Host Wendy Williams goes after Tommie Lee over Rob Kardashian romance rumors and gets challenged to roast

"Maybe she is doing better in life, and she has presented herself more of a better woman to Rob. Look, I am trying my best to be a better woman myself. But let’s review her history, and away we go,” said Williams as a collage of Tommie Lee’s mugshots appeared on the screen

On Thursday’s episode of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’, the host got down to her usual self during the ‘Hot Topics’ section. This time, she made sniping remarks at a member of the Kardashian family. 

With rumors of a budding romance between Rob Kardashian -- the brother of Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé -- and Tommie Lee, one of the main cast members on seasons 6 and 7 of the reality show ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’, the 55-year-old daytime talk show host made some observations.

“Listen, Rob, all I am saying is, you got to do better in your choices in life,” said Williams. “Whether it’s business, personal, family or whatever.”

She added, “So, Rob is now 32 years old and Tommie Lee is 35, and she has got two daughters... The daughters are 15 and 12. That is the age where you say, ‘You ain’t my father,’ okay. And one of the kids, the oldest who is 15, she had while she was in prison.”

“Tommie Lee, and I don’t know, all I am saying is -- you know how sometimes you mess up in life and you can do better? Maybe she is doing better in life, and she has presented herself more of a better woman to Rob. Look, I am trying my best to be a better woman myself. But let’s review her history, and away we go,” said Williams as a collage of Tommie Lee’s mugshots appeared on the screen. 

“Tommie has been arrested over 30 times!” exclaimed Williams. “One of the arrests was in 2018 for beating her younger daughter who is 12 now, or 11, at the school.”

“Tommie Lee is probably desired by a lot of men,” said Williams, making a comparison of the TV star’s mugshots and present-day photos, to the laughter of the in-studio audience. “Rob, I don’t know what kind of choices you’re making… But why attract the same type of women every time,” she concluded.

Lee did not take these comments too kindly. On her Instagram story, she wrote: “Wendy, I will roast yo a** all the way back to ya dealer, b***h. You will be DOA when I finish ya chill, sis! Dog face b***h!” She added, “I challenge Wendy Williams to a roast session! Nothing off-limits. Let’s go, h**.”

‘The Wendy Williams Show’ airs every weekday at 11 a.m. PT.
