Wendy Gets Hostile With Co-Hosts
I get the feeling that Wendy Williams did not have the best holiday hiatus this year. She filmed her last two shows on Thursday to air December 20th and 21st and was increasingly incoherent in the two back to back filmings. She finally admitted that she had taken a painkiller for hairline fracture in her upper arm and was more effected by it than she expected. Wendy Williams seemed a bit angry the entire last week or so of filming. She began Hot Topics calling criticism about her using a podium or sitting in the audience for Ask Wendy. Wendy ended answering viewer concerns about this new behavior by basically saying, “It’s my show, that’s why!”
There was absolutely ZERO explanation about how her arm was fractured. She appears unable to raise her arm to put it through the armhole of her clothing.
While she was out on hiatus, I received some interesting news from a confidential source. Apparently, Kevin’s house with his mistress has been put on the market. I was not quite sure what to make of that information. I do know that the house was very close to Kevin’s marital home with Wendy. He had the audacity to put his name and the mistresses’ name directly on the mailbox. Or perhaps the sidepiece did that. It was all very public by 2017.
The Mistress Is Pregnant
Then I heard that there are rumors that the mistress is pregnant. I don’t remember much about her, but she must be a bit younger than Wendy if she is really pregnant. This could have been the big blow up that lead to the downward spiral and the arm injury. Something serious seems to be doing Wendy in.
Then, just yesterday, Wendy posted that she was returning with all new shows in three days on Monday! Then less than 24hrs later she took that post down and posted, “Wendy Williams will be returning with all-new episodes of The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, January 14, 2019. After fracturing her shoulder, Wendy is on the mend and wants to return pain-free and be 200%, delivering the best show that millions of viewers tune-in to watch.”
Production Is Hit In The Paycheck
This is unusual because it means that the entire staff is out of work for another week. It is likely they do not get paid for those days. The last time this happened was at the end of February and the beginning of March. During that time, Wendy reluctantly agreed to have Jerry O’Connell come in so that her employees could get paid. This was after she failed to show up to work last Valentine’s Day.
On Halloween of 2017 Wendy “fainted” on live TV. It looked more like a seizure to me that simply fainting from being overheated.
Since that Halloween incident, her foray into being a vegetarian seemed to end. She said the doctors told her she needed to eat more. Yet, her slurring problem and losing her train of thought during Hot Topics continued to become more of an issue.
We don’t know for sure everything that is going on with Wendy, but from my perspective, none of the possibilities are good. I hope she finds herself in a better place very soon.
This is all very sad news to me. Like you said, there’s a lot of possible issues that could be going on behind the scenes, and none of them are good. I hope she finds better health as the new year progresses.
Poor Wendy. I really enjoy her show and I joe 2019 is a better year for her.
The hubs and I just went vegetarian about six weeks ago and you do lose weight initially as your body adjusts. Wendy is already pretty skinny.
Very sad. I really like her and hate the nasty Kevin situation.
It seems like that coming out was the beginning of all the scary and bizarre episodes.
She’s obviously in a lot of turmoil. Heartbreaking. It just keeps getting worse.
Kevin looks and acts like a thug. I believe he hurts her. This house is because she will try to dump him after her son goes to school. She has too many excuses and he is not worth it. You said you have a sound proof bedroom. Well you better not lock the doors. He wants to control the lifestyle with your money. I like your show you are comical but Kevin probably has threaten you and you won’t ever air again if he really hurts you. Something is wrong. All he is doing is getting ready to leave anyway. He cheated he still cheats. Wendy get a clue before you’re destroy by this thug life creature.
It’s interesting on how she has not spoken how she injured herself. I really hope that he didn’t have anything to do with her injury. It hasn’t been just those two shows she’s been losing it for a while. If the stories are true I hope she divorces Kevin and I hope she gets her sh^t together. What a mess.
True, her shows and her, have been off for awhile now.
I’ve bren watching other shows during her time slot, and getting pretty comfortable watching them. The longer she’s out I think the easier it’ll be to stay tuned elsewhere (for alot of viewers). I’ll tune in for sure to see if she’s good & interested to see if she’s on point. It’s shame what that husband of hers has put her through. I know he’ll get 50% of her net worth but it’ll be worth it. She can recoup and she needs to drop him like her bad habit!
What is this hold that Kevin has over her? I really don’t get this.
He’s the executive producer of her show and basically runs her business. He’s the guy behind the scenes brokering the deals.
Very sad. I think Wendy enjoys her job and doesn’t like to miss work and the fact this is all happening seems like bad news. I hope she divorces him, kicks him to the curb and moves on stronger than ever.
I used to really enjoy Wendy Williams, I tend to follow people who “tell it like it is”, I hate fake sugar coated gossip, the more sugar coated, the more unbelievable it becomes! Give me the details and I’ll form my own opinion, gossip is dirty and ugly, and not nice.
I don’t know what’s going on with Wendy, I imagine she struggles with life as we all do, I don’t feel the need to know every detail of her personal life, she makes her living on talking about people in the spot light, so to me she is the “news caster” of the rich and famous. I don’t know about the private lives of my local news reporters, nor do I care to, just tell me the news and once in a while a little piece of your life, thats what makes you personable, likable. I love visiting your site TT, you tell it like it is and I love your stories about your life! Im sure you have personal issues you dont share with us and thats ok, I don’t love you any less…if you do share we are here to listen. No judgement. As a matter of fact, I learned about your site watching Wendy, she had made a snarky remark about you and it peaked my curiosity so I came jere to visit you and I love your style and I’ve been here ever since, thru all the “ups and downs” no judgement, just Love….I wish Wendy well, she needs time to sort stuff out, as we all do at times, and I will be there to see her when she returns. I’m that girl thats there for the good stuff and the not so good stuff.
So heres to you TT! Im here weather I agree with you or not because I see who you are and you are REAL!!
Cheers my friend…
Ronda I totally agree. I so wish Wendy the strength to do what she needs to do and be the strong woman I feel she is.
I believe that Wendy and Kevin’s finances are so emeshed after all of these years that he’s set up to take half of everything she’s made. Plus he probably bought the second home with the mistress with her money.
Now little Kevin has gone to college. I feel like Kevin agreed not to divorce until he was off to school. I believe that little Kevin was home for the holidays so if big Kevin had anything to do with her bone fracture he would know.
I wonder if little Kevin was told about “the oops baby” as Wendy calls them over the holidays. It has all the makings of a real shit show.
I also think she should drop that so called hubby, she can and is, so much better! He’s not good looking; every photo I see of them together he’s looking away like they’re not even together, he doesn’t want to be there. The son is grown, off to college. Get a divorce and enter the new chapter of your life. You deserve better!
Completely agree Karen! I just don’t understand why Wendy defends him and sings his praises on the show? He seems like a leech not an equal.
True, her shows and her, have been off for awhile now.
This is sad. No matter what caused her injury, it is causing her pain and the pain in her heart is even bigger. I wish she would let Jerry or someone sit in for her so her employees would get paid. I wonder if she fears that her show would be “given” away. Perhaps she could rotate subs. What does Catt Sadler’s schedule look like nowadays? I wouldn’t want her permanently, but to fill in would be good.
I believe her husband is her manager. Feel bad for her.
He is. And this is way more complicated than years of of cheating and a possible new baby.
Neither of these two are pristine perfect members of society. There are all sort of rumors about BOTH of them. These two were “partners in crime” for years before things took a turn. Disclaimer, I use the phrase as just that, a common saying. My point is they know where each others bodies are buried in my opinion. I feel like they both have things on each other that puts them at sort of a stalemate.
Their finances are extremely intertwined. With the mistresses house being up for sale and at a loss, it certainly looks like assets are being liquidated and some sort of behind the scenes divorce is going to happen. I’m sure it will involve lots of NDAs and we may never be able to find out where the bodies are buried…
This reply is really all the tea I need to know what’s going on. Thanks for the scoop, TT!
Totally agree with you. As she would say, The streets have been talking about them both for a long time. There have been continuous rumors about her not being nice off-camera and basically being nothing like what she supposedly stands for. Her folks haven’t been on the show in a minute. Streets say he completely controls her, allegedly, and that she, allegedly, when people have gone to her to complain about him for allegedly harassing women at work, etc., she completely supports him and joins in attacking anyone who might be telling the truth. I have watched for a long time and something is definitely up. It’s also quite clear that, based on things they said over the holiday, they’re going to stay in the same mode of pretending nothing is wrong and not explaining anything. And attacking anyone speaking out. We would have to assume that somewhere that mistress is going to be tracked down since they already moved and we will see whether she is pregnant, and if not, we will never know if she was. The investigation that was done showed all the receipts. Like you said, deed and their mail proved it. And she pretended nothing happened. She’s very thin, scattered, no explanation on the supposed shoulder injury, etc. The question is how long people are going to tune in to the suppose it “say it like you mean it” who lies about all her truths. Smells like someone is in rehab and, if that’s what is happening, I hope so.
This is really concerning. I hope she has a good support system in place and if she doesn’t I hope she finds one quickly. Whether it’s a therapist or friends or both. This continuous spiral is scary and I really don’t want to wake up anytime soon and see bad news about her.
I think Kevin cut her off from her friends because they TRIED to warn her.
What a mess. I really hope she’s reached out to someone. This situation sets off my alarm bells big time.
I really think he’s cut off everyone from her too! He in my opinion of course, controls every aspect of her life. He supposedly called meeting to all staff of her WW show and threatened them all if there are any more leaks getting out, he’ll know and will FIRE them on the spot. They all thought he was going to give an update on Wendy’s health & update them when she’d be back. But he never even mentioned Wendy, at all. Yeah, he’s controlling even with the staff of her show. So you better believe he controls her. Sad, Wendy is, and deserves better.
Yes! TT, preach! I’m a watcher since the beginning of her show plus I used to watch the show they put out when she was on radio. Something is up and it smells like rehab, which I hope it is. But the streets have talked for years, as she would say. Remember when she said whatever about Kandi’s man on WWHL years ago, and Kandi basically said people in glass houses shouldn’t talk. How many more stories do we need to see about him supposedly being physically and emotionally abusive? And those women who tried to sue him for allegedly sexually harassing them at work, those stories came back saying that she completely supported him and try to tear down the women. Allegedly. So how long before people start realizing that Emperor isn’t wearing any clothes? Her straight talk is never about herself. And every story seems to reveal she’s not a nice person or anything like what she portrays on tv. Now, based on what we have heard out of them over Xmas break, it looks as though she will come back and pretend absolutely nothing is wrong, and that her marriage is the best thing ever. Her parents haven’t been on that show for a minute. Can you imagine how they feel? She made it clear she will not allow anyone to talk to her about him. I guess her money he allegedly spends on the side chick is still cheaper than parting with half her money plus future money. You hit the nail on the head, they’re so intertwined in their shady stories, I doubt she will move on. Fans would love if she divorced, gave him half, tearfully confessed. It would be good for her show and image, but I guess not on her wallet.
It;s no secret Wendy has no real nationally known celebs for a few years. Part of that is Bethenny Frankels fault http://tamaratattles.com/2014/02/14/the-new-york-city-talk-show-wars-wendy-williams-knocks-out-bethenny-frankel/ but a lot of it was people jumping ship because of Kevin’s agression toward the entire crew, allegedly. He was awful.
I am looking through the TV listings that were supposed to be for this week.
Monday was supposed to be a review of Golden Globe Fashions and some nutritionist.
Tuesday would have been Ask Wendy (where she probably could not stand and some comedian named Roy Wood Jr.
Wednesday would have been Sherry Lee Ralph from “Fam” no idea what that even means and “hot winter gadgets.”
Thursday was Victoria Rowell from “Jacqueline and Jilly” ????? and a Korean chef.
Friday Judge Wendy because she needs to have a seat, literally during the second Thursday filming.
My point is that I have people more well known than this asking me for interviews. I don’t like doing interviews. I really don’t like interacting with Bravolebs at all because it makes me too close to the subject.Yet I am asked frequently to interview people more nameworthy than WW as are most podcasters.
I record three morning programs, Wendy, The View and Live with Kelly and Ryan every morning. I don’t do mornings but when I wake up I watch the first 20 minutes of Wendy first because it is live and it will tell me if anyone died or got arrested overnight. Then I watch the other two shows while reading my emails. Wendy is COMPLETELY wrong about what went down most of the times and she can’t remember the names of people even though she uses a teleprompter. I ask my own sources to find out the real story.
It’s bad. This is likely her last season.Despite her contract going to 2022, they usually have pick up clauses after every season.
omg! i didn’t know i had to scroll trough the comments to get more tea!!
You approach your job with more intention and preparation than our beloved president. I think you have created the perfect job/vocation for you. On your terms. Back in the day I used to think you just watched the shows and recapped. And I would wonder “How can she state xyz with such authority?” Now I realize that the Tamara web stretches far and wide. I’ve read every other blog I could find on HW’s etc. and no bueno. And you’re FAF. You remind me of my father preparing for the day by reading the NYT, the WSJ, and the Daily News. Minus the suit and tie!!
Godspeed Wendy
I think all this speculation about her personal life is sensational but downright sad at the same time
My hope is she doesn’t turn back to drugs, if she hasn’t already done so. She’s fragile and puts on a facade for the cameras but it’s evident that she’s loosing ground.
There was a report of a second property, a luxury condo in Fort Lee NJ, going up for sale that was Kevin’s as well. Looks like they are liquidating properties for a divorce settlement. I think Wendy was totally blindsided by this news of pregnancy and long term relationship. He was using her as is cash cow for pretty much their whole marriage. I hope she has good friends around her.
Her eyes look like she is in active hyperthyroidism (graves disease). That could explain the losing her train of thought. I too have it and until thyroid levels are balanced it’s a horrible experience. Thyroid controls sooo much. I could hardly form a sentance or look anyone in the eye I was under 100 lbs and ate like a pig. Tremors anxiety. Thought I was losing my mind. Cut her some slack. We don’t know what’s actually going on.
I thought about Graves’ disease also. Like you explained, the weight loss and anxiety is apparent. Hope she finds balance both physically and mentally. She would be better off without her husband but won’t realize it until it happens. I couldn’t imagine having to work him. Sad indeed,
Work with him.
she does have Graves disease, she has said that on the show
In ask Wendy, she would tell young woman to have threesomes when you go on vacation. Now she tells them not to do it. I have a feeling that wendy, Kevin and his girlfriend had a threesomes and he could not stay away.
Mourning yet another woman of a certain age put out to pasture, ground down after serving a long sentence as cash cow for the men in her life.
even if her actions are from painkillers, she shouldn’t be on TV–she needs to face the music, not mask her probs
Come on Wendy! You are a strong woman with many “cohosts” standing behind you. Sending wishes for peace and health in 2019.
When I first started watching her was sitting in a office waiting. So I would catch Hot Topics once a month. So I started watching and became a huge fan.
It sadly has dwindled to the point I haven’t watched since the first day the tree was up.
Kind of sad, I really really thought she and her life, and family were special. Guess I really thought she was honest and I could trust what she said, or knew what she said. The pauses were beginning to be a distraction, and hard to ignore. I really hope she pulls it together, her weakness is coming through, making her human, but a huge loss, for years of hard work. I think her fans will hang on a little bit longer. Hope so.
Picasso’s Christmas with Elvis. Blue, blue according to the tree.
Wendy constantly reminds viewers she doesn’t trust anyone so her friend list is probably less than 3. She is isolated in her home as she doesn’t like guest. Her world is probably spinning as she reads all the gossip rags because she is now in the hot seat. A list celebraties rarely come to her show even the black stars that use to come. She is coming to the end of her reign and that must be hard. She didn’t learn how to play the game so game almost over. Feel bad but she did it to herself. Bye Felicia.
Where have I been? I totally missed all this scoop on Kevin. Last I heard about her was when she passed out on her show. I hope she finds herself again since reeling from her health issues and now these marital issues.
For me the worst part of the story was that on Friday they were hyping her show on social media (she dosn’t run the account) and then like 14 hours later they were announcing she needed another week off. Was there an incident on that Friday night???
