Wendy Williams Enters Wellness Facility Over Concerns For Her Health
Wendy Williams has reportedly entered a wellness facility in hopes of being able to manage her “overall health issues.”
According to PEOPLE, the TV personality, 58, hopes the move will put her on the fast track to making a “major comeback.”
“She is 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," a press release from her publicist states, according to the outlet. "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."
Earlier this year, Williams’ ongoing health problems kept her from returning to host The Wendy Williams Show. Other stars, including Michael Rapaport, Jerry Springer, Whitney Cummings, and Sherri Shepherd, who became a fan-favorite, scoring the best ratings during her initial stint last November.
After the slew of guest hosts helmed the program, it was concluded after more than a decade on-air.
"She understands why this decision was made from a business point of view," Howard Bragman, a rep for Williams, said in a statement in February. "She has been assured by Debmar-Mercury that should her health get to a point where she can host again and should her desire be that she hosts again that she would be back on TV at that time."
