Roommates, grab the tissues because this one's hitting hard. Wendy Williams' family just shared the devastating news that her dad, Thomas Williams Sr., has passed after 94 incredible years. It was Wendy's niece and goddaughter, Alex Finnie, who broke the news on Instagram with a montage of photos and videos that had everyone in their feels.
In her post, Alex wrote, “It is with an extremely heavy heart that I share — after 94 years of extraordinary love, strength, brilliance, and wisdom, my grandfather Thomas D. Williams has passed.” She highlighted how Thomas poured his heart into his family and community as an author and educator. The tribute ended on a tender note: “I miss him tremendously. I’m a little lost for words right now, but I love you endlessly Papa. Give Nana a kiss for me.” 😢
The outpouring of love has been nonstop. Fans hit up The Shade Room's comments section with prayers, remembering how tough it was for Wendy when her mom passed. One user, @chantestory, said, “94 is a long life I can only wish 🥹🙏🏽 prayers to the family.” @mstriniqueen2000 added, “Awwww. Wendy LOVESSSSS her daddy so much…R.I.P 😢.” And @mrslove305 noted, “My condolences. Wendy went off the deep end when her Mom passed. I hope that she is surrounded by love during this difficult time.” Others pointed out the striking resemblance—@allie.cherie simply gasped, “her twin omg.”
Amid the grief, family bonds are shining through. Wendy's brother Thomas Williams (aka Tommy) recently posted a sweet pic of the siblings embracing, captioned simply 'FAMILY' with a red heart. Wendy flashed her signature smile, rocking blonde hair, red lipstick, a black leather jacket over a blue-and-white flannel, and a black handbag. Proof that even in tough times, the Williams crew sticks together. 💔 So, how's Wendy holding up through this? We're all sending vibes her way.
