Wendy Williams has been blasted by Twitter users over her 'classless' reporting of the death of TikTok star Matima Miller.
Miller was only 19-years-old when he was killed in a daylight shooting in Delaware earlier this week.
Williams, 56, discussed Matima's death on her Hot Topics segment earlier this week, but before revealing he had died, said she had no idea who he was and remarked on how his social media followers outnumbered her own.
'I have no idea who this person is': Wendy Williams has sparked outrage after leading a segment discussing the death of TikTok star Matima Miller by insisting she had no idea who he was
'I have no idea who this person is... neither does one person in this building,' Williams started off the segment, before asking the audience to clap if they knew who he was.
After just a small handful of people responded with applause, she continued: 'Well, he's a TikTok star. He's got more followers than me. 2.5 million!'
'On Tik Tok, but on Instagram you have more followers!' her producer, Norman Baker, clarified, earning cheers and applause from the audience.
'Well, as my son Kevin would say, no one uses Instagram anymore. And as far as TikTok, I don't use that at all. I don't know what that is, I don't want to be involved. So, here he is,' she said, gazing at a photo of the social media star on her screen.
