The Wendy Show continues, but without the host, Wendy Williams.
People reports a source close to the situation said Wendy could return in the fall, depending on how her health goes over the summer. According to the outlet, the source said,
“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 addressed rumors of drug use and said,
“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.”
Earlier this week, TMZ reported Sherri Shepherd will be the show’s “permanent guest host.” Last year when she hosted, the show received its highest ratings all season.
