Wendy Williams’ Producers Fight Man Suing Talk Show Host For Allegedly Making Him Look Like A ‘Predator’

He says Duff engaged in “reprehensible and despicable conduct including by innuendo that he was a child predator.”

“The words uttered were false statements because [Wilkins] is not a pedophile or child predator and was attempting to take photos as a photographer and not as a Paparazzi or stalker or with malice, intent or evil wrongdoing,” his suit read.

A couple of months later, Williams talked about the incident during her Hot Topics segment.

Wilkins says Williams trashed him during the chat.

Wilkins said the segment made him look like a sexual deviant, predator, and pedophile — all which hurt his reputation. He is seeking unspecified damages.

Williams — who has been MIA from her talk show for months — has yet to respond to the suit. She has been unable to host due to medical issues. Late last year, she voluntarily checked herself into the hospital for a psychological evaluation.

She was last seen leaving a Miami wellness center where she is reportedly being treated.

In her place, Talk WW is responding to the suit and arguing Williams should be dismissed.

As part of their motion, the producers note that Williams made the comments she was acting in her capacity as an employee of the company Talk WW Production, Inc.

Further, they argue that the comments Williams made were not defamatory. They claim she simply talked about Duff’s video and offered an opinion on whether the actress could have handled the encounter differently.

“The statements in the Wendy segment were protected by the First Amendment and cannot be the basis of slander or libel claims,” they argue.

The judge has yet to rule.
