Wendy Williams has criticised her brother Tommy Williams after he alleged that she didn't attend their mother's funeral service. The TV host's brother, Tommy Williams, claimed that she didn't attend the service because she wanted to spend time with her ex-hubby, Kevin Hunter.
The media personality denied that she skipped her mommy's funeral when she talked about her family drama on her show called The Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday, 19 January.
The 56-year-old star said that she was there during the funeral of her mom, Shirley Williams. She passed away last November. Wendy told Tommy:
"Tommy, you know I was at mommy's service and you know she looked beautiful in her casket."
The former radio host shared that her ex-husband attended the funeral because he was invited. Wendy went on to accuse her brother of fighting a family member who is half his age during the memorial service. She claimed he started a fight over an open casket while her mother was "right there".
"And thank God we were at a civilised funeral home, and the men of the funeral home blocked so mommy wouldn't fall out and there'd be a catastrophe. You should know better at 53."
eonline.com reports that news of Wendy and Tommy's feud went viral online after he posted a video to YouTube recently alleging she skipped out on the important ceremony.

In other entertainment news, Briefly.co.za reported that outgoing US President Donald Trump has pardoned rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black on his final day in office. The White House reportedly announced early on Wednesday, 20 January that Trump granted a pardon to Wayne and a commutation to Kodak Black.
Lil Wayne had pleaded guilty to illegal gun possession on 11 December, 2020 following a December 2019 arrest. He was facing 10 years in jail. He was due to be sentenced soon.
The rapper caused a stir on social media towards the end of 2020 when he publicly endorsed Trump a few weeks before the US presidential election. Some people shared that he had sold Black people as they believed that Trump was a racist.
CNN reported that Kodak Black had been arrested in April 2019 on gun and drug charges while trying to enter the US from Canada. He pleaded guilty in that case in March 2020. The news outlet reports that Kodak's sentence was due to be served concurrently with another 2019 weapons charge. He had been sentenced to more than three years for it.
