Wendy Williams Speaks On Diddy’s Arrest: It’s About Time!
Wendy Williams is speaking out following Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs arrest on sex trafficking charges. The talk show host says it’s
“about time.”
“What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,’” Williams told The Daily Mail in a new statement.
“Including some people from my family who have said the same.”
Throughout her career, Wendy had been critical of Diddy.
She also spoke about the video of him physically abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel.
“You know how I feel about that? It is about time,” Williams said of Diddy’s arrest.
“To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled … it was just horrific.”
Here’s a throwback of Diddy appearing on the Wendy Williams Show 7 years ago.
As previously reported, on September 16, 2024, Combs was arrested by U.S. Homeland Security investigators in Manhattan after he was indicted by a grand jury.
He is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering. During his first court appearance at a Manhattan federal courthouse on September 17, 2024, Combs pled not guilty. During this court appearance, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky denied Combs bail and ordered for him to remain to jail.
His attorneys offered a $50 million bond, but on September 18, a second judge, Andrew L. Carter Jr., also denied bail, as he is concerned about potential witnesses being threatened or intimidated.
Combs is detained in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. On September 24, a woman filed a lawsuit against Combs, alleging Combs and his head of security drugged her, bound her, and raped her in 2001 when she was 25 years old.
