Friend of the blog Wendy Williams was roasted on social media after she shaded a TikTok star who was shot to death.
Swavy, real name Matima Miller, was best known for his dance videos and comedy skits on TikTok.
Wendy correctly acknowledged that no one in her studio audience had ever heard of him.
“I have no idea who this person is … neither does one person in this building,” she said.
Someone tweeted out a clip of the segment on Thursday night and Wendy’s name trended for the worst possible reason (disrespecting the dead).
The clip garnered millions of views and nearly as many angry comments. Donations poured into a GoFundMe account to raise money for Swavy’s funeral expenses.
Trey Smith, who tweeted the clip, wrote: “i don’t know what i thought was gonna happen here but it’s so far past what i thought was gonna happen here.”
