apologises For Anti-Gay Comments

Wendy Williams has issued an apology to the LGBT+ community after some anti-gay comments she made recently in an episode of her talk-show.

As ‘LA Times’ report, the presenter, on her show “Wendy Williams Show”, unleashed a rant against gay men for “wearing our skirts and our heels.” She declared that “You’ll never be the women we are. No matter how gay.”

After Williams received criticism for her comments, she shared a video in social media stating: “I’ll start by saying, ‘I apologize.’ I did not mean to offend my LGBTQ+ community on yesterday’s show. ... one thing that I can tell you right now is that I never do the show in a place of malice. ... I didn’t mean to hurt anybody’s feelings. I’m just having a conversation.”

“I’m 55 years old, and maybe I sounded like your auntie, your mother, your big sister or somebody out of touch,” Williams reflected in her apology video. “I’m not out of touch, except for, perhaps, yesterday, by saying what I said. So, I deeply apologize, and I deeply appreciate the support that I get from the community.”

“I will do better,” she promised her followers. “I appreciate you supporting me. Thank you.”
