The Latest On What's Really Going On With Wendy Williams' Health Issues

Earlier this month, Wendy Williams had to postpone multiple appearances to promote the 13th season of "The Wendy Williams Show," eventually postponing the premiere of the new season from September 20 to October 4. Williams postponed the premiere of her talk show at that time after testing positive for COVID-19 and experiencing other health issues, per Page Six. According to The Sun, Williams was also admitted to a hospital for a psychological evaluation just a week after postponing the premiere of her talk show. Earlier this week, Williams announced that she would be returning to host her daytime talk show on October 4.

However, on Thursday morning, Williams' team announced that she would not be returning to host her show on October 4. "Wendy will not be returning with new shows on Oct. 4," Williams' team wrote on the Instagram page for "The Wendy Williams Show." "She has been and continues to be under a doctor's care and is still not ready to return to work. We plan to return with new shows on Oct. 18. Her breakthrough covid case is no longer an issue and she has tested negative, but she is still dealing with some ongoing medical issues." As Page Six reported, Williams will be hosting the show upon its return on October 18.
