‘You Look Like Wendy Williams’: Tami Roman’s New Look Has Fans Doing a Double Take

Former “Basketball Wives” reality star Tami Roman has fans seeing double in her recent Instagram photo. The mother of two uploaded a photo of herself in a blue “Duckin’ Bad Vibes” hoodie to advocate against gun violence. 

“Ducking Bad Vibes! @itsonkel_ #Hoodieseason,” the 49-year-old wrote for the caption. 

Whether you view it as a compliment or shade, fans of Roman felt as though her doppelgänger is none other than outspoken television host Wendy Williams. 

“Omg, you look like Wendy William in this picture.”

“Damn, I thought this was Wendy.”

“You look like Wendy Williams, twin.”

This isn’t the first time fans have claimed that Roman looked like Williams. On Sept. 28, 2018, the “Bonnet Chronicles” comedian uploaded a video of herself in the car rocking an ombre wig while jamming to Mary J.Blige. 

“What’s the 411…hun,” she wrote for the caption. “#FBF #IHaveFunInMyCar #carkareoke#AllThingsMJB #StillAbop.,” Roman added for hashtags. 

A fan wrote in the comment section, “Wendy Williams looks amazing.”

However, some of Roman’s followers weren’t here for the comparison and didn’t mind checking the social media user who commented. 

“No way she is more beautiful than Williams.”

“Gurllllll u tried it.. Never could Wendy look this good.”

“Girl, she looks better than Wendall.”

Roman and Williams aren’t the only two celebrities who’ve been compared to one another in the looks department. “Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality diva Kandi Burruss and “RHOA” guest cast mate Shamea Morton were also caught in the topic of celebrity look-alikes.

On Jan. 4, the reality stars posed together for a photo following the Atlanta Hawks vs. Indiana Pacers game. 

“My sis @kandi is such a good luck charm.🥰 Hawks win 116- over the Pacers 111 tonight🏀,” Morton wrote for the caption. “#chocolate #melanin #winnings #friends #family Shoes: @tagsboutique,” the mother of one added. 

Shamea Morton post her own photo of her hanging out with “RHOA” reality star Kandi Burruss after the Hawks beat the Pacers.

Fans were awed at how much Burruss and Morton favored in the picture. 

“TWINNING AND WINNING IN 2020! 😍.”

“Twinning 😍😍.”

“Y’all look like twins.”

“You and @kandi could pass as sisters. You both look so alike. Gorgeous ladies.” 

“Twinning fr🔥♥️.”

“You guys look so much alike in this picture, thought it was your sister for real.” 

As the old saw goes, “everyone has a twin,” and celebrities are no exception. 

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.
