Wendy Williams is known for speaking her mind and not holding back. On her most recent show, Williams addresses Nicki Minaj for marrying an alleged molester. 

Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, was forced to register as a sex offender in California. According to NY Daily News, “Petty was convicted of first-degree attempted rape in 1995 but failed to register as a sex offender after moving to Los Angeles from New York.” 


In a video clip, Williams says, “You should’ve never married him, because now you’ve ruined everything about what your brand could be, again. You’re never gonna stand a chance when you’re with a man who pulls a knife at rape point … a molester … a registered sex offender.” 

This isn’t the first time Minaj and Williams have shared their opinions on each other. Last November, Minaj said, “It’s not about doing your job. There are people who report the news and there are people who do it with an evil intent in their heart, viciousness. And I pray for you because I know you’re hurting and I know you must be sick and humiliated” as reported by oxygen.com

Minaj has not made a statement, but she rarely ever keeps quiet. You can catch ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ every Monday through Thursday on BET.
