Wendy Williams Slams Beyonce: "She Sounds Like She Has a Fifth Grade Education"
Wendy Williams Slams Beyonce:
December 7, 2012

If this is how she talks about people she admires, we'd hate to get on Wendy Williams' bad side.

The outspoken talk show host had some harsh words for Beyonce while discussing the newly released trailer for the pop icon's new documentary during her show Thursday, Dec. 6.

"I am a Beyonce fan. I'm gonna watch her upcoming documentary, because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning, so I'll be able to understand what she says," Williams said. "You know Beyonce can't talk. She sounds like she has a fifth grade education."

Not surprisingly, the audience in her studio didn't take too kindly to Williams' surprise -- not to mention, totally unwarranted -- attack on the Grammy winner, 31.

"Excuse me, I just said I was a fan," the host said in reply to a chorus of boos. "But we have to call a spade a spade."

Beyonce's documentary special is set to air February 16, 2013 on HBO.

Tell Us: Do you think Williams' comments were out of line?

Has anyone heard Wendy's husband speak? Well the answer is probably no. That young man (8 years her junior) sound as if he has about a fifth grade education. Wendy is so critical of other people. Tell her to bring her husband on stage and let him speak.

My point is she doesn't need an education. The woman is a multi-millionaire and at the top of her career. That is why people go to college to make more money, but she doesn't need a degree. There are a lot of college educated people that aren't as wealthy and successful as her. Also, I personally know some college educated people who's grammar is autrocious! So what does education have to do with anything? I'm not knocking education, because I have a degree. I'm a third generation college educated person. My whole family has degrees. Yet, people are knocking her and at the end of the day, Beyonce's having the last laugh. She's wealthy, has a daughter, husband, success, and on the TOP of her career. She has it ALL literally. So obviously there's some envying and hate going on. Wendy Williams will never be on the level of Beyonce. Wendy has probably gotten mad, because Beyonce probably had snubbed being on her low rated show. That would be beneath Beyonce to appear on her show, because Beyonce is an A-lister and Wendy is a D-lister. Her show will probably be off the air soon. Oprah had way more class and showed black women in a positive light. Wendy is an embarrassment to black women. Black women aren't all catty, mean spirited, and gossipy. There are enough basketball wives shows that put a negative light on black women, and Wendy makes it worse.

You beyonce fans are nutty like she is. Your only defense is she can sing and dance and is a millionaire? Fantasia can sing and wrote her own songs but couldn't even read! So being musically talented doesn't warrant a lack of education

Wendy is hilarious and it is ridiculous that Beyonce would be so successful with her career and not hire herself speech educational tutors. Surely she's smart enough to be embarrassed by her poor use of the English language... or is she??

Wow, somebody finally caught on to it. For years I kept trying to figure out was it me or did Beyonce receive a diploma or GED. You go Wendy, she keep it real.

I admit I didn't know much about Wendy Williams until I googled her....The fact that when she was in radio in 2008 she went on air and told all her listeners that a rappers wife (Method Man) had cancer when his wife had not even told her family or children and theb accused the rapper of sleeping with his wifes doctor which was a complete lie...I have ZERO respect for this sorry excuse for a human being.

People, Wendy isn't talking about her accent, she's talking about how she talks in interviews, she really does talks all over the place when doing them..but I thought she was going back to school because I did see her in pic where she had school supplies in her hand..

I totally agree with Wendy. You can tell that she was taken out of school too soon. She just needs to take some speaking/interviewing classes.
