My heart goes out to Wendy Williams who has been battling multiple illnesses, not least of which is a terrible substance addiction.
A rep for Wendy said she’s trying to focus on her “over all health”.
“Wendy has entered a wellness facility seeking help to manage her overall health issues. She is taking some time to focus on her health and wellness as she prepares for a major comeback for the next level in her career with The Wendy Experience Podcast,” Williams’s spokesperson shared on Wednesday. “Ms. Williams is being treated by a team of some of the best doctors in the world. We ask for your prayers and well wishes during this time.”
Wendy has always been open about having problems with cocaine in her earlier years while still on the radio, and in 2017 she learned she has Graves disease.
Along with health struggles, Williams dealt with numerous personal issues behind the scenes. In 2019, she filed for divorce as her husband of 22 years, and former executive producer on the Wendy Williams Show, had a child with another woman.
