    Wendy Williams Slams Beyonce: "She Sounds Like She Has a Fifth Grade Education"

    If this is how she talks about people she admires, we'd hate to get on Wendy Williams' bad side.

    The outspoken talk show host had some harsh words for Beyonce while discussing the newly released trailer for the pop icon's new documentary during her show Thursday, Dec. 6.

    "I am a Beyonce fan. I'm gonna watch her upcoming documentary, because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning, so I'll be able to understand what she says," Williams said. "You know Beyonce can't talk. She sounds like she has a fifth grade education."

    Not surprisingly, the audience in her studio didn't take too kindly to Williams' surprise -- not to mention, totally unwarranted -- attack on the Grammy winner, 31.

    "Excuse me, I just said I was a fan," the host said in reply to a chorus of boos. "But we have to call a spade a spade."
