Wendy Williams Farts On Her Show : "I Did Not Fart" She Explains #FartGate

Wendy Williams insists she DID NOT pass gas on television as she clears up 'fartgate' incident

Wendy Williams is adamant she did not pass gas on her television show last week.  

Fans were convinced they heard the TV host fart last week on her show, but Wendy, 55, insisted that was not the case when addressing 'fartgate' on The Wendy Williams Show on Thursday.  

A member of Wendy's production team said the sound people could hear was actually coming from backstage.  

'I have never farted once on this show': Wendy Williams is adamant she did not pass gas on her television show last week

'Let me tell you something right now, okay?' Wendy started as 'Fartgate' appeared on the screen behind her. 'I don't lean over like this to release a fart, I lean over like this because it's comfortable. If I sit [straight up] all the time, it's heavy on my spine. I like to release my hips and lean. I've been doing this for 11 years on this show.'

'I have never farted once on this show,' she said. 'As a matter of fact, I barely fart, you know why? Gas gets released several different ways and mine is belching because all I do is talk.'

Had she farted, Wendy insists she would have stopped what she was doing to address it, because 'farts are always funny.' 

'By the sound of that fart, I would have had to go change my costume, I would have left a mark in the seat,' she said. 'I wouldn't even save the costume, I'd throw it away. It'd be soiled beyond soiled-tivity.'

The show's gaffer, John Anderson, said the sound that people could hear in the clip was the team preparing for a chemistry experiment segment backstage.   

'We were filling up a fish tank backstage and we didn't have the proper hose,' he said. 'It was sputtering like someone was farting. It wasn't Wendy!'   

Wendy went viral last week after she appeared to pass gas while speaking about football player Odell Beckham last week.   

Other fans used the incident to crack jokes, like @ThatCoreyCrow, who said, 'Wendy Williams farted on National TV and it was audible. I applaud her courage but her follow through was a little winded.

Others felt it was a dose of karma for Williams, after she sparked outrage for mocking actor Joquin Phoenix's cleft lip, with @bxymaddi stating, 'Wendy Williams has the nerve to mock Joaquin Phoenix, but farted on live TV for everyone to see.

Another Twitter user, @ChucklesCVIII, said, 'Wendy Williams only came to my attention recently when she mocked cleft lipped folks. I'm glad to see her on my TL now for something like farting on TV.

DISGUSTING

[AlexanderMagno 10,746]

lol Wendy Williams is a comedian, probably did it on purpose for the views and the headlines.

 

The "fart" came out exactly during her pause. That's not subtle at all 

 

Besides, I don't know how the sound works in that studio, but that fart sounds like it had a mic close to it lol it's not very realistic in my opinion.

She really backed that up

Farting would be the least problematic thing out of all that goes on on that show.
