Montel Williams BLASTS Wendy Williams over belittling guests who struggle with the same issues as her
Though daytime talk show host Wendy Williams has been going through a lot this year, splitting from her husband of 22 years, Kevin Hunter, she got no sympathy from Montel Williams.
During the 34th Annual Ellis Island Medal of Honors on Saturday, May 11, Montel, 62, was asked what he thought about Wendy's, 54, hard times.
Instead of offering any sort of sympathy, Montel fired a few shots at his fellow host for putting down her guests for years during a chat with Us Weekly.
