Wendy Williams is no stranger to making a controversy. On Monday's episode of "The Wendy Williams Show", the 51-year-old host shared her opinion about the ongoing battle between Dr. Luke and Kesha (formerly Ke$ha), but what she said appeared to disappoint Kesha's fans and other victims of sexual abuse.
While a number of celebrities sent their support for Kesha, Wendy seemingly defended a judge, who denied the singer's request to be released from her recording contract with Sony under Dr. Luke's label. "Unfortunately, business is business, and it sounds like it's fair. If everybody complained because somebody allegedly sexually abused them ... contracts would be broken all the time," she said.
She also blamed the "Tik Tok" singer for not recording her alleged sexual abuse. "Kesha's no spring chicken. I mean she's, like, 30 years old?" Wendy pointed out. "So she wasn't stupid 10 years ago and neither was her mother when the sexual abuse - alleged sexual abuse - started. Why weren't they rolling camera on it? You know, a camera up in the wig?"
Shortly after the episode aired, a lot of Kesha's fans took to Twitter to express their anger at Wendy's statements. They accused the famous host of insulting the "Crazy Kids" hitmaker. "Did @WendyWilliams really just question why Kesha didn't FILM her sexual assault?! Is that a sick joke? What an insult to abuse survivors!" a Twitter user wrote.
Another user tweeted, "After hearing what Wendy Williams said about Kesha. I can say, I dislike Wendy Williams. Kesha's going through a hard time. Just be nice!"
