Wendy Williams Gets Fired Up Over Marie Claire Blog Post

Chances are, you’ve already heard some of the buzz about it as people aren’t happy with the magazine, which has yet to issue any kind of formal apology after their blogger expressed her extreme distaste toward the obese. Wendy Williams spoke about the issue on her show today, saying:

“Whether you are grossly obese, a little bit chubby or just a person with a heart, you realize that fat is the last place of ridicule that is acceptable in this society. Why do you accept that? I don’t accept that. We get upset about the N-word, we get upset about making fun of gay people, and paraplegics and people with Down Syndrome - but we can make fun of fat people and that’s okay? It’s not okay. Marie Claire, we’ll be waiting for your apology – how about that?””
