Wendy Williams is a transsexual pornographic actress and model from the United States.

She grew up in Pikeville, Kentucky and in her own words "grew up on food stamps and charity". Her family worked in the local coal mines. Her great-grandmother took her when Williams was in the sixth grade due to her father's alcoholism. Williams graduated from Eastern Kentucky University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication.[1][2]

In 2000 she was working in gay clubs doing drag shows when a friend showed her some of the websites of solo transsexuals such as Meghan Chavalier. That prompted her to set up her own website which did not have any nudity initially. Williams did not shoot her first nude photo shoot until 2002. In 2003 Williams met up with Joanna Jet while shooting a scene for her Jet Set series of DVDs. Jet began mentoring Williams by showing her the steps needed to produce a DVD for distribution. Williams began shooting her own series of videos for Jet's company called Wendy's Wild Shemales. Williams formed her own production company in 2005.[1][2][3]

Since forming the company she moved back to Kentucky and continued to produce and direct for Hot Wendy Productions. In 2010 she was the second only Transsexual (first being Joanna Jet) to present an award on stage at the AVN Awards that aired on ShowTime. She co-presented with comedian Margaret Cho. In 2011 she went on to open HotWendyPR using her marketing tips and connections to help other TS Stars like Amy Daly, Jonelle Brooks, Tiffany Starr, and Wendy Summers with their PR. Wendy Williams became the first transsexual to sign with leading Novelty Company, Doc Johnson to release her signature toys. Thus far in her toy line she has lickable body sprays called "Wendy Williams Salad Tossing Sprays", the Wendy Williams Anal Training Kits in black, purple and pink, the first ever life size transsexual ass mould (Wendy Williams Doggie Style Ass/Balls) and the realistic Wendy Williams Dong. Currently she is the most awarded transsexual star winning awards in all major award ceremonies including Tranny Awards, Urban X, AVN, and Xbiz. Currently, she is also fighting with the IRS and the Kentucky Revenue Cabinet, over allegations of tax evasion.

Williams has a line of signature toys which includes a cyberskin mould of her buttocks.[4]
