Wendy Williams is, allegedly, struggling with her sobriety. After checking herself into a rehab facility in 2019, the talk show host, allegedly, relapsed.
According to Globe, the family and friends of Wendy Williams are worried about her. After all, she still drinks to this day.

“Wendy drinks daily and the only time she was sober was when she was at the sober house in 2019. Her staffers are worried, but no one is ever going to speak up because they don’t want to lose their jobs. They see it. They know it. They smelled the liquor. No one can tell her ‘no,’” the source said.
The source also said that Williams is at risk of losing her talk show if she doesn’t get her act together as soon as possible.

Just recently, Williams tested positive for COVID-19. Shortly after, reports swirled that she rushed to a facility following a meltdown.
Now, Page Six is claiming that Williams could be replaced by Nick Cannon as the host of the Wendy Williams Show. However, it’s unclear when the new season of the talk show will commence because it has been delayed time and again.
“The executives have been talking. They are keeping a close eye on [Williams’] recovery and hoping for the best. But they have pushed back [her] show premiere several times so they are already thinking of a backup plan.

It would not be a far stretch for Nick to take her time slot… Debmar-Mercury [which produces both Williams’s show and Cannon’s talk show] is really pushing to make Nick Cannon’s show a huge success. He already has a major platform, and a huge fanbase, so it is an easy win. So, if Wendy’s show ends up being a no-go, their backup plan is already set,” the source told Page Six.
As of late, it’s still unclear whether Cannon would temporarily replace Williams on her talk show until she gets better. But it’s for certain that those around Williams want her to focus on her health so that she can recover fully.
