The queen of gossip found herself on the wrong side of the headlines on Saturday.
Wendy Williams was in Houston, Texas, with her national “Sit Down Tour … Too Real for Stand Up” show, when she miscalculated her steps and fell off the stage.
After someone rushed to aid the 5-foot-11 talk show host, Williams jokingly grabbed the microphone and told the audience, “Shut the f--k up! Shut the f--k up, OK!? There’s the fall that never happened. So, put that on YouTube.”

Highlighting her statuesque frame, Williams dished, “I am 12 feet tall. But you caught it, right? Did you catch my 51-year-old recovery?”
Williams also took to Twitter to poke fun at herself. “Forget it’s the ‘Sit Down Tour’ not the fall down tour,” she joked.
