Wendy Williams is in a vulnerable position right now. The daytime TV host and former radio shock jock revealed she’s staying in a sober house, and word is it’s because of her husband who is often accused of infidelity and alleged physical abuse.

According to Page Six, a source from the set of The Wendy Williams Show is pinning the blame on Willams’ husband Kevin Hunter.

Says the source, “No one thinks it’s the right place for Wendy. She seems so frail and vulnerable. It’s frightening just how completely under Kevin’s control Wendy is . . . But she won’t hear a word against him. Those close to her are terrified something awful is going to happen. She comes to the set looking terrible.”

Williams recently told her audience that after she tapes she is taken back to a sober house with “smelly boys” (who have become her family) where it’s lights out at 10pm. She also said she used to abuse cocaine and never really addressed the habit via rehab.

Also recently, Charlamagne Tha God, who used to work with Williams, addressed the situation on The Breakfast Club.

“Wendy Williams needs rehab from her husband, Kevin Hunter,” he said. “This is yet another lie, another half-truth, whatever you want to call it, that is deflecting from the actual issue, which is the alleged abuse and infidelity from her husband. There’s a difference between being real and being exposed. Wendy only came out with that yesterday because The Daily Mail article came out yesterday saying she was in rehab for pills and alcohol because of her husband Kevin Hunter’s alleged physical abuse and infidelity.”

Well damn.

Prayers up to Wendy Williams.

Wendy Williams made a return to her daily talk show after a two-month hiatus and dropped a big bombshell on the studio and viewing audience. Williams, 54, revealed she’s battling addiction and living in a sober house while also sharing she and her husband, Kevin Hunter, are an intact unit.

Page Six reports:

“I have been living in a sober house,” she told the audience through tears. “… You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in my past. I never went to a place to get the treatment … there are people in your family, it might be you … I want you to know more of the story.”

Williams explained that she returns to the sober facility after work and personal activities.

“After I go to the Pilates and go to several meetings all around town in the tri-state area, I see my brothers and sisters caught up in their addiction and looking for help,” she continued. “They don’t know I’m Wendy. They don’t care I’m Wendy. It’s the brothers and sisters caught up in the struggle. It’s been really interesting, this ride.”

Kudos to Wendy Williams for living her truth boldly.

Reports alleged Nick Cannon would be taking over The Wendy Williams Show but apparently that was all fake news, as the daytime host is set to make her big return to television on Monday March 4.

Wendy Williams is an incredible talent with the most unique voice in daytime,” the show’s production company, Debmar-Mercury, said in a statement on Thursday according to Page Six. “We can’t wait to welcome her back to her iconic purple chair on the set of her show.”

Their statement went on to thank all those who’d filled in while Williams was out, reportedly treating Graves’ disease. “We so appreciate all of the guest hosts and panelists who filled in for Wendy during this time,” Debmar-Mercury continued, according to the site. “These people are, and always will be, true family to the show. And we want to thank all of the loyal and supportive fans who have been with us for 10 years now.”

Separately Williams thanked the show’s producers, saying in her own statement “Salute to Debmar-Mercury for believing from the start and thanks to my staff for tirelessly holding it down for me.” Will you be tuning in on her first day back to work two weeks from now?

While Wendy Williams gets herself right physically, some of her star friends will be holding down her show. Nick Cannon will be hosting The Wendy Williams Show for a few days.

Reports Page Six:

Nick Cannon will take over the show on Feb. 4, Feb. 5 and Feb. 6. He’ll be continuing Wendy Williams‘ signature segment, “Hot Topics.”

Earlier this month, Williams’ family announced that she was still recovering from her fractured shoulder and also had to be hospitalized as a result of symptoms from her Graves’ disease.

“Despite her strong desire to return, she is taking a necessary, extended break from her show to focus on her personal and physical well-being,” the statement read.

A source told Page Six at the time, “Staff at [Williams’] show are eager to get back to work. We are all hoping she is well. The mood at the set is good … We just want Wendy to get better.”

Another host on the docket includes Rickey Smiley.

Get well soon Wendy Williams.

What’s Tea? Wendy Williams To Address Show Delays Upon Return [Video]

Wendy Williams has some explaining to do. The gossip wag has been missing in action and the streets want to know what’s really good.

According to Page Six the New Jersey native is going to set the record straight when she returns back to her popular morning show. In late 2018 Wendy seemed noticeably off her game with a slurred speech not moving from her seat. Naturally the public noticed which caused her to address the concern.

She attributed her lack of energy to the medication she is taking for her shoulder that she fractured earlier in the year. She took to her Instagram to let us know she would need to some time to fully recover in order to deliver the kind of programming her fans are accustomed to. New episodes of The Wendy Williams Show were originally set to air on January 7 but got pushed back to January 21.

But in that time rumors have started circulating that the medical leave was just a diversion to hide her marital problems at home. The streets are saying that her husband Kevin has allegedly gotten his mistress, who apparently lives down the road from the couple’s mansion, pregnant. This tea is so hot that it has prompted bloggers to do some heavy investigative work which lead to the discovery of several receipts including separate properties Kev owns where the side chick is also listed on the paperwork. Yikes.

Let’s hope Wendy can get it together.

She went on to also remind her fans about her longstanding medical condition. “Not to mention everyone is aware at this point about my thyroid condition (don’t cry for me Argentina). “For all my fellow thyroid sufferers, you know what the deal is,” she continued. “…Needless to say… I have no regrets and I appreciate everyone’s genuine concern for my wellness and care.
I promise you a better Wendy in 2019.”

This isn’t the first time the former radio host has experience health concerns during her tenure as a television personality. In 2017 she fainted during a Halloween themed episode. She attributed the scare due to lack of rest. Earlier this year she took a 3 week-week break per doctor’s orders. The Wendy Williams Show is scheduled to return to live tapings in January of 2019.

Remy Ma Hits ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ With Papoose, Talks Non-Relationship With Nicki Minaj

Last week, Remy Ma and Papoose hit up The Wendy Williams Show to promote their new reality TV special, Meet The Mackies. While there, Remy Ma delved into her non-relationship with Nicki Minaj and according to the rapper, there’s no beef.

When Williams asked Remy Ma whether or not she’d spoken to Cardi B since the rising star’s NYFW beef with Minaj, Remy ma responded “When we usually speak it’s not like a whole gossip thing, or whatever. It’s usually, always words of encouragement: ‘Girl don’t worry about that,’ ‘Girl this’ll blow over,’ ‘or You looked great in Paris,’ or ‘Congratulations on the baby”…things like that. I don’t think neither one of us really dwell on the negative stuff. So much positive things is going on in both of our lives right now, that we have way more positive than negative to talk about.”

“It’s no relationship,” Remy Ma continued when Williams asked her about her own relationship with Minaj. “I don’t harbor any ill feelings or wish bad on anybody—I don’t.”

Besides all the hip-hop beef, Papoose and Remy told their #BlackLove story. They spoke on getting married in prison, renewing their vows, and more. The longtime couple also revealed that “contrary to popular belief”, they don’t talk about rap and music with each other. Watch the clip up top to find out why.
