The 52-year-old mocked the reality star as "soulless" just hours after the shocking news emerged about the heist in the French capital on Monday.
Discussing the ordeal, which is said to have left the 35-year-old "badly shaken", Wendy laughed as she discussed what happened with the shocked audience.
The author said: "I'm not laughing at her being robbed, you know what I'm laughing at? There are certain stories that don't matter to the rest of the world but they matter to us."
Wendy, whose topical programme regularly attracts an audience of more than two million, continued: "Kim, you can't have it both ways. You've turned your life over to an international audience.

"Now, you always have to have people around. So, you're stuck having somebody around all the time because you're such an easy target."
Wendy went on to add: "I would hope she's not making any part of this story up just for dramatic effect. But, because of this family, they're kind of soulless you know? You can't believe everything you hear."
Many of those at home took to Twitter to condemn her remarks, with one person stating: "Wendy Williams turning Kim Kardashian's ordeal into some type of joke. She's mad disgusting."

Another two users agreed: "Not a Kim Kardashian fan yet Wendy Williams mocking her violent robbery and saying stealing her phone ok is disgusting," and: "No matter how famous, no one deserves this kind of abuse!"
It comes after friends of Kim claimed that she does not want to be alone as she continues to replay the terrifying event.
An unnamed source told TMZ: "She is bursting into tears every few minutes. She needs to be with someone all the time – she doesn't want to be alone."
