The daytime television host has stirred concern for her health among fans who encouraged her to get help following an episode of the quarantine edition of her talk show The Wendy Williams Show uploaded to Instagram. 

In the episode in question, Wendy discussed the relationship drama between Reginae Carter, the 21-year-old eldest daughter of Lil Wayne and Toya Johnson, and ex-boyfriend 29-year-old Atlanta rapper YFN Lucci. YFN Lucci has multiple children and, Williams expressed her disapproval of the relationship. 

While interesting, fans of the show were more concerned about the host’s appearance in the video. Fans noticed Wendy appeared exhausted in the taping, and this, in addition to the 55-year old’s known battle with cocaine addiction had fans on high alert, who left comments like: 

“Wendy seems depressed. Drunk or on Xanax.”

“Are you good? I’m worried about you. Are you spiraling? Please get some help now.”

“The energy is LOW today.”

“Wendy look like this cause when u in everybody business but your own..makes u miserable.”

Williams also separated from her allegedly abusive husband Kevin Hunter last year. 

Wendy is infamous for sharing her honest opinion, making headlines just last week after suggesting on her talk show that rapper Future get a vasectomy after his eighth child with an eighth woman was confirmed.

Wendy Williams thanked her new superfan, fellow television host John Oliver, for giving her a loving shoutout on his show with an odd array of gifts: Doritos, car, and a self-portrait of her eating lamb chops. Last week, the political commentator praised Wendy’s at-home edition of her talk show on an episode of his HBO comedy series, Last Week Tonight.

“Wendy Williams has ascended to a level of f*cks not given that no human has ever achieved before,” he declared. “I’ll be honest, I was never a regular viewer of The Wendy Williams Show but I’ve become a big fan of Wendy At Home. It’s an oasis of truth in a world full of lies. It’s a real pickle on top of a fake hamburger, if you will.” Wendy appreciated the shoutout so much, that she invited him to be a virtual guest on her show on Tuesday (April 29th), where it was revealed that she had sent him some strange “thank you” gifts.

John put the painting of Wendy, in which it looks like she’s “about to go to town on a lamb chop” as he phrased it, on display during their video chat. Along with the portrait, he also received some Doritos and car, a combo he’s hesitant to try. “I don’t like either of these foods separately, so I’m not sure how I will like them together,” he admitted before sampling the dish. “Wow, it’s a lot.” he said after the first bite.  “It’s not just one flavour, Wendy, it’s almost all of the flavour.” Watch the full unexpected interaction below:

One of Flavor Flav’s baby mothers, Kate Gammell, fired back at Wendy Williams‘ accusations that the Flavor Flav merch she’s been selling to help take care of their son is not authentic. Earlier this week, Kate, who is the mother of Flav’s nine-month-old baby, Jordan, announced that she’ll be selling T-shirts, hats, and various other items with Flav’s name on them in order to cover the cost of her son’s “everyday needs” since she is “not getting any child support.” Kate filed a paternity lawsuit against Flav back in October and had a DNA test to determine if he was in fact Jordan’s father, which came back positive. However, since Flav hasn’t been supporting her financially, she decided to sell his merch that she acquired back when she was his manager.

Wendy Williams addressed the situation on her at-home edition of The Wendy Williams Show on Thursday (April 9th). Wendy asserted that the merchandise was not authentic and claimed that Kate was “taking advantage of someone who was less smart at the time.” 

Kate proceeded to call out Wendy on Instagram for lying about her on her show. She disputed Wendy’s remarks and explained why she’s selling the merch at a discounted rate and where all the proceeds will be going.

“@wendyshow, on today’s show you brought up that the Flavor Flav merchandise I am selling is not authentic,” Kate wrote. “I have no idea where you came up with this. Flavor was very much involved in the choice of the colors and designs. See the above screenshot posts from @flavorflavoffical where he is promoting the merchandise. The merch was produced and is now being sold under a licensing agreement between Flavor and me. Under the agreement, he is to receive a percentage of sales, but because he owes me money, to reduce his debt to me, I am withholding his share which will go to Jordan with a percentage to Children’s Hospital.”

“I am selling the merch at a reduced price because of the country’s current crisis and many people are out of work,” she continued. “Another reason is that I need to recoup some of my costs for Jordan’s care since I am not receiving child support. I will not even break even for the money I put into his merch as some of the hoodies cost almost $30 wholesale. I just hope now that your comments do not sabotage my efforts to provide for my son and give to Children’s Hospital.”

“Also, regarding Jordan, @wendyshow you said I took advantage of Flavor ‘who was less than smart at the time.’ Where on earth did you come up with that?” she asked. “Flavor is very aware of everything he does. Anyone that knows Flavor and me would find this to be absurd. You should have mentioned, as @hiphopdx reported, that Flavor owes me $50,000, which he refuses to pay and that he is fighting having to pay child support. So, who is taking advantage of who? So, @wendyshow, I am just trying to provide for my son where his father refuses to step up to the plate.”

Wendy Williams seems to think Common is bad news for any prospective love interests, including his rumoured girlfriend, Tiffany Haddish. The controversial daytime talk show host has returned to broadcasting The Wendy Williams Show from home, and she’s making sure to keep up with her Hot Topics segment. On Wednesday’s episode of “Wendy @ Home,” the host delved into Tiffany Haddish and Common’s rumoured relationship. The two of them appear to be quarantining together after he was seen on her Instagram live with Cedric the Entertainer this week. While Tiffany’s denied any romantic affiliation in the past, claiming the two are just “friends,” speculation has been rising, so it was only right that Wendy addressed these rumours during Hot Topics.

“I like Tiffany Haddish and Common, only because she’s been lusting after him for so long,” Wendy said. “So it appears that they might be quarantining together.” She goes on to explain how the public “found out” that the two of them might be isolating together, noting that it doesn’t necessarily proved that they’re dating. “Maybe she’s working on music [with him],” Wendy pondered. “She’s into that music thing. She’s gonna put out a new single and all like that.” However, Wendy herself believes that something more than friendship is going on. “Are they quarantined together? I believe, yes,” she said. “You know, she talked real girl-talk about what she’d do to him. So I guess it’s going down.”

However, Wendy goes on to issue a warning to Tiffany about Common, telling her not to get too attached because of his unfavourable romantic history. “Tiffany, the thing is, don’t fall too hard in love,” she declared. “Common is not good with women. That’s all I’m saying. He keeps you, until he’s done with you.” Wendy proceeds to go through Common’s past relationships, before deciding that he’s simply bad news.

Wendy Williams announced that her daytime talk show will resume filming soon, but will instead be taped from her home rather than the studio due to social distancing measures implemented as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. As the spread of COVID-19 has caused productions all across the United States to shut down, many talk show hosts have taken to shooting their programs from the comfort of their own homes, in an effort to continue practicing social distancing while keeping up appearances. Initially, prior to the escalation of the pandemic, talk shows were taping without studio audiences, including The Wendy Williams Show. However, after admitting that she was willing to “risk it” in order to continue filming in the studio, Wendy’s show was postponed indefinitely last month. Now, Wendy has shared that she will resume filming her show from home in New York City.

“I may not be in my purple chair,” Wendy said in a statement, “and it may not look the same, but I’m very excited to get back to my Wendy Watchers…there’s so much uncertainty in all of our worlds right now and we need each other!” New episodes will begin airing on Monday, April 6th, with combined footage of Wendy’s at-home segments as well as some unused clips from before the show stopped production.

Anyone who is a guest on Wendy Williams‘ self-titled talk show should expect to be grilled on any given topic that will bring in hits and clicks. Since Victor Cruz was the latest guest on the show, he, of course, got asked multiple questions on his long-standing relationship with Karrueche and what their future may look like. On the topic of marriage and if it’s something he’d want with Karrueche, his answer was “absolutely, absolutely.”

When it comes to kids, Victor was sure to debunk past reports that his partner is expecting but he did detail how it’s something he would like in the future. “I do [want more kids],” Victor said. “I want my little boy, I need my football player.” The former NFL player already has an eight-year-old daughter with his ex. 

As for how he and Karrueche met, it was through mutual friends. “And, we had always kind of been friends,” he explained. “I would always see her around and we would always have a conversation. As I got reintroduced to her through a mutual friend, I was like, ‘Man, I gotta take a shot at this. If I want her to be my girl, if I want to take her seriously, I gotta take a shot.’”
