What the hell is going on with wendy?

I mean, everybody's been asking me,

"behind the scenes, behind the hype,

I mean, wendy, how you really doin'?"

I've had a lot of time

to think about it,

and I've had enough

with everybody else telling me

who I really am.

So now it's time to dish my own dirt...

And, honey...

Nobody does it better.

If you really want

to know my truth,

come here.

Closer. Closer.

Come walk a mile in my size 11s.

once upon a time,

there was a little girl w ho was a really big misfit.

Yup. Aged 11, size 11.

Welcome to the street where I grew up.

One day, the city council o f neighboring asbury park,

where we had our first family home...

Get in here now, wendy!

...Will unanimously vote

to rename this street w endy williams way.

Yup! Wendy williams way.

We're late, and we got to get you ready.

Back then, people just wanted me out the way.

how many times I got to talk to you about this?

When we get to the party,

please, remember the code-- tl, tf, tm.

"wendy, don't talk too loud.

Wendy, don't talk too fast.

Wendy, don't tell too much."

ow! Mommy!

Wanda, can you come in here and help me, please?

Sure.

Wendy, we just bought you a size 12.

Now we're going to have to go and get a 14.

What are you going to do next, girl?

Wendy...

You'd be so beautiful if you'd just lose some weight.

I'll do it myself, then.

Let me just help you.

No, I can do it.

Okay.

Yes!

Ta-dah!

Tommy, did you help wendy sneak twinkies?

Nope!

I'm going to a party!

yes!

this day stands out in particular

as, shall we say,

formative.

Here's what I was thinking.

If I obey the rules for once in my life

and get my butt on that winning chair,

I will be the hero today.

mom!

It's my birthday!

I was supposed to win!

turns out,

even when I do play by the rules,

things don't always go my way.

What-what happened?

I'm the fat black girl w ho broke the chair,

but she gets to cry.

Yeah, right!

Well, thank you for having us.

It wasn't my fault, okay?

I can't take you anywhere.

Just come on!

Mom...

Dumaur.

there you go.

ah, all those gorgeous celebrities,

with their perfect bodies, f ame, and good fortune.

That's what I wanted.

I told myself,

one day.

One day.

come on, wendy.

are the rumors true?

what you wearing? What are you wearing?

Just one comment, just one comment!

are you cheating on your husband?

but it wasn't gonna happen just like that,

you know?

I mean, no fairy godmother w as coming to rescue me.

it's your weight putting pressure on your bladder.

it was anxiety. -I didn't...

Let's try a new diet.

Tuna fish in brine with mustard.

But...

That's it.

I told myself,

one day,

you will show the world

that a big girl can handle hers.

Too much, too fast, too loud, too big--

it will all make sense one day.

It was my futuristic vision.

oh.

I got myself to college, a nd discovered radio.

by sophomore year, I had my own radio show!

Hey, hey, hey,

roving reporter wendy williams here,

bringing you the latest neighborhood scuttlebutt.

I set my sights on the big apple--

that's where my idol, d j carol ford, was working.

In the beginning,

I had to go where the work was,

including going to st. Croix.

But I did not give up.

I always had a back-up plan.

I kept on plugging,

and, eventually,

visionary radio titan cathy hughes

hired me to come work for her in dc.

Hi! Good morning!

Oh! Good morning, ms. Hughes.

Dyana.

Nice shoes.

Oh, thank you.

And I like yours, too.

Oh, and I just want you to know

that I've really been thinking about how to be an asset here,

and, uh, I really appreciate you hiring me.

Did you hear?

I'm interviewing ricky tony today.

I mean, he is so...

Mm-hmm. -Cute.

okay, I know what you're thinking.

I mean, I'm looking good, right?

Yeah, well, this particular diet I was on

was a whole lot more fun

than tuna fish in brine with mustard.

coke was everywhere in those days.

It suppressed my appetite

and gave me

all the chemical courage I thought I needed.

Seemed like nothing w as going to stop me.

Nothing.

But I was about to be proven wrong...

Ricky tony is here with us,

and his hit single, "make you feel it,"

is burning up the charts.

This is wol 1450 am, I'm wendy williams,

and... Hi, ricky.

Hi, wendy.

What's up, dc/maryland?

Nice to be back in the chocolate city!
