Wendy Williams is facing a lot of backlash after making a tasteless Price Is Right joke about Drew Carey's ex-fiancée Dr. Amie Harwick, who was killed this past weekend.
TW: this article contains depictions or discussions of domestic violence and may be triggering to some readers.
She was an advocate for survivors of domestic abuse as well as a spokesperson for sex workers.
The pair split after less than a year.
It was reported the 38-year-old died after falling from a balcony after an alleged attack from her ex-boyfriend.
The FBI-LAPD released a statement that said Harwick had recently expressed fear about the former boyfriend and filed a restraining order against him.
However, the restraining order had expired, and the LAPD said she'd seen Pursehouse two weeks before her death.

She explains the story to her audience and clarifies that it wasn't Carey that killed her.
She then titled her head up and down, seemingly referring to Hawick's deadly fall.
"He's been arrested? He's in jail as we speak? Alright. Allegedly," she remarked.
It has understandably struck a nerve with the many people who loved Harwick and her work.
"If this woman is not fired, there is no compassion for women who are abused," wrote one Twitter user.
"I honestly wish I NEVER saw this. I can’t stop crying."
They have been plentiful, to say the least.
"We love you Wendy, but we will be taking a break from this page," they wrote to their 30k followers.
Our thoughts are with Amie Harwick's friends and family during this time.
