Exclusive: Wendy Williams Loses Chevrolet Sponsorship Over Anti-HBCU and Anti-NAACP Remarks

July 9, 2016

Wendy-Williams-on-Jesse-Williams-BET-speech

Wendy Williams REALLY got herself into some trouble over the offensive comments she made about HBCUs and the NAACP earlier this week.

As you’ve probably already heard, while discussing Jesse Williams’ BET Awards acceptance speech during her ‘Hot Topics’ segment, Wendy basically denounced the existence of both HBCUs and the NAACP.

“On the other hand, I would be really offended if there was a school that was known as a historically white college. We have historically black colleges. What if there was the National Organization for White People, only? There’s the NAACP,” said Wendy.

Well, sources exclusively tell lovebscott.com that Wendy LOST the show’s Chevrolet sponsorship as a result of her anti-HBCU and anti-NAACP comments.

In April of this year, The Wendy Williams show struck an all-inclusive deal with Chevrolet, Carat Media and ACE Media Corp. to include on-air promotion of the 2016 Chevy Malibu. The activation included custom digital content, social media marketing, and was set to continue for the rest of the year.

Not anymore.

Our sources say that Wendy has been “sobbing all week” over the loss, although she refuses to apologize.

We’re not sure who exactly pulled the plug, but it should be noted that Andrea Holmes Thompkins, President and CEO of ACE Media Corp (the company responsible for facilitating the Chevy partnership), graduated from Howard University.

Maybe next time Wendy will think a little harder before she throws her words around.
