Wendy Williams wished death on Britney Spears parents Jamie and Lynn after the singer's dramatic testimony yesterday.
The 56-year-old US talk show host was responding to the shocking testimony that Britney Spears delivered during her conservatorship hearing in which she finally shed light on the her experience over the last 13 years.
The 23-minute long statement has sparked an outcry among the singer's fans, and clearly also triggered Wendy to furiously slam Britney's parents for their role.
Speaking on her talk show, Wendy admitted that Jamie Spears had certainly 'fooled' her throughout the years and she was furious.
"How dare you Mr. Spears. You had me fooled. And you too, Mrs. Spears. Death to all of them," she explained.
The dramatic statement was met with gasps from the audience as they reacted to the scope of her remarks.
Wendy's statement was naturally met with quite the reaction, and some fans suggested that she had taken her fury too far while others supported her stance.
"Not Wendy Williams wishing death to Britney's father LMAOOOOO #FreeBritney" penned one viewer.
Another added: "You went too far, @WendyWilliams. Support #FreeBritney, but you cannot wish death to anyone. Not cool and not ground anyone has the right to stand on."
However, others defended the talk show star, adding: "She dont mean it literally."
Wendy's latest remarks have struck a completely different tone to the stance that she had taken earlier this year on the hot topic of Britney and her conservatorship.
In February, Wendy actually defended Jamie as a 'good man' and suggested that the Toxic singer needed to 'be controlled'.
“I think that her father is a good man,” she said on Hot Topics. “I’ve heard that she still needs to be controlled, and she needs to have someone that’s controlling her finances, and controlling who she is friends with and where she goes and what time she’s coming in …”
The television star's surprising recent remarks come amid mounting support for Britney to have the conservatorship removed after 13-years.
It follows a lengthy statement in which Britney spoke publicly for the first time about her harrowing ordeal - which included being put on lithium medication that made her feel drunk as well as being banned from getting married and having more children.
Britney also claimed in her testimony that 'her team' has prohibited her from ending contraception, despite saying that she would like to have the opportunity to have a baby.
Before any decisions are made about her conservatorship, it is understood that Britney will have to file a formal petition which is yet to be submitted.
