The queen of "Hot Topics" has broken her silence on Diddy's indictment and arrest.

During an interview with The Daily Mail, Williams spoke out about the music mogul as he faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

“What is really weird is that I have been told by so many people, ‘Wendy, you called it,'” she told the outlet. “Including some people from my family who have said the same.”

The former daytime television host described the footage of Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie being assaulted by the Bad Boys Entertainment CEO as "horrific."

“You know how I feel about that? It is about time. To see this video on TV of [Cassie] getting pummeled… it was just horrific," Williams said.

“But now you have to think, how many more times? How many people? How many more women? It’s just so horrible,” she added.

Williams and Diddy reportedly have a checkered past. Diddy allegedly got the former radio show host fired from her gig at Hot 97, according to comments by Charlamagne Tha God and the artist's former bodyguard.

“Wendy’s whole thing was, Diddy was gay,” Charlamagne said during an appearance on the "Flagrant" podcast. “That’s why Wendy got fired from Hot 97. Wendy got fired from Hot 97 by Diddy ’cause that’s when Bad Boy was smoking hot. She got fired for putting that out there.”

During a 2022 interview with "Art of Dialogue," Gene Deal, Diddy's former bodyguard, also alluded to the firing.

“You started the conversation earlier about what did I mean about the power Puff had. With the radio stations in New York? Mother—-ers didn’t breathe hard if Puff didn’t want them to. … Puff got one of the hottest DJs off of Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down,” Deal said.

“Puff told Hot 97 if they didn’t get rid of her before he got back in New York, that they was not going to get any music from any of his friends, any of the record label executives that was cool with him, everyone was going to boycott their station. We was out in L.A. for about three days; before we landed back in New York, Wendy Williams was in the radio station in Philly. It was over for her. She was fired,” he added.
