On Sunday Afternoon, reports kept popping up saying that Wendy Williams mother, Shirley Williams has died. At this point, early Monday morning there has been no verification of this. The sole source of this information is someone named Courtney Brown, who posted the information on her Instagram. She said her grandmother and Williams were best friends for 83 years. Also she said that Ms. Shirley flew in to speak at her granny’s 100th birthday party. It seemed very credible. The post was taken down a few hours after sites began reporting and naming her as the source.
Multiple small to medium sites immediately began reporting that Wendy Williams mother, Ms. Shirley had passed away. But nothing has been picked up by any of the larger sites as of this morning, or the Local News sites. So, I am hoping that this is not true.
What Happens Now?
I probably won’t be awake to watch Wendy Williams on time this morning and it doesn’t air live here anymore anyway. But if this is true, either there will not be a new show today, Or Jerry O’Connell or someone will come fill in but that would have to be virtual. Or worst case scenario we will get a very fucked up Wendy on set (again).
Wendy was supposed to go out on two dates last Friday according to her. She was just starting to look a little bit better after several weeks of unusual behavior on her live show. If this is true, I don’t know if Wendy can handle any more pain and trauma right now. With Boof out of her life, she doesn’t seem to have a really solid support team. Or much of anyone at all. So, I guess we will have to tune in tomorrow to find out.

A new post was made on the WendyShow IG early Sunday evening. It was generic weekend roundup publicity. Wendy doesn’t run her IG. But all of the comments are offering condolences to Wendy and her family. Every passing hour today has made this more believable. So, let’s wait and see what airs during the show’s live timeslot today. Wendy Williams production team didn’t have much time to come up with a plan so it will most likely be a rerun. No official statement has been made by Wendy Williams or her show at the time of this report.
Last week Wendy was almost “back to normal” her show was fun again and she seemed coherent for the first time in ages. This is really going to shake her if true as Wendy is so close to her parents. My thoughts and prayers to them all.
This is so stupid. It isn’t even like rehab or relapse or cheating or whatever. It’s either true or it’s not, and either way it will be found out. Confirm or deny. One sentence.
I get that she is trying to trend on Twitter or make it in daily mail again or whatever, but gross. The hypocrisy is getting old.
@trashbox, 1. You sound insensitive as hell. 2. Wendy doesn’t owe it to us to confirm or deny. she was NOT trying to trend on twitter. On her show this morning she confirmed it saying it happ many weeks ago. So clearly it’s something she and her family decided to keep private, as they should and handle it in their own way. Prayers to Wendy and her family, especially her father. It seems like the family are all leaning on each other and being strong for the grandkids. Her mom was a hoot, may she Rest In Peace.
Oh please. This is a fact that is either true or not, and it’s literally public information many places.
She or her people could have responded to all the tweets with two lines that anyone would have respected. But nope, she wanted this story, so here we are!
Wendy makes her living invading people’s privacy and then pulls crap like this.
What did she pull? Wendy doesn’t need to seek attention. It came out publicly yesterday, and she addressed it on her show today. She has a talk show, she can address on HER show. She doesn’t have to send a tweet to humor you. Geez, you sound so hardened. Do you need a hug? I
By her saying this happ many weeks ago, I’m starting to think that had something to do with her behavior we saw end of October.
Yes I wonder that too now. She has seemed better recently. I get frustrated at the hypocrisy sometimes w/Wendy denying so much about Kevin for so long, being so private, etc, while blasting others, but I have a soft spot for her because watching her struggle over the past few yrs has been so sad to watch. I do wish her well.
ET Online and Page Six confirmed this news.
As did Wendy on her show.
Sad news for Wendy. Her mother, Shirley , was so cute and dainty and her parents were adorable and very proud of Wendy whenever they appeared on her show. Wendy’s brother recently posted on his You Tube channel that their mom died “ last Sunday” . Maybe their mom gradually declined over the past few weeks which might explain Wendy commenting on her Monday show that her mom died “ many, many weeks ago”. She also alluded to her mom passing peacefully with all her family being present . Condolences to Wendy and her family.
Yeah, Wendy seems to not be telling the complete truth.
