Wendy Williams has faced condemnation online for comments made about TikTok star Matima “Swavy Miller”, who died of a gunshot wound on Monday (5 July).
The US talk show host was accused of using Miller’s death in an attempt to make her audience laugh during a “Hot Topics” segment on a recent episode of The Wendy Williams Show.
Williams then said: “He’s a TikTok star and he’s got more followers than me. 2.5 million.”
Displaying a photo of Miller on the screen, Williams asked her audience to “clap” if they knew who he was.
