Wendy Williams' Strangest Moments

Publish date: 2024-05-03

One of the strangest recurring bits on The Wendy Williams Show is the host's insistence, when overcome with emotion, of wiping away tears with Q-Tips. One enterprising fan, in fact, even put together a YouTube compilation of the various times that Williams has dabbed at her eyes with tiny cotton swabs.

During one of these episodes, Williams explained the rationale behind going with Q-Tips instead of the more commonly used tissue. "Like I tell you, if you cry you let the tears fall on your face," she told her audience, adding, "Don't rub them, because rubbing causes wrinkles. And all salt is not bad salt. The salt that comes from your tears is from your natural body. So what you're doing is you're infusing your natural body chemicals back into your skin. That's why I use the cotton swabs. You don't see me touch my tears. Oh no, no, no!"

However, she had a completely different explanation in another episode. "Q-Tips are better than tissues because tissues mess up all the makeup," she declared, adding, "A Q-Tip just catches it in the corner before it falls down."
