Did Wendy Williams date rapper Eric B? Inside the tumultuous relationship, abortion and how he ‘did [her] dirty’
Wendy Williams is not biting her lip when it comes to depicting her past relationships in the Lifetime biopic ‘Wendy Williams: The Movie’ and one of the most controversial ones would be with Eric B — half of the hip-hop golden age duo Eric B & Rakim — who was recently arrested on a 17-year-old warrant.
In the film, the character of Eric B is portrayed by Jamall Johnson. The movie begins by showing the couple's tumultuous relationship and then hints at how Williams had to get an abortion. Reminiscing how she knew Eric B back in her radio days, Williams recently admitted, “So, I never really knew Ra back in the day, I knew Eric B, intimately.”
“A couple of very severe things happened to me while I was involved with Eric B, life lessons and you’ll see it because the movie’s a teachable moment. While it’s gonna be very dramatic, it’s a teachable moment.” The movie reflects on her relationship with DJ and rapper Eric B, how she went through an abortion and struggled through a series of miscarriages. She calls abortion 'one of the loneliest experiences in my life'. Williams later rued terminating the pregnancy as she had a tough time having a child in the future. A series of miscarriages left her feeling that she wouldn't experience motherhood again.
