It’s no joke that social media is PO'ed with Wendy Williams for mocking the cleft lip of Joker star Joaquin Phoenix.
During her January 7 show, the talk show host said, When he shaves off his mustache he’s got a hairline fracture. He’s got one of those — what do you call it? Cleft lip, cleft palate.
Backlash came from many, including Carol Vorderman, the ambassador for the Cleft Lip and Palate Association. Vorderman tweeted, Mimicing [sic] a cleft lip, and making a joke about it, is disgraceful. Have you any idea the pain and operations a child with cleft must go through as they grow?
Wendy has yet to respond to the criticism.
Do you or somebody you know someone have a cleft lip? If so, what would you like to say to Wendy Williams?
