    Aretha Franklin’s family fires back after Wendy Williams throws shade at upcoming movie

    Aretha Franklin’s estate is blasting Wendy Williams for “irresponsible” and “mocking” remarks after the talk-show host attacked the late singer’s upcoming, long-delayed gospel film.

    In a lengthy fact-checking statement Sunday, the Queen of Soul’s family said Williams made “inaccurate and disparaging statements” during a Friday segment about “Amazing Grace.” Shot in 1972, the church performance is set to hit screens nationwide in April.

    Departing from widespread critical acclaim for the film, Williams questioned its visual quality, Franklin’s natural look and the motivations behind the movie’s release.

    Franklin’s estate said Williams’ commentary “indicates that she has neither seen the documentary nor understands its import or intent.”

    Williams also seemed to accuse Franklin’s family of mismanaging the singer's affairs through the years: “When you don’t have real professional people doing real professional things for you, sometimes you lose out.”
