Twitter Slams Wendy Williams After Ariana Grande Body-Shaming Comments, Prompts Hashtag #CancelWendyWilliams

by Alyssa Toomey Fri., Aug. 14, 2015 3:50 PM PDT

Safe to say Wendy Williams has landed herself in hot water with a number of Ariana Grande\'s fans. 

The 51-year-old talk show host found herself on the receiving end of rampant criticism after she made a few controversial comments about Ariana Grande and seemingly body-shamed the 22-year-old pop star on

"She\'s 21. She\'ll forever look 12," Williams said as the audience laughed. "And I don\'t mean that in a good way. It\'s nice to look younger than you are, but when you look too young and then you\'re short—she\'s only like 4\'11". I don\'t look at her as, like, a woman." 

Her comments prompted the hashtag #CancelWendyWilliams to trend on Twitter on Thursday evening as fans of Grande banned together to try and get the show taken off air. 

Unsurprisingly, many of the tweets were very passionate.

#CancelWendyWilliamsShow because she basically dehumanizes every person she talks about. Nobody needs that.

#CancelWendyWilliamsShow So, since you are petite and look younger you don\'t deserve to be considered a woman? ?? https://t.co/KsICmijXdj

being a real woman has nothing to do with your size or the way your face looks. #CancelWendyWilliamsShow pic.twitter.com/rHASEZvrSJ

There were also those who claimed Williams was jealous.
