An anti-censorship champion, weightlifting enthusiast and staunch vegetarian who didn’t drink or take drugs, for #WendyOWilliams sexuality was another weapon in her loaded arsenal.
Remembering #WendyOWilliams
“For me much of the world makes no sense, but my feelings about what I am doing ring loud and clear to an inner ear and a place where there is no self, only calm.
Love always, Wendy.”
The world is a smaller place without her.

There was nothing tame about #WendyOWilliams. She turned volume, shock, and spectacle into a brutal, unapologetic vision of punk rebellion.

They introduced the mohawk to mass American culture, fused punk & metal when these groups despised each other & produced stage shows which included the chainsawing of guitars and the blowing up of full size cars & have yet to be equalled today.
Way more than a rock band.
