R&B legend Dionne Warwick dug her well-manicured nails into the scalp of serial filth peddler Wendy Williams after the talk show maven spoke negatively of the “That’s What Friends are For” singer.
Warwick, 79, took to Twitter to forcefully, yet classically admonish Williams, 54, for not putting respect on her name during a segment of her daytime gabfest.
Williams broached Warwick’s past indiscretions, including marijuana usage. Warwick provided the following maternalistic lecture to Williams:
My hope is my name will refrain from being spoken or thought of by her as this conversation was held a few years ago letting her know there was nor would be any need for her to say the name Dionne Warwick for any reason. I don’t believe one has to be mean to get noticed. (2/2)

…There’s an old saying you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar! Try it Wendy you might like it. 🤡🙂

Twitter users quickly swarmed on the posts to join the chorus of Williams bashing:
There's a popular saying here on Titter: "Don't feed the trolls." It means best just to ignore the ignorant haters and don't give them any oxygen by responding to them.
Good luck!

I love how classy you handled this because my spirit initially wanted your tweet to read…..there’s an old saying “you can catch these hands” if you keep speaking on me.

Nobody saw it coming, but apparently Dionne Warwick is the tweeter we all needed this year

Clifton, thx for retweeting Dionne. I didn't know she was "here" on twitter. After reading her tweets, I can only say, "Please, Lord, if I'm blessed to be 80 someday, let me be half as gracious, witty, and excited by new adventures as Dionne Warwick is now".

I'm very happy that you put her on check she just wants attention and she does it the mean way, I'm a fan of yours love your songs, and hate when people don't have nothing nice to say and the only way they think that they are something is by talking about others.

Another person on Instagram added: “Auntie (Dionne Warwick) It’s hard to stop saying the name of legends when you desire so much to be one. She has to use you to try to become who she wants to be. Let’s just hope she can call on the name of Jesus to assist her with the demons she deals with.”
And someone even excavated this Williams old interview of the late icon Whitney Houston that was archived in annals of all-time clapbacks:
Wendy is actually on her best behavior. Did everyone forget this iconic interview with Whitney Houston? Whitney was cursing at her and everything 🧐😂 https://t.co/2i3clwi4wt
