Wendy Williamsis keeping people who mock the Kardashians in check.

Williams defendedKim Kardashian WestandKendall Jennerafter the two sistersdrew laughter from the crowdwhile presenting at the 2019 Emmy Awards on Sunday.

“I think the people laughing at them are jealous,” she said on Monday’s episode ofTheWendy WilliamsShow. “You take your big education, going to drama school and all that other kind of — these girls make more money than the whole building.”

Pointing to the Kardashian’s meteoric rise to fame, Williams suggested that anyone who laughed at them is simply envious of their success.

“People are upset cause you study drama, you want to be an actor and actress, you want to make money, you want to be famous, you want to honor your craft. And all of a sudden this family comes along called the Kardashians, years ago, and they stole everything in terms of fame,” she said. “I don’t mean steal, like bad. In a good way. I think that people are just jealous. You’re jealous. So they laughed at them.”

“Look Kim, Kendall, Kris, and all you all — don’t be mad at them for laughing,” she continued. “People are still trying to kick y’alls back in for doing such big things in such a short period of time with the only thing you have, which is love for one another and the ability to make people follow you on Instagram. That’s it. That’s it.”

“Our family knows first hand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves, telling their stories, unfiltered and unscripted,” Kardashian West said on stage, causing laughter to break out among the famous audience.
