“I am a Beyoncé fan,” Williams said. “I’m gonna watch her upcoming documentary because fortunately one of the TVs in our kitchen has closed captioning so I’ll be able to understand what she says. You know Beyoncé can’t talk. She sounds like she has a fifth grade education.”
The audience did not react positively to this remark and began to boo.
“Excuse me, I just said I was a fan,” Williams responded. “But we have to call a spade a spade.”
This is not the first time Beyoncé’s communication skills have been challenged.
