‘Lots More Wendy Stuff’: Wendy Williams Spotted Walking Out of Facility After Rumors of Her Being Confined to a Wheelchair

Posted byBy Steph Sutorius | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Talk show host Wendy Williams has turned up in a video released this week that apparently depicts her leaving a Miami health care facility in Miami.

Wednesday’s video emerged against the backdrop of weeks of rumors of the deterioration of Williams’ health and career. Williams seemed fine enough to walk and was questioned by a photographer following her to her car and asking about her show being “canceled.”

Williams was barefoot and clad in a bright red Versace robe and being assisted to a waiting black SUV. Her driver escorted her on his arm while another woman walked along with her. 

The photographer shooting video of her asked if she is sad that her show is being canceled. Williams ignored the question and proceeded to her vehicle, where her driver helped her get into the back seat of the car. 

The questioner asked, “Is your recovery going OK? Because everyone is really concerned.” To which Williams replied, “Wendy is doing fabulous.” As the driver was about to close the door, her interlocutor asked, “Any more words for the fans?” Williams took a second to think and then quickly said, “Um, lots more Wendy stuff.”

This all comes on the heels of a whirlwind of rumors surrounding Williams and if she will be returning to host her show. Evidently, her divorce from Kevin Hunter and losing her mother, Shirley Williams, added to her stress amid her rehabilitation. 

Another rumor that is circulating is that “The Wendy Williams Show” is canceled, but it isn’t. Instead, there are temporary guest hosts keeping the show going. When Sherri Shepherd hosted one week, the ratings went up 32 percent. The worry could be that the network executives could rebrand and replace Williams with Shepherd instead. 

Shepherd will be guest hosting again during the week of Dec. 13-17. In the meantime, Williams is headed home to complete her rehabilitation until she will be ready to return to work, but whether it will be “The Wendy Williams Show” is still unclear.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
