If you have a die hard (older) fan traveling in train with a Cane made it all the way inside to the screening area sat down with her tickets thinking she was going to get in, how the hell you are going to take her to tickets away? I don’t care how old this person may be, what race, what age she may be or what gender! It’s just wrong! No one deserves this. If you are outside on line I could understand yes but they are already inside come on Wendy. The are fans ( You lost many of us recently btw) that are faithful to you have gone to your show before they deserve a respect. Check your self!

Good thing I don’t care to ever go to any of these shows. because I know I’m not good looking, therefore they will not let me in.

Yes Wendy Williams show is somewhat racist, the cameras are always pointing out at the "white" good looking audiences, (I noticed it years ago). They do that because they want to reach out to the white people whom are better business. Indeed Wendy defend her black community, but when it comes to business , the show is very obviously white oriented. They just use the black thing as an identity.

Keep all of your arses home and let these brain dead talk shows be cancelled.

We were seated and they escorted us out. I don't know if they were being racist, but the people with me spoke no English.
-
Was the British there??
-
From every clip they showed of the Wendy audience, I only saw one person in their 30s with white hair, was that the older person everyone is talking about?
-
For once, Melanie takes a different approach about Wendy. ..

It is true. I’ve been to NYC four times from Ireland and tried to get tickets. We had to write gushing answers to questions and submit pictures. It was kinda degrading and felt like they didn’t want white folk

I've been on the Wendy Williams show as an audience member and they absolutely cast it. I am white and went with my mom as a "mom/daughter outing'. I'm from NJ. I was 27 at the time and my mom was 60. They put us right behind the cameras where you can only see us if the pan the audience before a commercial break. She does interact w/ her audience but just the ones they want for the "Ask Wendy". I believe these women, however I don't think Wendy is malicious or racist, she's just trying to cast a certain type and YES you do need to submit a photo.

This show is soo boring
-
Shut up white people it's enough
-
Such a stupid story.
-
It is racism & ageism. But that's been going on with those shows for years. But having to submit a picture is worse.
-
Brit lady is suchhhhhh a snob
-
BUT, If it was 3 black women getting removed for 3 white women this would be on every news outlet, just saying
-
did you all see the clip from yesterday where she called the Mexican Dynasty show "Dirty Mexicans"… can someone talk about that
-
They are reaching with this story. Please white ladies throw that race card away. The tickets don’t guarantee entry. It’s not racism. It just is what it is. Next…..

I tried going to the Wendy Williams show and decided not to go because I found out they asked for a photo. I think that shows do discriminate and use the “color picking up on camera” excuse to move some races, body types, people that look to them not appealing to tv, all shows do it or at least the majority, it’s terrible!
That needs to end, people come in different shades and shapes and we should embrace it. There’s so many that struggle with body image issues because their influences by what they see on tv or magazines …who decided if you’re beautiful enough or just …enough. You should decide for yourself. -
It probably was to many white people that day they’ll be alright
-
Oh shut up Melanie, there is always age discrimination and Wendy Williams show definately prefers a black demographic.
-
I think they move the audience around so that if they are filming 2 shows in one day they want it to look like a different audience for each show.
-
Wow if a ticket doesnt guaranty entry, that's really bad. Some people took day off from their job and traveled miles just to watch the show. Imagine you were sent off at the gate after you have travelled so long. And just because you are white or Asian or just being old?
Hmmmmmmm -
this story is dumb.

People reaching!!
