“Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” darling Tokyo Vanity ruthlessly dragged Wendy Williams for calling her “portly.”

The controversial host discussed the reality star’s virginity during her segment on Tuesday. When describing Vanity, Williams poked her arms out in a wobbling motion and asked one of her staff members about the “portly girl” on “Love and Hip Hop.”

Vanity got wind of Williams’ remark and found it quite offensive. The reality star blasted the talk show host on her former cocaine addiction. The 23-year-old took to Instagram on Wednesday morning and wrote, “Her[Wendy Williams] toothbrush shaped ass was actually being rude 😩 the old me would have wrote a long drawn out “f**k you b***h” letter but I’m so fuckin blessed with confidence that it don’t matter God bless you WENDY stay off the powder it’s shrinking your legs suh.” She also expressed how excited she was to be featured on the “Wendy Williams Show until the “rude” comment was made.

Fans sided with Vanity and began roasting Williams in the comment section.

“Wendy manly ass mad because she dnt have curves like you she’s always in someone business 🙄… You’re right she need to stay off powder and worry about her man with her funny built ass,” a fan said.

“Don’t worry about that lopsided build a bear looking bihh😂,” another said.

“Wendy is just a old whinging fart! With her dumb a** ‘how you doing?’ line. She needs to stop✋.”

“LHH” star Erica Mena also added chimed in and wrote, “But You the legend Sis. That’s why she talking about you.”

Vanity’s ex-boyfriend Tabius Tate offered her support and added, “You successful now this is the beginning… when they quit talking about  is when u need to worry.”

The “That’s My Bestfriend” rapper has became one of fan favorites on “LHHATL.” She’s received hundreds of messages from fans who call her an “inspiration” to other plus size women. She also released her new song on Itunes titled “B.A.P.S”.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
