As rumors spread about Wendy Williams’ health issues, some staffers on her daytime talk show have revealed that some of the rumors we’ve heard are, sadly, true.
“The spark is gone. That Wendy, who for ten years had that spark in her eyes, that cheeky grin, and that little wink is not the same now,” a source told The Sun.
“She’s not always functioning like she used to be. She has days where she needs help eating, getting out of bed, and getting dressed. Sometimes she goes out in a robe and without shoes on — the old Wendy would never have allowed herself to be seen out like that.”
The insider added that Williams doesn’t always recognize members of her show’s staff. And, while longtime viewers had been hoping for a video from Williams, another source said that isn’t happening anytime soon. “She really can’t do a video. She’s been having a hard time holding a conversation.”
Fans haven’t heard from Williams since she released a statement about taking time off on Instagram in November 2021.
“HOW YOU DOIN’? I MISS YOU ALL! As everyone knows, my health has been a hot topic,” she wrote. “I’m making progress but it’s just one of those things that’s taking longer than we expected. I’m a woman of a certain age, and I know enough to listen to my doctors and will return to my purple chair as soon as we all agree I’m ready.”
