The statement read, "It’s been a challenging time for Wendy as she deals with her health issues. She is incredibly grateful to Debmar-Mercury, to Sherri and everybody else who has supported the show through this time.

"Mr Bragman, although I appreciate your concerns and respect you immensely I have not authorized you to make any statements on my behalf regarding my current status with Debar Mercury.."Read the full statement below.https://www.instagram.com/p/CaS9KTovORT/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
