Wendy Williams was supposed to be back on her daily talk show this upcoming Monday, but that is no longer the case. That is because she tested positive for COVID-19, even though she allegedly got the vaccine.
“While continuing her health evaluations, Wendy has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19,” the statement reads. “To allow Wendy time to quarantine and fully recover and to ensure that our production abides by all SAG/AFTRA and DGA Covid protocols, we expect to begin the 13th season of The Wendy Williams Show. on Monday, October 4th. In the meantime, repeats will be scheduled.”
Williams was supposed to be doing press for the show this week but cancelled. She says that she is dealing with “ongoing health issues” and was being evaluated for them instead.
Now they are saying that she has a breakthrough case of COVID-19. However, I wonder if it is a breakthrough case because she was so adamant to Dr. Oz in January that she would not get the vaccine. But then again, I assume she was told she had to get it if she wanted to return to work.
I hope that SAG/AFTRA’s new president Fran Drescher makes it mandatory for everyone in the union to get the shot if they want to work on any production. This is a perfect example of why.
