How you doin', Wendy Williams?

During the Monday, Jan. 20, episode of The Wendy Williams Show, the 49-year-old talk show host unexpectedly burst into tears while discussing Madonna's recent N-word scandal involving her son, Rocco. "First of all, I want you to know, Rocco is 13 years old and Rocco is a real fan of his mother. What I discovered this weekend is that my son doesn't like me anymore," Williams said of Kevin Jr., 13.

Reaching for a tissue, the TV personality continued, "You know how it is. I don't have my period!"

"I discovered this a while ago, but the ball just got smacked home this weekend," Williams shared. "He's all into his father—you know how 13-year-olds are. I was the same way when I was 13, but it is breaking my heart. He says things to me like, 'Why are you so pissed?' but he'll say, 'WHY ARE YOU SO PISSED?!' Like I'm pissed all the time. Like I'm the one with the problem."

Williams is envious of the relationship Madonna has with her son. "He's the one that's 13, and I get it, and I know that this phase only lasts four years or something like that, but it is breaking my heart. He he doesn't care about Wendy on TV—he doesn't care about any of that. She's lucky that he likes her."

Showing compassion, Williams' audience cheered and shouted, "We love you, Wendy!"

The New Yorker then acknowledged how lucky she is to have husband Kevin Hunter involved in their son's life. "I can't understand men who disappear from their kids' lives. Thank God he has his buddy and father, you know? He's a father, he's a buddy, they talk sneakers, they go for haircuts, they speed off in the cars, and I'm just left there feeling like, 'Why are you so pissed?' I'm not pissed! I'm a mom!"
