It has been revealed that Wendy Williams‘s mental health took a sad turn that led to a disturbing incident at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Sources, who spoke to The Sun, explained that in May 2020, as the world was grappling with the new and odd reality created by the novel virus, Williams turned the screw once more.
Like millions of people, Wendy Williams was forced to go into lockdown to protect herself from the deadly COVID-19 virus that was ravaging the planet.
At that time, Williams was still reeling from the humiliating split from her husband, Kevin Hunter, who cheated on her for many years while using her money to build a second lavish life with another woman.
She was also filming and hosting her successful program, The Wendy Williams Show, from home.
According to the British media outlet, the 57-year-old Wendy Williams had a small TV crew at her $4 million New York City penthouse to tape the daily episodes.
In May 2020, the TV personality hit a rough patch. The people familiar with the situation said that Williams appeared unwell and confused during a Zoom call.
Staff members, who were concerned over the former radio show host’s bizarre behavior, called her manager and explained the situation.
When Williams’s manager, along with a handful of confidants, arrived at her apartment things went from bad to worse.
Williams, who was intoxicated and struggling to be herself, stripped naked and started touching herself in a sexual manner.
Williams also made a series of vulgar comments to the small group of people who came to see her because they were worried about her well-being.
Despite being in a state of shock because of Williams’s disturbing action, the manager rapidly called healthcare workers to intervene.
When the medical personnel arrived at the home, Williams became angrier and lashed out. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she would remain for weeks.
Wendy Williams’s mental breakdown was kept secret, and her team released a statement claiming that she was dealing with health issues related to Graves’ disease complications.
The following statement was released: “Recently, Wendy has been dealing with symptoms from her Graves’ disease, which is causing fatigue.”
One source told The Sun that “Williams does not want to associate with anybody who was there that day. Everyone knows not to get too close to Wendy.”
Another insider added: “It will backfire, and when it does, you’ll get burned.”
The daytime presenter has been on a long hiatus from the show because of health issues.
Her family has denied the rumors claiming that Williams was showing early signs of dementia and was wheelchair-bound.
