Talk show host, Wendy Williams,
is claiming she was racially profiled.
We were followed.
She says it happened while shopping with two stars
from the the Real Housewives of Atlanta TV show,
Nene Leakes and Marlo Hampton.
Can I tell you something about security?
They treated us like the hood that they treat us.
Nene Leakes posted this video of she and Wendy
in a car on route to the store.
I'm going to Bergdorf.
Wendy Williams says the racial profiling took place
here at Bergdorf Goodman, the famous luxury department store
on Manhattan's 5th Avenue.
The talk show host said she and her girlfriends
were on a shopping spree, buying lingerie, evening gowns,
and other expensive items.
They even had lunch in the store's restaurant,
but they say their happy day was marred
when security guards began following their every move.
Wendy!
Williams says the incident happened
despite her fame.
You can earn what you want,
you can do what you want,
but when you are what you are,
you better not be surprised at how people treat you.
I spoke to Marlo Hampton today.
When did you first noticed that you're being followed?
You know, Wendy brought it to our attention.
She was like, "Hey, you guys, see the guy?
"He's followed us from here."
I'm like, "I did notice him back there.
"Now he's here with us."
So it was a little uncomfortable then.
It was like, wow, are you really following us?
I asked her if she thought it was racial profiling.
That's the first thing you're gonna come up with.
We reached out to Bergdorf Goodman,
but did not hear back.
We were followed.
