Talk show Diva Wendy Williams executive produced the widely panned Aaliyah biopic TV movie that aired over the weekend. The backlash on Black Twitter ranged from casual disinterest to naked outrage. You would think Black Twitter users were related to Aaliyah the way they reacted.
They could have simply turned the channel if they didn’t like the movie. Instead they tuned in and gave Wendy the highest rating of a TV movie this weekend. But we all know how rude and disrespectful Black Twitter can be when they think they’re anonymously hiding behind their computer monitors.
Miss Wendy took the negative backlash in stride on her #1 rated daytime talk show this morning.
“I see my Aaliyah movie broke the Internet this weekend. Errybody got an opinion,” she joked during the “Hot Topics” segment of her wildly popular Wendy Show.
