Wendy Williams didn’t hold back during a rare interview on
The Breakfast Club, where she addressed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mounting legal troubles, her personal experiences with the music mogul, and her ongoing fight for independence amid health challenges.
Host Charlamagne tha God revisited Williams’ controversial departure from Hot 97 in 1998, suggesting that Diddy played a role in her firing. Williams confirmed the speculation, stating, “Diddy will go to prison for life, people.”
“You don’t know things I knew about Diddy back in the day,” she continued. “And you want to know what? It’s about time, people, it is about time. Diddy done.”
Williams did not elaborate further on what she claimed to know about Combs, but her comments added to the growing discourse surrounding the embattled music mogul.
Combs, who was arrested in September on sex-trafficking charges, has pleaded not guilty and is currently in jail awaiting trial, which is set to begin May 5. In addition to the criminal charges, Combs faces dozens of lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, including a new claim that he drugged and raped a 16-year-old girl in 2000.
In response to the allegations, Combs’ legal team has denied any wrongdoing. “No amount of lawsuits against our client will change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted, or sex-trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor,” his lawyers said in a statement to
Rolling Stone.
Williams’ history with Combs dates back decades. In her 2004 book
The Wendy Williams Experience, she alleged that Combs tried to sabotage her career during her tenure at Hot 97. Speaking to
New York magazine in 2005, Williams said it was her “belief” that Combs played a role in her dismissal, referencing rumors she had spread about his sexuality.
Following Combs’ recent arrest, Williams claimed vindication. “Multiple people told me I called it,” she told the
Daily Mail in November. She also criticized footage from 2016 that appeared to show Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. “But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible,” she said.
During the interview, Williams also opened up about her own struggles. Her TV show was canceled in 2022 following a series of health-related absences. She has since been placed under guardianship and was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. However, Williams remains defiant, telling
The Breakfast Club, “I feel like I’m in prison. I’m not cognitively impaired.”
Her remarks sparked both support and controversy, adding another chapter to the ongoing saga of two public figures navigating turmoil.
