Talk show host Wendy Williams is known for speaking her mind, but this time she's come up against a major force to be reckoned with: Ariana Grande's fans. Williams commented during her show on Thursday, saying that she doesn't "think of Grande as a woman" (what?) and that the singer will "forever look 12."
"And I don't mean that in a good way. It's nice to look younger than you are, but when you look too young and then you're short...she's only like 4'11." I don't look at her as, like, a woman," Williams said, according to The Daily Mail.

Grande's fans, who call themselves Arianators, took to Twitter and started the hashtag #CancelWendyWilliams, with some calling her comments body-shaming. Unfortunately the Ariana support took a negative turn when fans started calling Williams names based on her looks, thus committing the kind of body-policing that they accuse Williams of committing.
Ariana has not yet publicly responded.
Jealous or something? You wish that you're 12 years old and looks like her ? so please shut up #CancelWendyWilliams pic.twitter.com/qVp9nBfimP
