Television talk show queen Wendy Williams is the latest celebrity to strip down for a PETA billboard.
The 48-year-old self-styled “Queen of all Media” unveiled her advertisement in New York’s Times Square on Wednesday, joining a growing list of stars—including Eva Mendes, Khloe Kardashian, Taraji P. Henson, and Joanna Krupa who have renounced fur and volunteered to appear in PETA’s iconic naked campaign.
“We should all try to be comfortable in our own skin and let the animals keep theirs,” said Williams, who once wore real mink and fox but said she had a change of heart after learning how animals are electrocuted, beaten — and even skinned alive for their fur.
In addition to her advertisement, Williams will encourage her viewers to donate their fur coats to PETA so that they can be given to the homeless.
PETA is working with shelters in Williams’ home state of New Jersey on their coat drives this winter, which have seen greater demand as the numbers of the needy and displaced have increased after Hurricane Sandy.
