00:00Alright, clap if you think she should suffer.
00:03What happened to Wendy Williams that made her permanently incapacitated?
00:07The most outrageous woman in daytime television was once notorious for her shocking celebrity
00:11interviews and unfiltered public commentary, but a series of dramatic blows to her personal
00:16life have left the public figure a shell of her former self, leaving her fans worried
00:20about her fate.
00:21I can only feel now 2%.
00:24Do you see what this looks like?
00:28Is there any truth to the health concerns and messy private struggles plaguing the queen
00:31of all media?
00:32I would ask you to respect our privacy, but please, I don't respect people's privacy.
00:37That's why I do the hot topics.
00:39Wendy Williams became infamous for her long career as a radio personality and TV talk
00:42show host, who wasn't afraid to cross the line for the ratings.
00:45And you too, Mrs. Spears, death to all of them.
00:49Known for her shock jock radio broadcaster persona, and later as a daytime TV host, Williams
00:54earned a scandalous reputation for her brutal honesty, her outrageous remarks about celebrities,
00:59even getting into on-air squabbles with her A-list guests.
01:13But sadly, after 14 years on the air, The Wendy Williams Show was forced to end in 2022
01:18under mysterious circumstances involving Williams' health, financial issues, and a shocking personal
01:23betrayal that changed her life forever.
01:25In September 2017, the Daily Mail published photos of Williams' longtime husband, Kevin
01:31Hunter, hanging out with another woman in New Jersey.
01:33The UK newspaper claimed that he had purchased a home for the mystery woman just nine miles
01:38down the road from the house he shared with Williams, and that the affair had spanned
01:4110 years.
01:42The next morning, Williams said on her show that she will stand by my guy and told viewers
01:46not to believe the hype.
01:48It's some sort of weird story going around the internet regarding my husband.
01:52Who can forget the time she fainted live on air just weeks after addressing the rumors
01:56about her marriage infidelity.
02:04Williams claimed she simply overheated in her costume.
02:07Throughout 2018, Wendy shared her many ups and downs with her audience as she experienced
02:11a number of health setbacks, like a fractured shoulder, a severe flu scare, and ultimately
02:16her diagnosis with a thyroid condition called Graves' disease.
02:19Then there was a wild anonymous phone call to police stating that Williams' husband was
02:23poisoning her.
02:24That led to a tearful wellness check by local police.
02:27But fans became even more concerned when Williams simultaneously confessed to a decade-long
02:32addiction to cocaine.
02:40Things continued to get worse for Williams after slurring her speech on air during an
02:44episode in December of 2018, prompting Wendy to apologize for her less-than-stellar behavior.
02:50This coupled with more rumors of her cheating husband and confessing that she was staying
02:54at a sober living house marked a serious decline for Williams, sparking genuine concern for
02:59her future.
03:10Wendy's next few years were grim.
03:12Her show was delayed indefinitely.
03:13She filed for divorce from her husband, and she was still struggling with her health.
03:17Amid the news, Williams' bank referred to her as an incapacitated person.
03:21The talk show host's attorney filed an emergency petition, claiming Wendy's bank had denied
03:25her access to her assets.
03:32In summer 2022, The Wendy Williams Show officially ended, breaking the hearts of her loyal supporters.
03:40By now, Williams was hiding from the public eye, but a few rare appearances showed her
03:44worsening.
03:45News broke that Wendy was suffering from dementia, losing her words and acting erratically.
03:49The once loud and flashy public figure had become the total opposite, leaving her fans
03:54frightened about her fate.
03:55But there's still hope for the former queen of all media.
03:58Just spotted recently at her son's college graduation, Wendy Williams may not be the
04:02same.
04:03But for now, she's not going anywhere.
