Wendy Williams, Dyana Williams BEEF: Former Boss Said She Never Fired Talk Show Host
"Queen of all Media" Wendy Williams is being shut down by her former boss, Dyana Williams who says she never fired the talk show host from her radio job at WOL Washington, D.C. The former program director says that Williams excerpt about her in the best-selling 2004 autobiography,"Wendy's Got The Heat" was completely false.
Wendy wrote:
"When I got back to D.C. after the job offer, I typed up my letter of resignation, giving WOL two weeks' notice," it read. "I gave it to my boss at the time, [station program director] Dyana Williams. That was the proper and professional way, I thought, to handle it. Dyana Williams told me, 'Don't bother with the two weeks' notice.'"
Wendy continued, "She basically told me to get the f**k out right then. She was very nasty and I was a little hurt. I had been a consummate professional my entire time in D.C. I never missed a shift and I represented the station well (as far as they knew). The way Dyana Williams handled that situation was very typical of the business, sad to say."
In an interview with HuffPost, the Dyana said only told Wendy to adjust her attitude problem but never fired successful talk show host, "I didn't fire Wendy," she continued. "In fact, I distinctly remember a meeting with her where I was giving her a critique and I said, 'You're talented, you have a bright future ahead of you. You just check your attitude.' That's what I said to her. I never said, 'You're fired' [...] I never fired anybody."
