Wendy Williams made some controversial comments about the #MeToo movement.

The talk show host discussed the movement during her “Hot Topics” segment of “Wendy” on Thursday morning.

Williams, 53, brought up the topic after mentioning a grassroots movement aimed at moving R. Kelly from the music industry.

“What is this 10 years too late,” she questioned.

She went on to explain that the #MeToo movement didn’t affect R. Kelly because she wasn’t a MeToo, noting Aliyah voluntarily married him when she was a teenager and she also recalled his infamous tape of him peeing on a young woman.

“This has nothing to do with #MeToo, R. Kelly is just a very, very sick man.”

Reese Witherspoon used her time at the podium during the ELLE Women In Hollywood Celebration on Oct. 16, 2017 to shed some light on being sexually assaulted by a director at age 16. "I've had multiple experiences of harassment and sexual assault, and I don't speak about them very often, but after hearing all the stories these past few days and hearing these brave women speak up tonight, the things that we're kind of told to sweep under the rug and not talk about, it's made me want to speak up and speak up loudly because I felt less alone this week than I've ever felt in my entire career.", she added.

“I'm sick of this #MeToo movement,” she then said around 15 minutes into the video, which was unrelated to her discussion about Pamela Anderson dating a younger man.

“I love that people are speaking up for the first time and speaking out and everything, but now it's got, I look at all men like you're a #MeToo, all of them, all of them, which is not fair,” Williams explained.

“And they're asking everybody at the Grammys to wear a white rose to support the #MeToo,” she continued as the crowd applauded.
