Wendy Williams often appeared incoherent in the months leading up to the cancellation of her talk show, and then had to be repeatedly reminded that the program had been axed, according to a new report that sheds light on her battle to stay on the air.
Why the 58-year-old host of The Wendy Williams Show didn’t return to her iconic purple chair last fall continues to haunt fans of the daytime gossip queen. Williams has cited complications from Grave’s disease and lymphedema, but the two conditions don’t fully explain her increasingly bizarre speech seen in several interviews over the past year.
“To this day, we don’t know truly what the issue is,” Lonnie Burstein, an executive at Debmar-Mercury, the production company behind The Wendy Williams Show, told The Hollywood Reporter.
