SHOCKING UPDATES!
We now know the reason why Wendy Williams made this odd announcement today. Daily Mail has been following her ever since her return from rehab. They have seen the Sober Coach take her to the studio every day, and Kevin Hunter take her back to the sober house.. The Sober house is an apartment in a seedy part of the city. They have film of Kevin doing this on more than one occasion. The couple does not appear to speak. There is no hug, kiss or even a goodbye. He just rings the buzzer for her and leaves. He is immediately on the phone.
She Did Got To Rehab In Florida
Daily Mail seems to have reliable sources about he stay in rehab while in Florida. They say she was still drinking and doing pills while in rehab. They also say that Kevin was down there with his girlfriend, Sharina. This isn’t really surprising based on the link I just posted.
Daily mail reports that Wendy Williams has been in sober living facility in Long Island City since February 19th. Wendy has a sober coach with her at all times due to her lack of commitment at the rehab facility in Florida.
Her Mocking Reports About Mama June Today Seems Even Worse
This morning I started watching Wendy Williams as I do most days and for the first time I found myself fast forwarding through her hot topics. She has been covering the story of Mama June who was recently arrested with her boyfriend in Alabama for crack charges among other things. Mama June has a history of gravitating to the worst men on earth who proceed to take advantage of her. But that is another story.
What Is Going On With Wendy Williams Legs?
I bring it up because Wendy Williams who has always been sort of a fan of Mama June seemed to be presenting the story in a joking fashion the past few days. She would tell the story with what she things is a southern accent and mock the grammar of the loser that Mama June was dating. She would also misrepresent the facts. Pretty much all of her hot topics were weird.
Then she brought out someone after the break to give accurate hot topic news. I decided I had better things to do with my time. So I deleted the program. As I pushed the button, I thought “This will probably be the day where she drops some big bombshell.” But I didn’t really believe it.
And then she did. Sort of.
Wendy Williams Is Living In A Sober House
At the end of the show, while standing in the audience, Wendy Williams said that she has been living in a sober house “for some time now.” She started off reminding us that she has a foundation to help people on drugs “for the good of the people. A woman over her right shoulder laughs. She has trouble holding it together for the entire statement.
Basically she says she a 24 hour sobriety coach with her at all times. The sober coach takes her from the studio, to the meetings to the sober house. She lives in a sober house with lots of smelly guys who hog the TV and want to watch soccer all the time. The house is locked and the lights go out at ten pm.
Here is the best information I have on what is actually going on with Wendy Williams.
Why Is She Telling Us This Now?
Her daily routine is to leave work and go to meetings before heading to the sober house. Only her husband and her son knew about this arrangements. Apparently, someone else found out or we wouldn’t be hearing about it. Kevin probably told the girlfriend who told errybody.
Wendy Williams did not say she was an addict.She did not say she was using. At first, she brought up the Hunter Foundation and made it seem like she was on some sort of recognizance mission to learn about her brothers and sisters caught up in the struggle. She did not address whether or not she had been in a rehab while in Florida. She just ended it with “that is my truth.”
This Was Wendy WIlliams’s Truth On Her First Day Back
I did pick up something in her hot topics conversations the past few days though. She talked about Kevin a lot. Today she said that people should let Pam Anderson be with this younger guy she is dating because “no one wants to be alone.” She also said her parents didn’t know. I hope she called them before the show. Or maybe she will call them after and tell them the real truth.
Wendy Williams’ Body Language On Her Return Show Was Interesting.
Today, I don’t think she even came close to telling us her truth. But, It’s a start. I am concerned that she doesn’t seem to be able to get over Kevin. He was not mentioned at all in this speech other than to say he and her son were the only ones who knew.
This story is far from over. Check out the video over on The Blast.
I hope she is getting the help she needs. It will be terribly difficult to quit using if her trigger is still in her life. The Miami/Boca area is a rehab haven….it had to be quite a stay to be in sober living WITH a coach as a follow up. I’m sure she was tipped off the story was going to break. Well wishes to Wendy!
Once she bans him it will get messy cause he is not only her manager but also an executive producer of the show in addition to being her abuser. But once she gets rid of him she’ll be in a much better head space. She’ll have her moments but she will get through it. Wendy is stronger than she realizes.
I remember when Tamar Braxton got fired from The Real and her husband, Vince was the Executive Producer (EP). Actually I think they were both EPs.
I think once Wendy gets through her recovery, her show will be cancelled and her marriage will officially be over. I wish her the best! 20 of my friends and I used to watch her show daily and discuss it every night. None of us watch her show anymore.
It would be nice for her to get rid of her husband, dump this show (to get rid of her husband), and do a reboot show. As much as I don’t care for some of her behavior, I’m rooting for her.
I’m still rooting for her, too.
Come on Wendy, woMAN up & deal with all this mess. Be the Phoenix alot of us believe you can be! *Virtual hugs*
I agree, she is not being very forthcoming. It must be difficult to have made a career from commenting, prying,and having opinions about celebrity’s personal lives while at the same time
keeping your own tumultuous family life under wraps. It’s hypocritical in my opinion.
No, he is not being kept from her. Last week they filmed her coming out of her studio w/out any makeup and a looong white puffy coat wrapped around her but with her left hand out showing her wedding ring. Some big dude holding her bright yellow handbag. The caption said she was getting few items from the grocery store. Then they film HIM coming out of the studio wearing clothes style a teenager would wear; he looks nothing like a Producer. He quickly catches up to her. He’s on his phone & she looks back at him kinda giving him an eyeroll. He’s happy and looks like trying to get her attention. He keeps talking to her and he’s finally beside her. She smiles but looks like she doesn’t want to. Maybe the guy holding her handbag is her sober coach, or security? I watch her show for about 10-15 minutes but she talks about mothing I care to hear about. She’s not the WW I started watching 5-6 yr ago. I’m out.
I noticed the show seemed different too. I began losing interest. Maybe it was because she didn’t address her issues. I thought she owed it to her audience. It would have made her more relatable. Telling people’s business s her business and hers is not exempt. It was like watching someone lie everyday & you knew it. A complete turnoff.
I was happy she did try to open up today. I almost missed it because I came in on Lunell. There was a time I wouldn’t miss a show.
Agree with everything you posted…just can’t bring myself to watch her anymore.
OH what did she do with Suzanne, get her off the set? Barely started seeing Norman. Before when you didn’t see her (camera time) you could hear her laugh, and encouraging the audience to clap & chant “Wendy”, “Wendy”!
I was watching another show and I swear I heard Suzanne’s laugh in the background. It’s very distinctive. Perhaps she has moved on.
Until she can publicly admit she has a problem, she will not be able to fix the problem.
I like WW.
I’m uncertain if Wendy needs to tell all of us what is going on with her but she does need to accept it,begin to understand and yes to her personal public admit what it is. Wendy might lose her audience if she isn’t forth coming though.
Addiction to be kept this quiet needed enablers, buffer/protectors from new friendships, nosy work staff and she had no live-in staff. Probably why Susan is still around, she has been loyal.
WHO is Susan?
Suzanne is Wendy’s hype woman. She gets the audience wound up before Wendy comes on.
She can afford better, do you think this could be his way of controlling her and making sure she can’t get to a lawyer? Everyone seems terrified of her husband.
My heart goes out to her.
She does name drop her husband from her d*mn purple chair ALOT, making me want to gag! Seems she’s trying to convince herself as much as she’s trying to convince “her people” on what an asset he is to her. Ass yes. If she dropped that zero her life would turn around and she could be, a hero.
AND her chair isn’t purple, it’s fuschia. The one she sat in to pay homeage to Prince was purple, but that’s since been retired..like maybe she should? She might get it together if she weren’t on the tv M – F being scrutinized. She could then maybe get it together and come back on another forum. Give time for him to break from her, or her from him. I dunno anymore..but it’s sad.
First of all READ THE GODDAMN COMMENTING RULES.
Secondly, “She does name drop her husband from her d*mn purple chair ALOT, making me want to gag! Seems she’s trying to convince herself as much as she’s trying to convince “her people” on what an asset he is to her. Ass yes. If she dropped that zero her life would turn around and she could be, a hero.”
This is YOUR COMMENT From THE DAY BEFORE YOU LEFT THIS ONE.
You will find correcting me, especially when you are wrong. doesn’t bode well for your future here.
First, it’s good she is doing something. But it has to be called out the fact that she doesn’t do something or say something until her back is in the corner. Clearly, she was doing something that caused her to act the way she did before Christmas break. I am sure the production company likely went to them and said she must go into rehab and that’s why she went. Also, thanks for that daily mail heads up because I wondered where they went. It seems so odd that when that news broke about the pregnant sidepiece that they were not doing their investigation since they’re the ones who started it.
So again, they have the receipts and so she is backed in a corner and has no choice but to say something. Although, they had receipts on the girlfriend and she denied it so I guess she can always still pretend and continue to front. And I totally agree, the husband must’ve told the girlfriend who then blabbed to other people and they found out. Or, quite simply, it’s just good journalism. They followed her. I think it’s wrong for the DM to show pictures of where it is. It’s just respectful of the privacy of folks trying to get their lives together. they should have just shown those one or two close-ups of her at the door where the building could not be identified. They should not of given the name nor should they have given the location. Now she’s going to have to go elsewhere because people are going to be looking to take pictures of her. And that’s wrong.
So she was going to be outed and had no choice, and I wouldn’t be surprised that a lot of folks, like me, stopped recording the show after she fronted and didn’t come clean about anything. I’m still not watching anymore until she tells the truth on her “marriage”. And also Howard Stern called her out for her “mystery illness” and husband. Hope she gets better though. And you know shit is bad when you need a 24 hour sober companion
While I always felt she’d be back, I had no clue re rehab. Hope she works it out .
I keep trying, but she has lost her spark. It is hard to hear her “say it like she means it” about everyone else. It feels less like a guilty pleasure and more dirty & enabling. I hope she keeps moving forward and getting healthy so that she can be clean and come clean. The last couple days she’s been talking about everything she’s eating at home in front of the TV… All lies. Apparently that is where I draw the line lol
Yeah, I could have sworn I’ve heard her talk about watching TV with Kevin since she was back. Perhaps not. But she seemed to be going to great trouble to name drop him here and there from the purple chair.
I’m so sadly confused. The greatest admiration I had was her honesty. Can she not be honest due to the top executives? I’m not finding it impossible for her not to check out sober living. Her sober coach may be security so addicts don’t “frighten” her. That’s a possibility to me. She’s scared of the killers attacking at various places, so she may not be willing to be exposed to possibilities that can put her at risk but do it without doing it fake (security guard). I’m beginning to think this may be a extremely planned event to not destroy the Hunter Foundation, but pull it off.
(Something just seems to not make sense)
Sober coaches are usually hired by the higher-ups to keep executives and celebrities sober. It is not an option, but a requirement for those who have them.
Hi Tamara! You heckled me on Twitter to set up a Username for your site and here I am! Thanks, as always, for correctly spilling the tea on Wendy Williams. I’m sad that she’s been dealing with these issues for quite some time, but hope that she (and Lala) are getting the help that they rightly deserve.
Dahling, how long I have waited for this day. Go forth and be loquacious!
Until she can say the words “I am an addict” there is very little hope she will stay clean. I speak from 33 years of dealing with addicts. She may not say it publicly but she still has to be willing to say it out loud to those who can help her. I wish her well and wish her happiness.
She as talked about her “past addiction” since returning and how that means she must be … I forget the exact words she used but something similar to vigilant for the rest of her life. Despite calling her smelly housemates her brothers and sisters, she seemed to have a very distant view of them and seemed to imply she was there to learn about the poor addicts who are suffering. It was odd.
I am agreeing with you. Just pointing out how she sort of dances around that subject and sometimes gets right up to the line before distancing herself again.
I’m with you on this one! To hear Wendy talk, it was almost like she was doing research for her “Foundation” or something. It was hard to get to the point that Wendy is living in a sober house because Wendy has a problem. All that talk about going to meetings with her “brothers and sisters” and with the emphasis on THEM and not on herself, eg: “I am addict.” “I need to go to MY meetings” or “It’s important to ME to go and/of live that way.” all muddied up just why exactly she was living and doing the things she was talking about.
And so…how are her ratings? Has she lost any viewers since she returned?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Yes, exactly
I’m curious as to why she would choose to stay at a sober living facility in a bad neighborhood. It just seems like a weird choice. Is it possible that it’s not her choice at all? I’m sure you would’ve heard if it was a legal thing but, in LA there are so many of those places in nice areas. I’d imagine in NY as well. Why not stay somewhere nicer? Anyway, I’m glad she’s getting help. I hope she commits and sticks to it.
I am confused by that too. I thought rich fancy people had their own versions of a sober house. This calls to mind a halfway house after a prison sentence.
This is not a bad area. Industrial with rapidly expandibg new construction. The cheapest place is 500k (not over 500 sf). NYC real estate is different – so many out of town investors with cash to spend. This is not a seedy area. Once upon a time, yes (the good ole bad NYC) but not now.
Wendy need to drop Kevin and work on her sobriety. He must be in love with that other woman and her heart is broken. She has to admit she is an addict and move on without him. Wishing her good health and prayer.
Just one on a side note, can I just point out that Long Island City is NOT in a “Seedy” part of town. It is far from it. Lol. Sorry It’s just a pet peeve of mine when people not from NY think any part of the city outside of manhattan is seedy.
It looked pretty seedy. And that information came from Daily Mail who was there and said there were people hanging around the area who… I forget how they were described. But I am sure Long Island City has seedy parts just like every other city. This place was practically under an overpass.
Wendy and Kevin posted a pic On IG – I think the Shade Room – it’s a pic of both giving us/world the finger
My my my, eating a little crow with the tea but she standing with him giving all of us the finger is beyond me. How she thinks she is united with him on any front is ludicrous!
I have deleted Wendy from my DVR. How can she expect people to watch her dish on others when her life is a hot mess! And who ask for advice from an addict and an abused woman? She needs to go away, divorce the asshole, clean up emotionally and physically then come back and rise from the ashes like the Phoenix. I believe that’s the advice she gave to Sherry Shepherd, Mary J and Tamar B. Time for her to live her truth!
I totally agree with you!!!!
I’ll be very curious how her ratings are. I stopped recording it. She’s still fronting because she didn’t say why she decided to talk some. And her BS of I’m a straight shooter and always tell you the truth. And I love my husband so much. Yeah, right, I doubt too many folks will know she was going to be outed so it forced her to sort of confess, like TT said. She still hasn’t said what it is, as folks have pointed out, except her talking about the pain pill with the shoulder. But clearly, this is going on a long time, and likely how she lost her weight. Maybe Adderall, maybe her old addiction, but something. They need to not follow her, leave the folks alone trying to get sober, and instead now follow HIM. Gotta be the day coming when Nikki is caught pregnant or not with him in a picture. Or just herself, perhaps pregnant.
And I agree, I don’t think you’d say any multi-millionaire in that sober house. But often you do hear that being coddled, etc is not the way. She’s doing it hardcore and that should be better. But I think she was forced into rehab, and that’s not the way to stay sober. She has to speak her truth and want it, not be given an ultimatum from production, etc.
There is no way Wendy lives there. Maybe she goes in for a meeting but a sober coach can live at home with you. This whole story is sketchy. I think she is covering for Kevin and trying to get the heat off him. I call bs in this one.
T- You are very good at investigating and this is my gut feeling after looking at Pure Sober House in Long Island City. They treat everyone from sexual addiction to eating disorders. They take cash as a form of payment ( red flag). They also have a location in Murry Hill Manhattan (where she works) 30’s east side location much nicer than Long Island city. Kind of sketchy website.
Having other people come in and out of a sober house is not as secure as being in your own home. I think she is getting publicity for this program because is it linked to the Hunter foundation. (Kickbacks maybe)
I’m sorry but this still is a bunch of mess…DailyMail has a full blown article on all of this (like they did when they exposed her husband’s mistress) and it was only after they called her this morning for a comment before they published their article that she decided to tell “her truth” on her show today. I get wanting to go through something like this privately but if you make your living talking about “hot topics” and giving your harsh opinion on everyone else’s life…you kinda loose the right to pick and choose what you want to share about yours. Plus…she still wasn’t honest…where in that rambling confession did she say what she was there for? Wendy knows if this was any other celebrity she would be reading them for filth for this kind of mess.
PREACH!
Does anyone believe folks don’t know who she is there at this place she’s allegedly staying? Those pictures and video is one luxury car after the other, a friggin Bentley and her in the white, down comforter and blonde wig? How would she NOT be noticed? Does that seem like trying to act like regular folk? The people living there go out to smoke as recovering addicts do, and she rolls up in those cars in that area? There’s more to this I’m sure.
Half listening/half reading this morning, once I understood what WW was saying, I still didn’t comprehend it all.
On the one hand, she seemed to be hyping/humble bragging the work of the Hunter Foundation. On the other, she seemed to be saying she’s struggling with addiction issues, chauffeured 24/7 by a sober coach and living in a sober house. It was like a revelation wrapped up in a PSA, “the more you know,” commercial.
Ultimately, I think she should — and will — divorce her husband. There’s too much smoke, too much fire. More importantly, there is far too much disrespect on his part. That alleged girlfriend of his, the house he bought her, the web of “trickle down,” financial insanity that people are buzzing about (with his girlfriend being the sugar mama of her hometown boyfriend) — it’s all much too much for any woman on earth.
And this particular woman has to be on — primetime/showtime “on” — on national TV 5 days a week. That’s not nothing. That Kevin is far, far too disrespectful for anyone to deal with.
I’m Wendy’s age. And I happen to be from the exact place she is — though I do not know her at all. But I mention this because chicks our age, we just want to nest up in our own homes, wearing our favorite jammies, watching our shows on TV and generally taking it easy when we have a few precious moments to relax.
Here she is, in the prime of her career, still young enough to enjoy life to the fullest — and she’s got this putana husband of hers dropping her off at a scuzzy halfway house in another state. All the while he goes “home” either to the house he shares with Wendy…or the other one he has with his goomar chick.
I don’t know if this relationship has always been damaged. But, regardless of their past, this relationship is damaging now.
So hang on!
All that talk about being in the hospital when she was missing from her show…remember the huge monologue at the top of the show about her Graves Disease complications and MRIs, and then her thyroid acted up?
All a lie.
Now that she’s been back, listen to what she’s been saying right up until yesterday; she talked a lot about being “out on the town.” And she even talked about being out so late that she needed to snack again. How about that pizza “she ordered with extra mushrooms, extra peppers, and extra onions.”??
So now she’s telling us she’s in a lock down facility…you think they let pizza delivery guys in there? And how was she out on the town so late that she needed to eat again…but she’s in a place that has lights out and bedtime by 10pm??
Wendy can’t seem to tell the truth with a simple story like ordering pizza; how on earth is she going to face being totally honest with herself?
WOW. Y
I didn’t think about the recent lies. You’re observations area on point! She is still not ready to stand in her truth because this was a forced confession before she was going to outed.
Damn, with the Tea and then some. I liked watching Wendy’s hot topics from time to time and then after this all went down and she came back and gave no explanation and was so flippant about her absence, I really just couldn’t tune in anymore. She seems different in her hot topics too and The Whole show just felt like a farce. So of course last week I took it off my DVR and now this confession? Thanks for keeping us updated. Even with the half truths it’s hard not to think of her as a fraud. I hope she is able to find and live in her truth.
Am I the only one who thinks that Kevin Hunter allegedly outed Wendy to The Daily Mail? I believe he is allegedly working on leaving Wendy and the relapse is a physical and psychological reaction to him leaving her. Remember, Kevin is allegedly a “terrible person” and a “bad dude”.
Wendy needs more than a sober coach and rehab. She needs a psychologist on standby and a life coach to help her through this challenging time.
Yes Wendy said I never dealt with my addiction in this past age says she just stopped….never mentioned anything recent and said experience has been interesting weird…
Reminds me of when Oprah filmed that weird reality show with Lindsay Lohan, and she had that “sober coach” person. Uh, that worked out great.
And Wendy has talked about Lindsay’s sober coaches and not in a good way. Now she has one. Hope it works out for her better than it did for Lindsay 😎
Today, Katie Couric came on the show and said that Wendy’s story can help so many people. She said it in a way that she felt Wendy had come clean, when she has not.
Wendy’s response was something like, ” I’ve met a lot of people who suffer from addiction and it’s said.” That is not an exact quote.
But once again, she is talking as if she is some sort of investigative reporter who is undercover in a sober house to learn about the poor addicts. It’s bizarre.
Other than that it was a regular show. Then she tried to call the show she was supposed to be publicizing for Bravo “Filthy Mexicans” If I can defend her at all… it seemed she was trying to call the show Filthy Rich Mexicans instead of Mexican Dynasties. She was claiming that Bravo had sent her a copy. It was clear she had not watched it. Instead she launched in to some long explanation of how she could watch a ten o’clock show when lights out in the halfway house is at ten.
SO TIRED HEARING ’bout damn Mama June & hillbilly bf arrest on drug charges! Started on Fri., then Mon., Tues., & now Wed., dammit Wendy, talk about your drugs – that’d be hot topics, NOT damn Mama June!
DM is up with pictures of him on vacation with the sidepiece. How is she going to keep fronting? It’s only time a picture of her with the baby will surface.
Tamara, did you see the mistress and him on vacation!!! The photos mistress herself took. I’m so hurt for Wendy
I’m not. Wendy has known about this for years. She could have left this fool years ago.
It’s so sad to see a picture of Wendy walking into that seedy sober house holding leftovers from her cooking segment yesterday. I don’t understand why she’s in that place. She’s the one who’s always afraid of ‘the killer’. He could be there! This is all so strange.
I feel like her hot topics is just quite not right. Kinda boring. Who cares about Mama June? Not me. I want to hear her truth, she’s been lying and keeps on lying. Maybe she has good reasons to lie for her image with the show.
So, while she’s in the sober house, Kevin gets to be with the mistress full time. This is bullshit.
No HOT TOPICS again today. Fluff ‘topics’. I’m not sure if that is because the higher ups are censoring her or she is censoring “topics” because she is feeling hypocritical now that all her business is out. So sad. Right or wrong I used to enjoy listening to someone take on celebrity bs without fear of retribution.
It’s just a slow news day.
So what exactly does the Hunter Foundation support? What programs? Their website just had a donate page and a fundraiser party coming up. Fundraising for what exactly?
Was yesterday (3/21) a re-run?
I don’t think so, but I really didn’t pay that much attention.
I
I am done taping the Wendy Williams show I watcher her on my DVR at night for years but her standing my a cheating husband with a girlfriemd and trying to tell us her viewers she has a good marriage when it clearly is in crisis was the final straw
I feel you are back in rehab because of him and he must hold some power over you. Why can’t your parents and siblings talk sense into you. You lost a long time viewer because you are not being honest and you talk about everyone else’s marriage. Hope someone shakes some sense into you. What do you think your husband is doing while you are living in a sober house! He has it made. You are the moneymaker and he has freedom to cheat
Wendy needs to divorce Kevin if what we have been hearing is true BUT she is not strong enough yet. Wendy is just getting her sea legs as it relates to sobriety.
