Legendary TV personality Wendy Williams may not be returning to the screens anytime soon, even after being away for months on end.
According to reports, the TV personality still has yet to recuperate fully and will still be away for the rest o this season. “Wendy won’t be returning to the show for the rest of this season. Her healing is going slower than everyone had hoped. She continues to deal with a number of medical issues, including Graves’ disease, and she and her team are taking it one day at a time,” the source says.
A constant guest host on the show, comedian Sherri Shepherd, is reportedly in talks for her own daytime show, which could potentially replace Wendy Show. The show is now in its 13th season and Wendy has been away the entire season owing to health issues – she suffers from Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder.
“But reports of a stroke, drugs or addiction issues or a dementia diagnosis are all false. Whether Wendy can return in the fall will depend on how her healing goes over the summer. Her health is the most important thing,” adds the source.
The show is one of the most successful syndicated daytime shows of all time since launching in 2008.
