Janet Hubert ‘Aunt Viv’ Comes For Wendy Williams Over Whitney Houston’s Death
Posted by Media Outrage on February 22nd, 2012
Janet Hubert felt it necessary to express her feelings to Wendy Williams in an open letter.
Read it for yourself
Dear Wendy,
This past weekend was a very difficult time for so many of us.
Though I never knew Whitney Houston, I felt a profound sense of loss and sadness. On Sunday morning I took my dog for a walk in the park across the street and still could not shake the sadness I felt. I wondered if what I was feeling was perhaps related to losing my mother and brother this past year, but then I thought no, it was something else.
I watched the funeral service with the rest of the world, and cried time and time again with each story that was told. I felt like I knew more about this amazing woman than ever before. We all watched her as a little girl, center stage, singing like a bird, she was destined for superstardom. To watch her center stage full circle in death was a feeling no mother should ever have to feel. I applaud Ms. Warwick, the pastor, and all others who formed a police line of love and protection around her that was impenetrable only to those who really knew her. We, the public accepted their decision to keep it private, but they allowed us to witness her Home Going ceremony, I don’t know if I could have been so gracious. WE felt like we knew her and we knew nothing about her except what we read and hear from people like you and other media outlets. I listened to her interview with you and was compelled to say out loud. “Go on Whitney tell her like it is,” when you pried into her life back then. I had my son in the same year as Ms. Houston; we did Ebony Magazine that same year, she introducing her baby girl and me my son. I am trying to be dignified, but here goes.
The Internet has become somewhat like the 10 commandments, and this is why… whatever is posted or commented on… is forever written in stone. Neither I nor anybody can stop anyone from making up stories, reviews, lies etc, cutting and pasting whatever they decide to put together like a bad buffet breakfast.
I have had some horrible meals shoved down my throat on the web that I had no parts of.
I still have a bad taste in my mouth from a recent cut and paste meal from your beloved TMZ (THE MUDSLINGING ZONE). I believe you said once “If you heard it on TMZ then it must be true,” really Wendy?
The Internet is indeed the information highway, but it can also be “a Forum of Hate.”
You said that morning with tears in your eyes, that you would not discuss Whitney any further, but you crucified her the whole time she was alive, as you do so many people on your show. I want to ask you why? What do you get out of this besides money?
How do you sleep at night knowing that you are one of the biggest bullies in the world disguised as HOT TOPICS? Celebrities are not topics we are people, just like everyone else, we hurt and we hear and we bleed real blood, not fake blood, just as you do.
How do we as parents teach our children to honor each other, treat each other with kindness when all they see are images of people like you who condone and promote meanness, rude reality TV stars, and your opinion as you berate world renowned people like Janet Jackson, Gwyneth Paltrow, and others you slam on a daily basis.
I keep asking myself why no one is saying anything about this. What the hell are they afraid of? Where are my sisters out there who feel as I do?
Well Wendy, I try to teach my son to stand up, shout, and scream when there is injustice. Yeah yeah, I know, I have been screaming for years and will continue to do so as long as there are images that depict black women as neck shaking, over bearing women who can’t get along.
A sister, a mother, a daughter, a star, left this world way too early; she was loved by the world. The world mourned, I don’t think that we needed you to try and take down another brilliant sister on that following Monday morning. (Your rude comments about Janet Jackson)
You started right back up without hesitation or pause… you need to stop Wendy. We need to stop, and the world needs to stop. I need to stop as well. There will be no more quotes from me to be misquoted. We need to join together, wrap our arms around our children, everybody’s children. Remember you have a child who will suffer every slingshot and arrow that gets thrown back at you Wendy; our public lives greatly affect our children.
I know I am going to suffer some arrows for writing this letter to you, I know you are loved by many, but remember this Wendy; they love you when you are up and they love to take you down. You will not always be up, you will not always be on the A list and attend all the parties. Ride the wave sister girl, but make sure you know how to swim when the ride is over. Artists are survivors, we work hard to build our crafts and careers and I ask that you simply remember that in the future.
I’m just sayin’ it like l mean it too.

Well, How You Doing. I agree with her. I rolled my eyes real hard when Wendy was crying. All she does is put out FAKE stories from the National Enquier. Who in the hell can take her seriously. I heard her husband likes boinking drag queens. Where was the “Hot Topic” segment on that.

So much to say, so little room, so little time. While I somewhat agree with Janet, I don’t get the point of this letter. We all know that Wendy Williams is being paid well to do what she does and say what she says.
From the first time I saw her, I believed that she was born a he, which made the show too distracting for me to watch. However, there is nothing unique about what she is doing. Yes I have a problem with everything about her, which is exactly why I DON’T watch her show.
But unless the one who is complaining is the same one who is signing her check… I believe that Janet Hubert is overwhelmed with emotion about a lot of things and is bitterly venting in a random sort of way. I hope she feels better soon.

I think that the purpose of the missive was not so much about her (Janet) from a personal standpoint, but moreso, how any person who is somewhat concerned about our culture, progress as a culture etc. undoubtedly is likely to see her, (Wendy)and also, perhaps to elicit a response as to her motivatation to be an instrument to the destruction of the careers of those who are members of that same ethnic society as she,while making matters worse by fabricating and insinuating that which she can. Just because she (Janet) is or was ‘overwhemed with emotions about a lot of things’, doesn’t mean she should tuck her tail ‘tween her legs and lick her wounds.(pardon my expression). The letter puts a much needed full checking on Wendy who idolizes the likes of Howard Stern and tom joyner, who also built their carrers on dethroning our nations kings and queens. Much blessings to Janet.

This is Awesome…
I Really Enjoy Your Site…

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

here, here Janet, I agree with you 100%, the media has slammed Whitney enough, why add more, let’s talk about her success, Whitney is not the only one that has had a down fall, Quite sure Wendy Williams has too just not focused on, let her Rest in Peace and remember she has a mother and daughter out there who are listening, where’s the respect, come on all.

You can definitely see your skills in the paintings you write. The arena hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
