"I feel as though I'm nice and that I'm down to earth, and - people like me get taken advantage of. So by being tall and outgoing, people mistake that for being overpowering, overbearing, loud, and being a bully. No, no I'm a flower."
~ Wendy Williams
American television host and media personality, Wendy Williams is perhaps best known for hosting the popular nationally syndicated television talk show The Wendy Williams Show.
Wendy Williams gives the impression of size. She used to make all the other women on her show look small -- even the audience.
Wendy Williams once mentioned that the doctor measured her height at 5-feet-10 inches -- and Wendy looked like it throughout her career.
Though now closer to her sixties, Wendy could be expected and forgiven to lose some height with age. Not everyone loses height in their fifties but taller people, especially females seem more prone to it.
The height of Wendy Williams in her prime was
5'10 or 178 cm
Present height is 5'9"
