Live from Wendy's apartment in New York!
It's the Wendy Williams Show at home!
(upbeat music)
Now, here's Wendy!
(upbeat music)
(applause)
How you doin'?
I'm a little disturbed that people are so bored
that they have to go back into the archives
and talk about stuff that...
(sighs)
I don't care.
I'm speaking of Tyra Banks.
So, there's this young lady who was on
America's Next Top Model
back in 2006 and
she had a gap in her teeth, her name was Danielle Evans
and she ended up winning the episode
that particular season, but take a look at this.
So Danielle, you went to the dentist,
but you refused to have your gap closed?
Do you really think you can have a cover girl contract
with a gap in your mouth?
Yeah, why not?
This is all people see.
Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Cover Girl.
It's not marketable.
Just a little bit is okay,
but I don't wanna completely close it.
Well, I guess she just left a gap
wide open for another girl, baby.
I agree.
Okay, so...
Tyra is always, well, when that show was on,
was always hard on the models,
but Tyra and Miss J and them,
I guess they knew what modeling was for 2006
and Tyra's been a model all of her life,
but there've been gap-tooth people
to go along and become
world class models like Lauren Hutton.
Madonna's not a model, but certainly
she opens and closes her gap when she wants to.
(audience laughing)
But Tyra was trying to embark on her modeling,
so what better time to bring up something negative
about somebody that maybe you didn't
particularly like, Norman,
than when that person is trying to move along
and go along and do something big.
Like, this is Twitter's fault.
Digging in the archives, trying to take
Tyra down for some reason.
Quite frankly I don't even know
what Tyra was thinking by opening up
a 21,000 square foot place devoted to modeling.
Do people care that much about modeling?
It's not the Tyra thing, it's just...
So you go in there and what do you do?
You get new hair?
You get your make-up done?
You try on clothes?
What do you do in there?
Well, we'll never know because of corona,
it'd be a long time before that place opens.
If people will care.
In the mean time, Danielle has gone on with her life,
she's got a hat line, she does a little modeling,
she's in her 30s now.
I mean, geez, that was 14 years ago.
She's even been a model on the Wendy Show!
Yes!
You know we do our little fashion shows and stuff
and our models are always Wendy watchers
and, co-host, Danielle's been on our show before!
But I would like to see what Danielle,
'cause now Danielle does wanna talk about
what it was like being on America's Next Top Model
and we don't have to talk about the gap in the teeth.
I wanna hear her talk about
the time when Tyra had somebody
dress up in blackface.
What was behind that,
what were people really thinking.
And then time when one of the girls
in the competition's best friend died
and Tyra made the girl do a photoshoot
in a graveyard.
That whole world is just so weird to me.
I'd rather watch it from afar
and not know anything except when you open up the magazines
you see the pictures and things like that.
Anyway.
Floyd Mayweather's daughter, Yahyah,
well,
she's
going to jail
and there's nothing that her father's money can do
to keep her out.
This is really bad, man.
I already told you the story
about how Yahyah, while she was supposed
to be quarantining, no.
She goes over to her boyfriend's house.
NBA,
what's his name?
NBA Youngboy.
Never Broke Again.
NBA Youngboy.
Good music, but four kids and three babies' moms.
Is that correct?
Yup.
Okay, so he was at his house,
one o'clock in the morning,
laying with one of his babies' moms.
They weren't doing anything,
they were laying on the couch watching TV.
Next thing you know, Mayweather's daughter, Yahyah shows up
and comes right on in the house
and is like, "Who's this, who's this?
"This is my boyfriend, why you laying up in here?"
Well, it's one of his babies' mothers.
He's tethered to her for the rest of her life.
They're telling me to say alleged,
but you can read and find out
this is nothing alleged, but okay, alleged.
(audience laughing)
So the Mayweather girl gets so upset
and caught in her feelings
she goes to the kitchen and the fight goes to the kitchen
with the two girls.
Yahyah grabs not one, but two knives
and begins stabbing at the baby's mother.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Anyway.
So now the girl that Yahyah stabbed,
she says that her hand is paralyzed.
This is why this girls' going to jail.
Her name is Lapattra Jacobs
and she made a video where she's trying to show us
how she can't move her hand.
Look at her.
Yahyah
was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
This girl did go to the hospital,
she's got all the receipts from the healthcare workers.
While everyone was supposed to be quarantining,
well, NBA Youngboy and the girl, Lapattra, they were,
but Yahyah's going to jail.
She faces, what, five to 99 years?
99.
Well, that's a little excessive, but,
you know,
she's gonna do some time.
That'll learn her.
I never realized how many people that I know
who love to gamble.
Do you know that since we've been on quarantine,
I know a lot of people in my person life who,
we're talking on the phone, I was like,
"All right, so what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?"
I'm like, "Oh, I'm putting away my winter coats.
"Winter's over, I'm putting them all away
"What are you doing?"
They're like, "I'm gambling.
"I just lost this amount of money,
"I just won this amount of money."
Do you know gamblers, Norman?
Yeah, a couple in my family.
Yeah!
The gambling is big during quarantine
'cause all you have to do is get on your phone
or get on your computer.
And just gamble away.
Get on black.
You could play Black Jack and all that stuff.
Something was bothering me.
You know I love my hip-hop.
Something was bothering me and it didn't keep me awake,
but it was bothering me.
Remember when we were talking about the GOAT, LL Cool J?
Yep.
And remember when I said that I interviewed him,
he was the first rapper I ever interviewed
when I was a young girl in college?
And he came up and
he was just a rapper from Queens and nobody knew him
and he was trying to blow up?
And I said that I believe the big song he had out
was Mama Said Knock You Out?
I think you said Rock The Bells.
Whatever I said it was all wrong.
So it was...
I Need A Beat.
Now you look that up.
Taking it way back.
No, that was his first!
I Need A Beat was the song.
And it was bothering me, it was bothering me
and I was like, damn it, man, it wasn't Rock The Bells,
it wasn't Knock You Out, it wasn't any,
it was I Need A Beat.
There you go.
Anyway, there's a Texas...
(chuckles)
There's a Texas salon owner
who will be spending a week in jail
and owes $7,000
because she opened up her salon
'cause she's got kids to feed.
See, okay, her name is Shelley.
Shelley Luther.
Shelley Luther has a salon
and she violated the order to keep the salon closed,
but finally she was like,
"I don't care, I've got mouths to feed
"and I've got workers to employ
"and this is how I make my living."
So she opened up her salon,
she started doing hair, the cops showed up,
then in front of the cops and everybody
she tore up her
cease and desist order.
And threw it up in the air like a ticker tape parade.
(Norman laughing)
And then she was served,
something or another where she had to go to court,
so she gets to court
and she didn't...
The judge said, "Apologize to avoid jail."
And Shelley was like, "No, I'm not gonna apologize.
"I got kids to feed, mouths to feed,
"I'm not apologizing, no!"
She said that to the judge.
So the judge was like, "Oh, really?
"All right, well now you're gonna spend a week in jail
"and you owe us 7,000..."
I believe it was $500.
So as we're speaking right now,
Shelley is in jail.
See!
I sympathize with Shelley.
I do.
I sympathize with her because
I do understand when people have mouths to feed
and they've got businesses and
you grow close with people when you work
close like that at a salon.
You know your workers and you wanna be sure
that they're good and
you've got...
(sighs)
I sympathize with Shelley, but
I also sympathize with the rest of us
quarantining and obeying the law.
The weird thing is is that
the very next day
the governor of Texas, this happened in Texas,
the governor of Texas said,
"All right, everybody.
"Hair salons are now open!"
See, if Shelley just waited one more day,
but she didn't know!
She's a mom in distress!
A business owner in distress,
this is just awful!
So now you can actually go and get your hair
and nails and stuff done.
Ew.
But Shelley's still in jail!
Terrible.
Terrible.
So Adele just celebrated her 32nd birthday
and she's showing us her birthday picture.
This is her after losing 100 pounds.
She's single and she
has her baby
and I think she looks terrific.
She's supposed to come out with an album.
I don't know when the album will come out.
I'm sure you'll be waiting
because it's gonna probably be all about the divorce
and the heartache and the good times and the bad times
and whatever, but I think she looks great.
She said she lost the weight for her son
so she'd be nice and healthy,
but I also suspect she lost the weight
so her ex-husband can look at her like,
"Oh, damn."
(upbeat music)
