"I have no idea who this person is, neither does one person in this building," Wendy began, before asking the audience to clap if they had heard of Swavy. After a few responded positively, Wendy said, "Well, he's a TikTok star. He's got more followers than me."
Although it was noted Wendy had more followers on Instagram than Swavy, the talk show host wasn't impressed because her son told her no one uses Instagram anymore. After almost a minute of the stat chatter, a photo of Swavy was posted behind Wendy, who appeared unimpressed with it, before she announced, "Here he is. He's 19 and he was murdered Monday morning."
An audible gasp arose from the audience.

Wait. This was how she chose to lead the segment talking about this young man’s death? We all know Wendy to be messy and with the shits, but this wasn't cool at all. I don't know this man, but may he rest in peace. I'm sorry his friends and family had to see this. Wow... pic.twitter.com/u9zuva0DHy

@WendyWilliams what did this person do to you? I can't imagine the uninvited pain you must've heaped on this young man's family. My bigger question is Why? Your producer is no better.

Don’t take it personal, I think Wendy just had a very weird delivery. She announced the passing of her own mother in a similar way pic.twitter.com/30BKer4j9k

She & everyone in the audience are so disrespectful. Right after this she said “those poor followers” & everyone started laughing. Imagine his family seeing this? Absolutely disgusting. I can’t wait till I see that this show is getting canceled. should’ve happened a long time ago

Do you speak respectfully about victims of murder or are you Wendy Williams, ONTD??
