Sexual assault and harassment have been a major topic in Hollywood lately. Wendy Williams revealed an incident she suffered while discussing her least favorite TV show guest.
Williams, 53, was addressing the sexual harassment allegations against veteran TV journalist Charlie Rose, then revealed the worst guest she's ever had on her daytime talk show, "The Wendy Williams Show."
"My worst guest, I'm not gonna name. But I can tell you this. It had to do with some groping, and you all saw it but didn't say a word. And I felt it and I didn't say a word. My staff saw it, and that guest will never be here anymore. He's not relevant anymore, anyway," Williams told her audience.
The veteran host explained that this particular guest overstepped a boundary during one of her signature hugs.
"He hugs me but lays in my breast inappropriately. And I didn't know what to do, 'cause I'm brand new on TV, whereas now I would definitely push somebody through a glass coffee table. I didn't know what to do," she recalled.
Williams declined to name names, but her fans went into detective mode and dug up a picture of who they believe the alleged groper is. They quickly called out comedian/actor Gilbert Gottfried and posted a photo from his 2011 appearance on the show where he can be seen resting his face on Williams' chest while embracing her.
Gottfried told Inside Edition he could not remember the details and said he wasn't aware if he'd been banned from the show. Williams has not confirmed if Gottfried is the guest she was talking about.
