Ever since we found out that Wendy Williams was suffering from health-related issues in September, she has been radio silent. Today, the host broke her silence, and she has a message for her fans.
HOW YOU DOIN’? I MISS YOU ALL! As everyone knows, my health has been a hot topic. 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. I want to thank all of my staff and our guest hosts for stepping up and stepping in while I can’t be there. I also want to thank Debmar-Mercury and our stations for being so understanding and supportive while I work my way back. Most of all, I want to thank my fans. I have heard your prayers and comments and feel all the love! You are everything to me. I love spending my mornings with you all and I’m doing everything I can to get back to work, but right now Wendy has to focus on Wendy. I love you for watching.
I think this is the 57-year-old’s way of saying I won’t be back until at least January, if then. So expect to see guest hosts from now until the end of the year. And maybe a new host in September.
Unfortunately, the show is still doing well in the ratings even though she is not hosting. That could spell trouble for her.
