Wendy Williams has stuck her legendary size 11 shoe in her mouth again.<\/p>\n

The self-proclaimed \u201cqueen of media\u201d has Twitter<\/a> in a tizzy over comments she made about TikTok star Matima \u201cSwavy\u201d Miller, who died of a fatal gunshot wound on Monday. <\/p>\n

The controversial talk show host took ample time during her daily Hot Topics segment to point out: \u201cI have no idea who this person is \u2026 neither does one person in this building,\u201d before quibbling that Swavy had more social media followers than she does. <\/p>\n

A clip of the segment, tweeted out Thursday night, has racked up more than 3 million views \u2014\u00a0and hundreds of thousands of angry responses. <\/p>\n

\u201cShe is so hateful. Like, she basically treated the announcement of his death like it was funny gossip,\u201d said<\/a> one outraged fan on one Twitter post with more than 70,000 likes. \u201cWhy disparage him? Why even talk about him at all if you and your audience are that removed from even knowing who he is? \u2026 She really coaxed laughter from the audience before announcing this young man\u2019s murder.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another shocked viewer responded<\/a>, \u201cRight but then you could hear the audience gasp when she said what had happ<\/a>ened to him. He was a very young man, may he Rest In Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know Wendy to be messy and with the s\u2013ts, but this wasn\u2019t cool at all,\u201d another disappointed fan chimed in<\/a> to the tune of 20,000-plus likes. \u201cI don\u2019t know this man, but may he rest in peace. I\u2019m sorry his friends and family had to see this. Wow\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Reps for Williams and her show did not immediately respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment. (They might be busy answering questions about Williams wishing \u201cdeath to\u201d Jamie and Lynne Spears<\/a>, or her hope that Cynthia Bailey gets canned from \u201cReal Housewives of Atlanta.\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n
