Wendy Williams — either you love her or you hate her.
The self-proclaimed Queen of All Media has built her career on digging up celebrity dirt and blasting the news on radio and television. While gossip lovers can’t get enough of her tell-it-like-it-is attitude and “How You doing?” personality, many high-profile stars have publicly voiced their dislike of Williams’ work style.

As we reported earlier, the most recent public figure to have an issue with the talkshow host is Janet Hubert, the first Aunt Viv from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Now, lets take a look at 10 other celebs who have had public beef with Mrs. Williams.
1. Method Man
In 2006, Method Man voiced his displeasure with Wendy Williams after she broke a story about the rapper’s wife suffering from cancer. He had planned to keep the news private, however, after Wendy aired the news on her radio show he sent a threat, saying she will “be dealt with.”
2. Whitney Houston
Back in Wendy’s radio days, she had an infamous an-air confrontation with the late Whitney Houston. After the she repeatedly asked Houston about her alleged drug problem, the singer shot back with, “If this were back in the day in Newark, I’d meet you outside.”
If anyone could go head-to-head with Wendy it was definitely Whitney!
3. Mariah Carey
Mariah and Wendy have publicly gone back and forth with each other for years — while some comments have been subliminal, others have been more, well, to the point. In 2008, Mariah Carey spoke about Wendy’s interview style in her song “Touch My Body,” singing, “‘Cause they be all up in my business like a Wendy interview but this is private, between you and I”. And most recently, Wendy called Mariah “classless” for feud with Nicki Minaj on American Idol.
4. Diddy
If the rumors are true, the the beef between Wendy and Diddy started after he had her fired from Hot 97 back in the day. They went years without speaking, but in an interview last year, Wendy said she’s finally moved on and is “over it.”
“I’m over it in a good way and he’s also over it. We’ve seen each other socially and that may be something you see this season on the show. Sometimes you need absolute growth and supreme peace in your own life and make peace with people that you didn’t even want to be in the same room with. That’s where I am right now,” she said.
5. Tyler Perry, Usher and LL Cool J
Wendy is known for speaking her mind and at different points in her career she’s made references about Tyler Perry, Usher and LL Cool J being gay. Since then, all three stars have refused to visit her show.
7. Beyonce
Now we haven’t got a response yet from Bey, but she definitely has good reason to dislike Wendy after the talk show host said she “sounds like she has a fifth-grade education” during the “Hot Topics” segment of the Wendy Williams Show.
8. Tupac
Some of Wendy’s beefs date back to the early 90s and he most popular one is the feud with the late Tupac Shakur. After she reported that Tupac was raped in jail, the rapper went on a tyrant to retaliate against her. He wrote a song called “Why U Turn On Me,” in which he said Wendy was overweight and needed to try Jenny Craig — along with a lot of other cruel things that we can’t repeat here.
