Wendy Williams condemned for speaking ill of TikTok star who was killed Wendy Williams (Photo credit: Bang media) Wendy Williams is being harshly criticized for the negative way that she spoke about the killing of rapidly-rising TikTok star Swavy. Swavy’s family severely rebuked Williams in an interview with TMZ that was posted on Sunday, July 11, 2021. They demanded that Williams apologize for the way she portrayed Swavy, whose real name was Matima Miller. Williams’ detractors derided the incredible insensitivity she displayed for the teen who was shot and killed in front of his own mother on Monday, July 5, 2021. During the Wednesday, July 7th episode, Williams made observers cringe when she showed a photo of Swavy and turned to stare at it for a long time until the audience chuckled as if something was wrong with Swavy. Williams also mentioned that she had never heard of Swavy before, but complained that Swavy had more TikTok followers than her, with over two million.
