Did she who denied it supply it?
That’s the question many are asking after Wendy Williams went on air Thursday morning to deny that she farted during an episode last week.

In the video, which quickly went viral on social media, Williams discusses a controversy surrounding NFL player Odell Beckham Jr. when what sounds like gas being passed is heard.
But on her latest episode, Williams addressed the scandal, firmly shutting down the speculation.
“Let me tell you something right now, okay?” she said, according to toofab. “I don’t lean over like this to release a fart, I lean over like this because it’s comfortable. If I sit [straight up] all the time, it’s heavy on my spine. I like to release my hips and lean. I’ve been doing this for 11 years on this show.”
With the word “Fartgate” appearing on the screen behind her, Williams continued, “I have never farted once on this show. As a matter of fact, I barely fart, you know why? Gas gets released several different ways and mine is belching because all I do is talk.”
The host also claimed that, had she in fact farted, she would have happily taken credit, because “farts are always funny.”

Williams added, “By the sound of that fart, I would have had to go change my costume, I would have left a mark in the seat. I wouldn’t even save the costume, I’d throw it away. It’d be soiled beyond soiled-tivity.”
A gaffer on the show then explained that the farting sound was actually a result of some setup happening backstage.
“We were filling up a fish tank backstage and we didn’t have the proper hose,” he said. “It was sputtering like someone was farting. It wasn’t Wendy!”
