- 4 years ago
Wendy Williams is getting slammed by fans for making a crude joke about the murder of Drew Carey’s ex-fiancée Dr. Amie Harwick.
On her Monday, February 17 show, the host, 55, gave her audience the horrific details of the crime that took place on Saturday, February 15, and then stunned them by trying to make them laugh about the homicide.
“She was killed not by Drew, but by the ex,” she said, referring to his ex-girlfriend’s death. “Amie and I had a love that people are lucky to have once in a lifetime. She was a positive force in the world, a tireless and unapologetic champion for women, and passionate about her work as a therapist,” he said. “I am overcome with grief. I would like to thank you in advance for giving myself and everyone who loved Amie privacy while we try to work through this tragic situation.”
Radar also spoke to Pursehouse’s mother, Barbara, who seemed stunned by the horrifying incident. In an exclusive interview, she said that Harwick, 38, a former Playboy model-turned-Hollywood sex therapist, left her son and “broke his heart” nearly six years ago.
When told the news that her son was being treated as a suspect in the murder, Barbara said, “Gareth could never do that. Gareth could never do that,” before adding that Pursehouse cut off communication with her and other loved ones after his split from Harwick.
“I don’t know it’s been so long. Amy broke his heart and he just stopped talking to the family,” Barbara added.
