'Wendy Williams' Show 2016: This Actress Just Let The TV Talk Show Host Have It On Twitter [VIDEO]
Wendy Williams seems to be even more vocal about entertainment news and celebrities than usual. And while she has come for stars like Ciara, the Kardashians and more recently, one star has made it clear she will not stand by as Williams comes for her and her family.
Actress Holly Robinson Peete responded to Williams’ statements about her OWN reality series For Peete’s Sake. Peete has been very open about her family’s connection to autism, as one of her sons has been diagnosed with the condition.
During her show on Friday, Williams was speaking on recent reports that Victoria and David Beckham will be getting their own reality series. She said it might not work for them because the reality TV audience wants to see more drama and shenanigans than the Beckhams could bring to the small screen. She then referenced Peete and her family’s show and added, “Holly, Rodney, You know I love you Peetes. I tried but I got to tell you something. There’s no place on TV anywhere it seems for shows like this. The bar has been risen. Ms. Peete is 80 years old, she’s dating, she’s cute but nobody cares.”
Well, Holly definitely cares.
She headed over to Twitter to let Williams know she won’t tolerate the daytime talk show host throwing shade at her and her family. She called out Williams for being negative before the gave her a little “shade” repellent and checked her for not knowing all the facts about the show.

@santinocomo that’s OK negative people can’t appreciate positivity
— Holly Robinson Peete (@hollyrpeete) April 22, 2016
When negative people try to pointlessly attack your positivity it’s only a sad commentary on their own inner darkness. Amen? #ForPeetesSake — Holly Robinson Peete (@hollyrpeete) April 22, 2016
