Wendy Williams has checked into a wellness facility, it has been confirmed.

Full story below…

Moments ago, reps for the media maven issued the following statement to THR:

“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. 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.”

Williams’ struggles have been well-documented.

After a lengthy absence from her daytime talk show, the plug was pulled on the long-running series and guest host Sherri Shepherd was tapped to front her own show – with much of the same producing team as Williams joining her. That show, airing in the same slot, kicked off this week.

At the time, a myriad of reasons – both official and speculative – surfaced to explain Williams’ hiatus. These ranged from complications with her Graves disease and lymphedema to COVID to being checked into a facility for “psychological evaluation.” To date, there is no definitive word as to what the issue (or issues) actually are.

Alongside the health woes have been issues around Williams’ access to her vast wealth amid drama with her bank.

As reported, the Queen of Media is plotting the launch of a new podcast, ‘The Wendy Williams Experience.’ 

We wish her full recocvery.
