Wendy Williams Hospitalized, Takes Extended Hiatus from Talk Show; Maury Offers DNA Test

Talk-show host/actress Wendy Williams is 54

*Wendy Williams is taking an extended break from her daytime talk show, as she’s now been hospitalized for complications stemming from her Graves’ Disease, per Page Six.

“As Wendy Williams Hunter previously shared, she fractured her shoulder and has been on the mend. Over the past few days, Wendy has experienced complications regarding her Graves’ Disease that will require treatment. Wendy will be under the strict supervision of her physicians, and as part of her care, there will be significant time spent in the hospital,” a statement from the Williams/Hunter family read. “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.”

“Wendy thanks everyone in advance for their well-wishes and for respecting her and The Hunter Family’s privacy during this time.”

“The Wendy Williams Show” will air repeat episodes the week of Jan. 21 and original episodes with rotating guest hosts will air starting the week of Jan. 28, according to distributor and producer Debmar-Mercury.

“For over ten years, Wendy has been a vital part of the Debmar-Mercury family,” the company said in a statement. “We wholeheartedly support Wendy in this decision to take the time she needs and we will welcome her back with open arms the moment she is ready.”

The 54-year-old ailing media personality fractured her shoulder in December and then slurred her words on-air. She apologized to viewers and blamed the painkillers she was taking. Since then, Williams has delayed her return to the show.

Her lengthy departure has fans wondering if she’s really receiving medical treatment or if she’s in drug/alcohol rehab. There’s also speculation that she’s going through it with her husband Kevin Hunter following a report that his side chick is expecting his child.

Meanwhile, Maury Povich has offered Wendy a DNA test to clear up her marital drama once and for all. In a since-deleted Facebook post, he wrote, “Wendy… sounds like you need a DNA and Lie Detector Test! Let me help you find the truth!”

As previously reported, Wendy sent a cease and desist to the original source of the pregnant mistress story.
