Wendy Williams slams Minaj for mocking mentally ill woman

Los Angeles, Dec 8 (PTI) TV personality Wendy Williams has lashed out at rapper Nicki Minaj for making fun of a mentally ill woman.

During an episode of her show called "The Wendy Williams Show," she blasted Minaj, saying "it was so insensitive of her," reported AceShowbiz.

Minaj posted a video in which she appeared to make fun of a metally unstable lady on the streets of Miami.

To which the host said, "I don't know if Nicki was on wine or what at the time, but you need to be more sensitive to mental illness. We all have our ways where we forget about being sensitive but that was direct."

The 33-year-old "Anaconda" hitmaker has also received criticism from thousands of her Instagram followers as well as from National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI-Miami), which accused her of invading the mentally ill woman's privacy and dehumanising her.

"Nobody would make fun of a cancer patient, and mental illness is an illness like any other," a spokesperson for the organisation said.
