An executive with The Wendy Williams Show has issued a formal apology to drag queen  and performance artist Erickatoure Aviance, who was told at a taping of the show that she would be removed from the audience if she tried to appear on camera.

The executive told Aviance the show had a strict "no costumes" policy but allowed her to attend the taping if she agreed to not appear on camera or draw attention to herself.

If Aviance is wearing a costume, it's a pretty good one  :laugh: Maybe Wendy was a bit jealous of someone prettier than her  :P

Who is it in the picture Wendy or Aviance?
If Aviance I think the term drag queen is incorrect.
