Dirtyicecreamz 1,558 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 So lately everyone is VERY pissed off that Wendy Williams is hosting the weekly live viewing parties of Drag Race on VH1 ! RPDR alums (Detox, Alaska) are ranting on twitter too. Also, in a new interview with Hey Qween, a drag queen named ErickaToure talks about how back in 2009 she was almost denied entry to the Wendy Williams Show by producers and then made to sit somewhere in the back of the audience so the camera wouldn't see her (because she was dressed in drag). The drag queen says that she tried to come back years later but was rejected (from sitting in the front seat) EVEN THOUGH the producers had told her on the phone that she could come back dressed in anything she'd like.... smh Wendy has also made some questionable comments that are to a certain extent 'transphobic' (depending on your definition of that word) but at the same time, I've seen her talk about Caitlyn's transition and she had nothing but encouraging stuff to say. Do you think Wendy should be axed from hosting the viewing parties?? TBH, I don't think it's that big a deal. I mean it literally lasts like 5-10 minutes maximum + Wendy has a huge daytime TV audience which will help attract new viewers as the show is clearly trying to break into mainstream TV. I completely understand why people would not be very fond of Wendy considering she's been rude/disrespectful many times and is also very clumsy in her choice of words when she discusses ANY topic looool but calling her a flat out enemy, ......really? Shouldn't we focus on the REAL enemies? i.e the trumps, mike pences, and ultra-conservatives that are trying (and succeeding btw) to literally BAN ANY FORM of LGBT existence/expression/visibility with bathroom bills and new laws that are set to emerge? Perhaps she should apologize for some of the comments she's made in the past.. but Lmao it's wendy so i doubt she will Stop the music, Start the drama.

kvnrp 48,353 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think that VH1 Pre-Show, Mid-Show, After-Show thingy was so unnecessary tbh It added absolutely nothing to Drag Race IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Kardashian 2,708 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I was honestly SHOCKED when they announced her as a host on that show, I was sure RuPaul doesn't like her shady and messy ass personality. A few days ago Ru made a comment on social media hinting that she doesn't like her that much/didn't pick her as a host so now I think it was VH1 that made the choice and not Ru.

Lady Palutena 2,994 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I think she is deplorable and I cringed when I tuned into the season premiere and saw her hosting that viewing party. Adoremus in caelum, Palutena. Dea luminis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batwings 12,695 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 The whole viewing party crap was utterly pointless anyway. Just nix the whole thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know! this is why I don't get the immense uproar, it's not even a show lol. It's a few seconds of them talking to keep viewers from switching channels. Stop the music, Start the drama.

ManuelColon 702 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Drag Race is not about the viewers, it's about the contestants, the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent in them. Wendy is the same as Perez Hilton, a hypocrite that kisses everyone's ass when they need to, but in a second they can start talking literal **** on you. It is a big deal to have her do that minimal viewing party because, as i said, she's the kind of person that ''supports'' the queens and the program but when she get's bored she will drag them just for fun. She IS an enemy because she's two sided enough to do the bad against the community. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayman 5,908 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 "almost denied entry to the Wendy Williams Show by producers and then made to sit somewhere in the back of the audience so the camera wouldn't see her (because she was dressed in drag)" That doesn't sound too unreasonable to me tho? Studio audiences aren't a place for drag, they're supposed to be average boring looking people to fill seats, not to draw attention away from the actual show. I live in NY and have gotten tickets to live show tapings and there is usually a dress code so that way the audience will blend together and not draw attention away from the show when shown on camera. Wendy is pretty trashy tbh, but that does sound like a bit much to be upset over. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauntingHollow 4,310 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 for years i have thought that Wendy was a drag, until i googled her... well, i have no words You can not hide if nobody pays attention to you :* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weed 67,142 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I don't feel like she genuinely cares about drag race, which is a beacon of our community, so I don't think she deserves it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panchecco 17,161 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I mean I don't mind some drama and some T but with all the people they could have asked to, choosing Wendy was... uhm... reductive + since so many people feel the same about her, especially considering she wasn't really nice to drag queens and didn't care that much they should replace her with someone else HELL maybe even a youtuber like Tayler Oakley or even a past queen like Bob, Bianca or Alaska since she just won All Stars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
