Wendy Williams Explains Her Extended Hiatus From Talk Show

Wendy Williams finally returned to her talk show on Monday (March 4) after an extended hiatus for her health, and during her big return, she explained everything.

“Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I hit the block today,” she said. “What had happened was we were only supposed to be off two weeks for Christmas vacation. At the end of those weeks, I started to feel thyroid-ish. Well, they’re still adjusted my meds. If you don’t know about thyroid disease, it’s a life long thing and they are always adjusting stuff. It can really screw you over.”

“I can’t even tell you how many doctors I have, but I want to shout out each and everyone of you. Thank you so much,” Wendy added.

She continued, mentioning her husband Kevin Hunter was by her side. She said, “We’re spending time as a family, the Hunters. You know, I’m Wendy Hunter. I just wanted to take some time for myself. I am my own best friend. You know that, I’ve told you that forever. When you get into yourself, you are your own best friend. So I’m at home, I’m taking my thyroid meds, I am meditating. Oh, believe me you, I’m going to the gym seven days a week for two hours a day … I’m sorry it took me 40 or 50 days. I know it’s been a long time. I’m sorry! I have to say, it’s not going to happen anymore and I feel good!”

Wendy began her hiatus in December.
