Although she was eliminated from "Dancing With the Stars" on Tuesday, Wendy Williams went on her talk show and revealed her May 2011 cover of Essence. She said she was proud of the cover, article, and pictures that were part of the "Girlfriends" issue.
She also talked about being eliminated from the show and that she was grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it. I liked when she said that not many people get to dance in front of millions of people on one of the most popular TV shows and she bowed out gracefully during her speech on the show.
I love her attitude and that she used DWTS as a platform to share her story to a bigger audience. I thought that she was brave to go on the show in the first place, seeing as though she has NO dance training whatsoever and do it with a smile on her face the entire time. She even tweeted her swollen feet (which was brave in itself).
Of course, she didn't make it as far as some of the previous black women who have been on the show, like Brandy, Mya, Mel B and Laila Ali, she still falls into the category of sisters who were prematurely or wrongly voted off. I don't know if it was because her fans didn't vote (I know I DID; ALL 10 of my online votes on Monday went to Wendy) or because her scores were so low but I actually didn't think she did THAT bad. It wasn't the worst that I have seen on the show but I guess that people didn't want to see her dance anymore. I still commend Wendy for going on the show and she should be an inspiration of lots of people, including ME.
