Wendy Williams kicked off Season 9 of her popular Wendy Williams Show by lighting the Empire State Building in NYC on Saturday, Sept. 18.
“I chose pink and purple, they literally gave me the color palettes to choose from,” Williams told ESSENCE.
The 53-year-old talk show Diva wore a floor length crushed velvet gown for her tower lighting ceremony.
Wendy shared the honor with her parents, Shirley Williams and Thomas Williams Sr.
She explained to ESSENCE what inspired her dream to light the Empire State Building.
She said when she first met her husband, Kevin Hunter, they drove around the city after having dinner in Times Square. “We got together and it was electric. We were insane about each other immediately,” she said.
During one of those drives, he pointed up to the Empire State Building and promised, “I’m going to get you up here, I’m going to get you up here.”

Auntie, Empire State Building is not at Times Square. It’s actually Herald Square. You can just see the building from 42nd st, but it’s on 34th st…
Ms. Sandra is Wendell paying you for this posts?! She has mentioned that she gets some of her gossip from your blog.
Congrats Sister Wendy!
I saw that too. Way to take away her shine…
Naw, I’m just happy to see her back on her show and healthy.
Thanks, hun.
Wendy is so anti Black, it’s so hard to support anything she’s about.
Wendy is shaped like an inverted isosceles triangle (think upside down witches hat) but she dresses it up ok
Okay, just making sure you’re getting your money.
Wendy is so watered-down. We need to let her go. Her and Whoopi Goldberg.
