Wendy Williams is facing backlash after cruelly announcing the death of TikTok star Swavy during her show on Wednesday.

The talk show host started the segment by asking the audience to clap if they recognize the 19-year-old who she had pictured on the screen. BBC reports Swavy was killed in a Delaware shooting on Monday. 

“I have no idea who this is. Neither does Norman. Neither does one person in this building,” she said before commanding the viewers to respond with a clap. 

Williams then proceeded to explain that Swavy is somebody who has more TikTok followers than herself. The audience, still clueless about where the segment was heading at the point, continued to laugh with the TV star as she joked about the popularity of Swavy. But the atmosphere in the room completely flipped when Williams suddenly announced the tragic news.

"He’s 19 and he was murdered Monday morning,” the TV star said casually, yielding several gasps from the audience. 

Social media users responded with outrage soon after the clip became available online. 

Many people said they had no idea where the segment was heading.

Some said Williams has a history of making bad decisions, but the latest gaffe was especially disturbing.

In the same episode, Williams ranted about how much she hates tattoos. 

"You don't understand how much men love a clean body," the host said while urging the women in the crowd to avoid tattoos in order to be attractive.

Williams' longtime viewers weren't surprised to see the latest episode.

According to The Wrap, The Wendy Williams Show is now in its 13th season. But people are urging the public to cancel the host and the show. 

The 56-year-old faced more backlash last year when she made light of the death of Amie Harwick, who was once engaged to The Price Is Right host Drew Carey, The Wrap reported. After Harwick fell from a balcony and died, Williams used Carey’s gameshow catchphrase, “Come on down,” during her show and looked to the floor as if watching someone fall.
