Original Story: Wendy Williams is speaking out for the first time, sharing her unexplained extended departure from the ‘Wendy Williams Show’. When asked if she took a break from the show or if she agreed to leave or if it was a ‘take-over’, she responds:

“Somebody stopped giving me my money. Somebody stopped giving me my American Express. I have no money.”

She also admits that she misses doing the show, but notes that they’ve already put people in place to fill in for her amidst her absence. When asked if she’s returning, Wendy says:

“I’m coming back to the Wendy Williams Show”. Absolutely.”

For the first time, the talk show host also comments on Sherri Shepherd seemingly replacing her. She says,

“I like her but, I won’t be watching her. I know what she’s going to be doing and that’s really not my thing….You know what I’m saying? Anyway.”

As previously reported, in 2021, Wendy took an indefinite leave of absence from the show due to various medical issues, with the show being hosted by a variety of guest hosts since the beginning of its 13th season in October 2021 (which itself was delayed from September due to a COVID-19 infection).
