Wendy Williams Says She's Sick of the #MeToo Movement

Source: The Cut

Problematic fave talk-show host Wendy Williams, doesn’t believe sexual-assault allegations against R. Kelly should be grouped in with the #MeToo movement — which she claims she’s “sick of.”

A recent grassroots campaign has put the singer back in the news several months after women claimed he held them in a sex cult. Using the hashtag #MuteRKelly, two women are trying to remove R. Kelly’s music from Atlanta radio and get him banned from the industry.

“What is this, ten years too late?” Williams told the live audience this morning on The Wendy Williams Show. “It’s not gonna work. Black people aren’t really good at protesting. Not since the King march.” (#MuteRKelly is already responsible for helping cancel the musician’s concerts in eight cities.)

Williams also brought up R. Kelly’s legal marriage to underage musician Aaliyah.

Women of color were/are the leadership backbone of the Women's March, and the #metoo movement's founder was an African American woman. Thank you, Tarana Burke!

She doesn't have a leg to stand on. 15 year old kids can't legally consent.

that suggest she's okay with Kelly molesting a child and then marrying them. I'm pretty sure she didn't vote for Trump who has repeatedly talked about his desire to "date" and screw his daughter.

She likely did not vote for Donald Trump, but she made it seem like voting for Hillary Clinton was just about as bad as voting for Trump. It seemed to me that she made it very clear that she was not happy that she might have to vote for Hillary Clinton.

She once got into a great deal of trouble with black people for asking the stupid question that numerous white right wingers ask, "How would black people feel if there were such a thing as historically white colleges?" Beyond that statement she routinely says things that many people think are stupid and misguided.
