Wendy Williams Addresses Health Concern After 'Less Than Stellar Show', Promises 'A Better Wendy In 2019'!

Wendy Williams is sorry she frightened you!
Fans and friends were once again concerned about her well-being after the Wendy host looked visibly uncomfortable and had trouble speaking on Thursday’s episode of her talk show.

Following the flood of worry, the 54-year-old took to Instagram to blame the “less than stellar show” on the pain meds she was taking for her fractured shoulder. She wrote:

“I’m on your TV screens every day wanting to spread laughter, entertainment and cheer. As I reported earlier in the week, I have a hairline fracture on my upper arm, which hurts like hell. I’ve never broken a bone or experienced a fracture in my life. In the key place where the fracture is, and trying to scurry around and do too much, I am now paying the price.”

Wendy revealed she had injured her shoulder two days ago, insisting she was “on the mend” and in no need of surgery.
But as she explained in her post, the fracture forced her to take pain medication for the first time. She continued:

“I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgement of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being. I really do ride or die for my craft and give 200 [percent].”

The TV personality also blamed the recent lackluster performances on her having Graves’ disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid.

While she had “no regrets” about doing the show on pain meds, Wendy said she appreciated fans’ “genuine concern for my wellness and care” and promised they would see “a better Wendy in 2019.” She wrote:

“I will get some much needed rest and healing over these next couple of weeks. (Yes I am definitely juicing over the next couple of weeks). Sorry again. I love you all. Happy Holidays!”

Rest up, gurl! Read her full post (below).

To My Wendy Watchers, I sincerely apologize if you feel that today's show was less than stellar. I’m on your TV screens every day wanting to spread laughter, entertainment and cheer. As I reported earlier in the week, I have a hairline fracture on my upper arm, which hurts like hell. I’ve never broken a bone or experienced a fracture in my life. In the key place where the fracture is, and trying to scurry around and do too much, I am now paying the price. I've never taken a pain medication in my life (except when I got snatched over 20 years ago) until this week. I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgement of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being. I really do ride or die for my craft and give 200%. Not to mention everyone is aware at this point about my thyroid condition (don’t cry for me Argentina). For all my fellow thyroid sufferers, you know what the deal is. And for those that don’t: I encourage you to please read up. Needless to say, whatever today's performance was with the legendary The Lox, who said such nice things, I have no regrets and I appreciate everyone’s genuine concern for my wellness and care. I promise you a better Wendy in 2019. I will get some much needed rest and healing over these next couple of weeks. (Yes I am definitely juicing over the next couple of weeks). Sorry again. I love you all. Happy Holidays!
