Wendy Williams Provides An Update on Her Condition to Worried Fans (WATCH)

*In October 2017, Wendy Williams suddenly collapsed on live TV. After a brief commercial break, she returned and said it “was not a stunt. I’m overheated in my costume and I did pass out. But you know what? I’m a champ and I’m back.”

Well, on Tuesday (02-13-18) it was kinda like déjà vu all over again for the TV host who had another medical episode while taping the show. But this time she decided to take the rest off as a precaution. And in case you’re wondering, she says it ain’t the flu.

“Its not the flu yet, but I feel flu-ish,” she said in an Instagram video on Wednesday.  “It’s not a five on a scale of one to five, it’s not even a four” (scroll down to see it below).

In the IG video, the 53-old ex-radio DJ was seen looking rather comfortable in a robe and head wrap. Between sniffles and sips of whatever she was sippin’ on, she let her followers know that she’s heading to the doctor soon to get a diagnosis.

A spokesperson for “The Wendy Williams Show” said on Wednesday morning that Williams was “experiencing flu-like symptoms,” and had decided to take the rest of the week off. Reruns are airing in place of live shows.

“I feel awful, I had to be talked out of going into work today, and taking off a few days to get myself together,” said Williams, calling herself a “thoroughbred” and referring to her days on the radio when she refused to take a sick day.

“I took the proper vacation time, but take off sick? What? No, never.”

An outpouring of support flooded in the comments of Williams’ video, while some fans were concerned for her health.

*After appearing to nearly faint again on live television Wednesday (Feb. 14), Wendy Williams has cancelled tapings of her talk show for the rest of this week. Page Six is reporting that she’s caught the flu bug.

“Wendy is still experiencing flu-like symptoms, and so she can rest up and get better, we have decided to cancel tapings the rest of the week,” a spokesperson for the show told Page Six on Wednesday morning.

Reruns of “The Wendy Williams Show” will air on Wednesday through Friday.

The cancellations follows Wendy’s recent on-air scare. During her Halloween episode in 2017, she fainted during a live segment. After a brief commercial break, she returned and said it “was not a stunt. I’m overheated in my costume and I did pass out. But you know what? I’m a champ and I’m back.”

On Tuesday’s broadcast, Wendy looked on the verge of passing out again. Cameras cut away as she appeared to begin teetering.
