The postponement of The Wendy Williams Show was blamed on the star contracting COVID-19.
However, a new report has claimed another reason for the delay. And it’s allegedly serious.
Full story below…
According to TMZ, Williams has been experiencing “mental health issues for some time” and was voluntarily admitted to the hospital on Tuesday (September 14) for a “psychological evaluation.”
Interestingly, citing a source close to the matter, the report adds that Williams did indeed test positive for COVID. However, she’s asymptomatic – thus isn’t experiencing symptoms.
The 57-year-old is said to still be in hospital, with both her mental and physical health improving daily.
Initially set to premiere on September 20, season 13 of The Wendy Williams Show is now set for an October 4 return. Although, it’s not yet clear if even that date is realistic in light of recent events.
In any case, we wish Wendy the absolute best and a speedy recovery.

Sounds like the C**** story was a coverup. And Wendy had the nerve to always talk about Britney 🙄 Get well though. Time to close down that show
Of course it was. She’s been unstable for a while. Every show last season was a crapshoot. It’s time to call it quits
Don’t tell me this is Halloween special episode 🤣😂🤣
Is that you, Wendy? With your big ole man feet
We can’t protect you Wendy
She on. Drugs cocaine is her choice just like she said to Whitney..
Karma is a b**** .
This is the karma for her being a grown a$$ Bully for years. She’s always been a horrible person and that negative energy always returns to sender.
