Wendy Williams leaves wellness facility, feeling ‘better than ever’
Williams’ talk show officially ended in June after the host had taken a several-month break due to her ongoing health issues
According to Fox News, “We are happy to report that Wendy Williams is home and healing after being in a wellness facility since August,” her publicist Shawn Zanotti told Fox News Digital. “Wendy is excited about the road ahead and looking forward to releasing her many projects.”
Zanotti passed along a message from Williams saying, “Thank you to my fans for your love, support and many prayers, I am back and better than ever.”
In September, Zanotti said that Williams was “taking some time to focus on her health and wellness as she prepares for a major comeback for the next level in her career with ‘The Wendy Experience’ podcast. Ms. Williams is being treated by a team of some of the best doctors in the world. We ask for your prayers and well wishes during this time.”
Williams’ talk show officially ended in June after the host had taken a several-month hiatus due to her ongoing health issues, which include Graves’ disease, lymphedema and vertigo.
The show had mainly been guest-hosted by Sherri Shepherd, who inherited her time slot last summer, since September 2021 when Williams took a leave of absence.
“We hope to be able to work with Wendy again in the future, and continue to wish her a speedy and full recovery,” producer and distributor Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said at the time. They also expressed their “great love and affinity for Wendy” and admiration for her success.
Talk show host Wendy Williams opened up about her treatments for lymphedema, which causes swelling in the arms and legs.
In March, Williams told “Good Morning America” she planned to come back to the show.
