‘I’m Sick of Her’: Joseline Hernandez Clarifies Why She Blasted Wendy Williams

When it comes to Joseline Hernandez’s fiery conversation with Wendy Williams the reality TV star’s mood is I said what I said.

In a May 18 interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” Hernandez doubled down on her sentiments about Williams giving her female guests their “flowers” instead of constantly bringing them down. This comes after Hernandez’s guest appearance on “The Wendy Williams Show” in April where she expressed to Williams that she wanted and deserved respect from the seasoned TV host. She also pointed out that Williams should be “nicer” to the “ladies” specifically.

To “ET,” she elaborated on her views of Williams’ character. “She was very rude, and as the host, no matter who you are, you still should be respectful to the people that sit in front of you and speak to you and give you their story or their time and their conversation,” she said.

Explaining why she feels she deserves respect, the “Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta” alum began to list the things she’s currently working on, which she believes make her a boss. She said, “I’m doing big things out here, I got two shows that I own, I franchise.” The 34-year-old continued, “I’m doing my thing, I got an actual cabaret show that we are going to Vegas next season. But you always want to compare me with people,” she said referring to Williams.

During the outspoken divas’ heated argument, Williams threw flowers at the camera towards Hernandez, an act that was more scornful than respectful. “When she threw the flowers at me, when she was being real disrespectful and not acknowledging the fact that when Latinas and Black women sit on her couch, she’s always going for annihilation,” Hernandez said as a response to Williams’ actions. She added, “She don’t give me my props for nothing that I do. I’m 35 years her junior and she don’t give me no props.”

Hernandez acknowledged Williams’ empire has been built off of her throwing shade and being truthful, even if it’s harsh, but she says it’s time the 56-year-old “reinvent herself.” Hernandez has been on Williams’ show a few times, so it’s possible the two could have had some sort of a relationship. Hernandez said Williams tried to reach out the day after the interview but her response was, “’I don’t want to talk to that B--C-H,’ I’m sick of her.”

Let’s see if Hernandez and Williams can make amends.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

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.

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.
