I have been backchatting with a few people about Wendy Williams lately. She has seemed a bit spacey lately. Wendy Williams seems to have problems standing in the audience without a lectern to lean on or a chair to sit in. She loses her train of thought a lot. Wendy doesn’t look “right.” That was all before her most recent injury.
Recently, she fractured her upper arm and has been wearing a sling under her clothes. She seemed a bit more spacey than usual since that happened. Wendy Williams hasn’t said how she got the hairline fracture, but I presume she fell. She seems to have a lot of problems with balance. Especially since Halloween 2017 when she had some sort of weird seizure on live TV. Since then she only wears flat shoes. She also took a lot of time off in February and Jerry O’Connell stood in for her. Then there was the day she just didn’t make it to work.
Wendy’s Letter of Apology
The Thursday and Friday shows were filmed yesterday and parts of the show were incoherent. Today she posted the following to Instagram:
I sincerely apologize if you feel that today’s show was less than stellar. I’m on your TV screens every day wanting to spread laughter, entertainment and cheer. As I reported earlier in the week, I have a hairline fracture on my upper arm, which hurts like hell. I’ve never broken a bone or experienced a fracture in my life. In the key place where the fracture is, and trying to scurry around and do too much, I am now paying the price. I’ve never taken a pain medication in my life (except when I got snatched over 20 years ago) until this week.
I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgement of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being. I really do ride or die for my craft and give 200%. Not to mention everyone is aware at this point about my thyroid condition (don’t cry for me Argentina). For all my fellow thyroid sufferers, you know what the deal is. And for those that don’t: I encourage you to please read up.
Whatever today’s performance was?
Needless to say, whatever today’s performance was with the legendary The Lox, who said such nice things, I have no regrets and I appreciate everyone’s genuine concern for my wellness and care.
I promise you a better Wendy in 2019. I will get some much needed rest and healing over these next couple of weeks. (Yes I am definitely juicing over the next couple of weeks). Sorry again. I love you all. Happy Holidays!
So she is apologizing and has no regrets? It was the painkillers and her thyroid? And why is she juicing with an injury? She has lost a ton of weight lately. She went vegan for quite a while and it didn’t seem to be her idea.
Also, her husband Kevin allegedly has a house with another woman. And her son Kevin is off to college. Things have been falling apart for Wendy over the past couple of years. It looks to me like she needs some help.
I know Whitney Houston is looking down on Wendy William’s today with an uproarious smile upon her face. If it looks like a duck if it quacks like a duck it is a duck. Alledgedly.
I am sorry, but I doubt that. People in heaven (since you indicated “looking down”) do not typically judge others. Taking pain medication for an injury is quite different from snorting cocaine around the clock.
Why do I see a statement coming soon that Wendy has entered Rehab???
If she has Graves’ disease that explains weight loss I also have it. I never realized how much thyroid controls Before they figured out what was wrong I couldn’t make eye contact with people I couldn’t firm sentences it’s crazy. Tremors all kinds of things. Double vision. Balance is off vision totally screwed still. It’s controllable with balanced meds. I got lucky first dosage amount works for me. I had thyroid removed and now one pill a day. Everything doesn’t equal drug abuse.
I’m glad you were lucky and the first dose worked out. It’s a long run for some people and in addition, they are sensitive to additives in the meds. I’ve seen Graves Disease get dismissed as less debilitating than it is. As you note, the thyroid has a lot of power in the body’s operations. The thyroid storms that can result from treatment can be life threatening. My youngest experienced all of this and it was really tough going.
I hate when people call it their “craft”.
Please stop, it’s so pretentious.
Get well soon Wendy, I love your show. You are one of few people on television that consistently show common sense.
Sometimes…. remember that time she was basically kissing R Kelly’s ass. Not a good look.
I record Wendy every day, and the last year has had some really rough moments to watch. Sometimes during Hot Topics she cant keep the names straight and she seems to lose her train of thought. And she’s constantly clearing her throat and belching. I hope whatever is going on gets fixed soon.
I live in NJ and Friday’s show was a repeat of the first show this season.
I hope she gets it together. I grew up listening to her radio shows after school every day! She’s so successful, and I would hate to see her spiral. It seems like she hasn’t been having trouble the last few years…
I watch wendy here and there. I remember watching the episode live when she fainted on Halloween. I thought it was a joke at first. Shes back on some sort of drugs and not eating due to the stress of her husband basically having a double life. She has so much to say about everyone and everything yet she lies and doesnt say a damn thing about her life. I get it that it’s your job to gossip but sometimes she just plain nasty. I’ll never forget when Roseanne went on her show and basically said hows your husband doing wendy. She looked like she was gonna die. Lol regardless I dont wish bad on anyone. ( unless they really deserve it) get help wendy it’s very obvious u need it
Also HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone!!!! Love this website!!!
I thought on Wendys show yesterday she sounded like she was speaking with a numb mouth. I hope she is okay.
What does she mean when she says the only other time she was on pain killers was when she got snatched over 20 years ago? I don’t know much about her and I don’t watch the show, but I hope she’ll be OK.
She had lots of lipo, probably around the same time she got ginormous boobs. So she was snatched. It is slang for having a great body, or even outfit. “She was snatched” is a compliment on their looks.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I kept wondering if she’d been kidnapped and why that would lead to her being on pain killers, lol.
Terri- I thought the same thing about snatched meaning kidnapped. LOL
Good to know I wasn’t the only one, lol.
Yes, thanks for clearing that up. My imagination was running wild, from kidnapping all the way to an extreme waxing. If the latter, she deserved painkillers!
Extreme waxing, that is hilarious.
I never cared for Wendy but I wish her well
Thanks, TT I hadn’t heard about this
I watched yesterday’s show and wondered why she was talking so…weird…during Hot Topics. Since it was the first time all week I had a chance to watch, I had no idea about her fracture.
When the lox was on… she couldn’t even speak through the intro. I almost think that shes lying about her arm being fractured. People wear slings outside of there clothes. Shes struggling regardless. She needs to lose her man/manager. She talks like shes a strong woman. Meanwhile back at the ranch shes not.
This raises the question of pain when it’s a curative injury. Not that I wish for anyone to suffer, pain killers have caused far more suffering by their casualties as opposed to the pain they relieved.
I am sorry, but I doubt that. People in heaven (since you indicated “looking down”) do not typically judge others. Taking pain medication for an injury is quite different from snorting cocaine around the clock.
For some reason this posted here rather than above.
love Wendy. I watch everyday and saw a repeat was one, I thought maybe she went on early holidays but then the next day she was back explaining her injury. Yes, she never explained how she injured herself. Inquiring minds would like to know! I haven’t caught up on the episodes since that one, I will now! She is a workaholic though, I can admire that.
Walk it off right. Puleeze. And yes, sarcasm.
Something is definitely up! Who wears a sling UNDER clothes? She has a great glam squad and would normally come out with a glitter sling! First the flats, then the chairs! She claims that Dr. Oz and all of her other doctors have saved save her since the Grave’s disease.
I used to wait eagerly and shush my house for WW at 10 am fla time. I just adored her give no shits attitude. I was there for the preshow week and stayed for a few years. Either I aged out or something went wrong. This was an educated woman who all off a sudden started to pop her mouth and roll her neck. I loved her when she came in to tv talk world.
She soured to many ppl and her show went from hot topic juicy juice to basically liwvrent mag panels. Very very little true Alist will be caught there now. She gets lots of reality tv shitheads and lots of failed lawyers😩
I’m sorry she’s not doing well because I used to scream to convince my family watch WW. I recorded and watched them rewatched BET at midnight. Now honestly it’s been coming on 4 years since I even looked. I just catch tidbits in blogs about WW.
It’s done.. her daytime talk is done. Hopefully she can regroup return to radio. Bust her fkn nasty ass hamgeron husbanfs skull and pull her sassy audience back.
I watched a little last week and will sometimes have the show on while doing tasks around the house. She said that she had been getting questions on why she had been sitting in audience segments, cooking/activity segments etc. She said something like “it’s my show and I can do whatever I want” and unconvincingly said she was basically fine. She also had Martha Stewart on and I could not believe how absolutely rude she was. Wouldn’t participate in whatever craft they were doing. Was shrugging and basically saying “Eh, idgaf”. Unprofessional and self important. The dopes in her audience who agree with and clap at everything she says are also a huge turnoff now.
I agree….that was a very bizarre episode. And I noticed a few years ago how loud Suzanne has become to get audience to react during Hot Topics (she’ll clap loudly, scream Oohhhh or some other expletive), it’s become annoying.
I remember watching an episode some weeks ago and her telling a guest that she wasn’t going to be here much longer. It was very eerie. I wish her great health and peaceful mind.
In addition to Graves disease, Wendy also suffers from Vertigo which may explain the flat shoes and sitting all the time. On her show on Thursday, I thought she had dental work the way she was talking. She was mean and disrespectful to The Lox and DMX. The Lox flew above the drama and were very gracious.
I agree, that interview started out very awkward, I thought it was going to be dead air for a while, but The Lox really pulled it out from under. They were professional, articulate, and interesting. In a way, they covered for whatever Wendy was going through. But with most other guests, I could see the interview going sideways fast.
Wendy need to go on and give that man half that money before he kills her and get it all. Wendy knows damn well he loves his side-chick of over 10yrs and her work has been taking care of them both. I know what goes around comes back around, and Wendy has said some real lowdown hateful things about some people. I pray that she can get it together and get off of that pipe or what ever she is on, and no everybody don’t have to be on drugs when they are sick, but I truly believe she is. I hope she can make it away from that man alive and that is what I will pray for!*
T’was divine intervention. The consequences of over prescribed medication are a bitter little pill to swallow.
Wendy needs help. Filming your show while higher than Cooter Brown is not a good look especially with her history. Prayers up for her, she definitely needs help. She’s been off for a while.
Off this is her first time taking mess since years ago, why has she been”off” for a while? I’ve had some experience with pain meds sounds like she’s been on them for some TT. Hope that’s not the case and that she gets better.
I have been wanting to talk about this one SO bad. I watched Wendy years ago and she was sharp and funny. Skip ahead a few years, and it’s been a lot longer than a few episodes that she’s seemed out of it, to say the least. I was wondering if I was on an island over here! She’s been looking/acting high for a while now. Allegedly. She can barely string a sentence together. She just stops and stares. Someone already mentioned the belching. It’s bizarre. That Martha Stewart episode was bad. WW just shifted from chair to chair, more out of it than usual even. Bless her, I hope she gets it under control.
I’m an avid watcher for years and another friend is as well. We have said something seems up for a while. As others are saying here. The expose about the sidechick was a year ago but then there were rumors of an alleged pregnancy as justification for this behavior. Hard to believe there is not some sort of an understanding reached in that marriage presumably based on money and no prenup. But she never said how she hurt her arm, it’s weird there is no sling, they said it was her shoulder then said it was upper arm, but the streets have said for a long time there is domestic abuse so everyone is questioning this. I know a couple people with Graves whose medication seems to keep them in check. Her Graves is nothing new since she’s had the symptom of the eyes for a while. As others have said, she’s sounded off for a while and rumors there may be an issue of her continuing the show. I don’t see her parents on the show anymore either. Something serious seems up and it’s hard to believe the audience is going to stick around with her as a supposed straight talker for everyone else when she obfuscates about everything in her own life. That’s especially why she’s getting dragged now. I hope she gets it together. Her show has always been fun but not for a while now.
Her husband’s chicken definitely came home to roost, right up the road from the big house, this time. Ol Shug Knight Lite has skated on most of his other demonstrated abusive activities, both sexual and physical, perpetrated on his wife, her employees, co-workers, jump offs AND lets not forget his transgender lover from around the way. He/she disappeared and was later found dead under circumstances that friends still feel lead straight to old dude. The streets have been talking for years. Every shut eye ain’t sleep. He may currently be a co producer but had no title or job at any of her previous radio gigs.
