Wendy Williams is apologizing — again.Following her recent apology for the Joaquin Phoenix “cleft lip” comments, about his facial scar, the talk show host said sorry again on Friday, this time for insulting members of the LGBTQ community by saying gay men “should stop wearing our skirts and heels” on Thursday’s show.In a video message posted to her social media, Williams said, "I’ll start by saying, I apologize. I did not mean to offend my LGBTQ+ community on yesterday’s show.”She continued, "I don't care if you're gay. You don’t get a menses every 28 days. You can do a lot that we do, but I get offended by the idea that we go through something you will never go through. And stop wearing our skirts and our heels. Just sayin' girls, what do we have for ourselves?"She added, “Lookie here now, gay men, you'll never be the woman that we are. No matter how gay, sir."While her remarks drew applause from the audience, there was backlash online.
Hey, @WendyWilliams,
This is not cute. It’s homophobic.
Do better. https://t.co/sOFiBBDHhM
#WendyWilliams going on an anti #trans rant for no good reason. Whining about periods as though periods are what's most important about women. Sorry, Wendy. You're not the decider of who can be a woman. Every person gets to decide who they are. Your input is not welcome.
