Wendy Williams Skips Award Ceremony: Her demands were outrageous!

Wendy Williams Skips Award Show

Rumor has it, Wendy Williams left the Trumpet Awards hanging, literally, at the last minute. The talk show host was an honoree for their upcoming show, but pulled out and didn’t appear. Reportedly, Wendy had unreasonable demands for her and her staff, which resulted on her pulling the plug just two days before the show. According to TheYBF,

At this past Saturday’s taping of the Trumpet Awards, the audience gasped when Wendy Williams’ name was called after her honoree presentation and she was nowhere to be found. The “Wendy Show” talk show maven had skipped out on the Awards show all together, and didn’t tell the event organizers until less than two days before! Sources tell us Wendy was on 100 with her demands! Even though the Trumpet Awards organization never gave a flat out ‘No’ to her requests, we’re told that production thinks Wendy may have felt too much push back during negotiations. And it may have been one of the nails in the no-show coffin. Weeks leading up to the taping in Atlanta, Wendy’s reps and the event organizers were busily solidifying Wendy’s travel plans and everything she would need. The Trumpet Awards, an annual event celebrating African-American achievements and contributions, were prepared to give Wendy a few backstage passes and 3-4 plane tickets with the usual travel accommodations covered, all for her and her guests.

We’re told Wendy wanted to fly in 8 people, bring all 8 backstage with All-Access passes, and she also wanted to bring an entire camera crew with her every step of the way. It presented a problem for the event staffers as space and resources are tight. We’re told they insisted on trying to compromise with where the cameras could and couldn’t go — especially seeing that their own cameras would be capturing footage for the night.

We’re also told she insisted on getting cash as opposed to her plane tickets being booked the standard way, by the event organizers directly, and she also insisted on using her own car service company to the airport in New Jersey. Trumpet organizers attempted to compromise by requesting she used a cheaper company, but, supposedly, she wasn’t having it.

    exactly cuz she don’t want the cameras to show because she’s a fucking man and her staff is already trained to make sure that his balls and his dick are not shown or pop out somewhere because she’s a fucking man

    Wendy needs to remember she wasn’t born with a silver spoon, and the same people who put your ass there can take you down.

      All celebs have ceretain request before any appearance why crucify Wendy for her demands ?????

      • Terri Cox at 5:49 pm

        I understand contractual requests Claudette, but to drop out without negotiating is unprofessional. She gave them 2 days. It was in her honor so there was no getting someone else.
        I work under time constraints everyday, dropping out of a Show honoring the achievements of Blacks pushes the parameters of “celebrity” into amateurish behavior. Coming from a production aspect, an additional camera crew backstage is almost unheard of because of space, and respect to the privacy of other honorees.
        Some people would be thrilled just to be noted, clearly the award wasn’t prestigious enough

        because she’s not important that’s why

      • ben at 3:04 am

        who the fuck you think she is demanding for shit how about asking and not demanding like if you think you’re more special than anybody else oh yeah I forgot he’s black the way you defend him you’re probably Black 2 remember you don’t make demands you ask nicely

    • Vanessa Morris at 9:32 am

      you got that right and I Gotta Feeling her show is not going to be renewed at the 20 season I don’t know who she think she is

  3. Tone at 9:42 pm

    OH MS.WENDY GURLLLLLL, HI YOU DOIN!

  4. Brad at 12:27 am

    I mean she is pretty much the top tv talk show host right now. I don’t think her demands were all that out there. Not like she was asking for 80 bottles of peach ciroc!!

    Damn, who doe she she think she is Oprah. I feel she is being a jerk. She more than likely wanted coverage for her own show. Poor Wendy go soak your wounds. Blah blah blah.

    She wasn’t a performer she was an honoree. She should have humbled herself. They were trying to do something nice for her. She’s lucky somebody wants to honor her. What she did was rude. Low class and trashy. Why anyone would want to honor her, is beyond me. I used to be a fan, but she just talks out of her ass now. She is a sell out. Makes me wonder if she’s using again.

    She probably back on that sit again..

  8. Willie Redd at 4:21 pm

    She probably back on that shit again……

  9. Muther fucker jones at 4:35 pm

    People can be so mean why can’t we all just get along?

  10. tamora at 9:58 pm

    Honestly,I’ve always said she’s a bit to full headed and anyone that can have a gossip show as long as she has and talk about so many others has probably got no good life of her own. I’m not surprise she wants extra stuff, plus thinks she deserves it.
