Wendy Williams Fires Zayn Malik from Simon Cowell’s 1D and Slams ABC’s New ‘Bachelorette’ Cast? [GOSSIP NEWS]

Wendy Williams thinks it is totally understandable that 22-year-old Zayn Malik wants some time off from One Direction, but still thinks Simon Cowell should still just fire him anyways. According to the latest gossip news updates, the wig wearing BET late night TV talk show host gets that Malik just isn't cut from the same cloth as Harry Styles and suggests that the simple solution is just to let him go while evenly dividing up his former share of the profits. The former Radio DJ doesn't understand at all, however, ABC's recent decision to have two leads compete against each other in the latest season of the hit TV show, The Bachelorette. The "How You Doing" host insists that forcing the woman into a rivalry is wrong on a lot of levels.

If Zayn Malik's One Direction bandmates are at all familiar with American talk show host Wendy Williams, than he might want to shake off his existential crisis and get back to work.

Williams suggest that if the boys are going to be forced to tour on without their beleaguered business partner than perhaps it's time to draw up some contracts that that cut him out of the arrangement.

According to Wendy, all One Direction has to do if fire Malik and everyone will get what they want -- just more of it (via Billboard):

"I'm not mad at this guy -- I admire him.

"All he wants to do is go back and live a normal life...Well then let him go.

"If you can do five-part harmony, it's just as easy to do four-part harmony.

"I say kick this guy out of the group because now that is more money for the rest of us, we don't have you split money five ways."

Wendy finds ABC's decision to pit that Bachelorette leads against each other as the novel Season 11 plot twist quite a bit less admirable, however.

In her March 30, contribution to Life & Style Magazine, Williams took the producers to task for trying to drum up ratings for the franchise with such daft drama:

"I can't believe that there are two Bachelorette (Kaitlyn Bristown and Brit Nilsson) competing against each other next season.

"I think it's a shame that TV's execs are purposefully pitting women against each other.

"It's not fair, and it won't end pretty.

"If I were a producer I would have stuck to letting one girl shine!"

Apparently, Wendy isn't a big proponent of the old adage: The more the merrier.
