Wendy Williams Says She’s ‘Pretty’ 138 Pounds After Visiting Doctor

Wendy Williams gave an update on her weight as she arrived for a private dinner in New York City on Monday, in the midst of her battle with a host of medical issues, including lymphedema and Graves’ disease.

The 58-year-old former talk show host, who caused concern among fans last year when she appeared disoriented and showed off her slender body, looked happy as she arrived at the dinner with a bodyguard and spoke to photographers.

She said: ‘I went to the doctor and I weigh 138, quite a bit isn’t it?’ her as she headed to the Tuscan restaurant, Fresco By Scotto.

Wendy was dressed head to toe in designer labels for her night out, with the star dressed in a Louis Vuitton leather jacket with fringed sleeves, LV shorts and Fendi tights.

She accessorized with a lime green bag and voluminous black boots.

The talk show icon has been candid about his health struggles, including during a June 2022 TMZ Live interview where he held up his foot to demonstrate how swollen and discolored it had become as a result of his lymphedema.

During the interview, which elicited great sympathy from his fans due to his seemingly clueless behavior, he explained that he feels only “maybe 5 percent of my feet” due to his disorder.

‘Normally I would be in a wheelchair. I am not in a wheelchair. I stand up,” she said, explaining that when she stands up “all I do is look down because I don’t want to fall”.

Nearly five years ago, she passed out on air during the live Halloween episode of her daytime talk show, an incident she blamed on heat exhaustion and dehydration while wearing her Statue of Liberty costume.

In March 2019, after a hiatus from the show, he emotionally announced on air that he had been staying in a ‘sober house’.

The following month, in April 2019, she filed for divorce from her husband Kevin after he had a daughter with his mistress Sharina Hudson.

After their marriage ended, she claimed that Kevin had mistakenly confined her to rehab and that she didn’t really need to dry out.

In an interview with DJ Suss One in 2021, she said she was “locked up in rehab for something she didn’t have to do.”

Wendy, who was addicted to cocaine as a radio jock but quit before her TV days, claimed that Kevin Sr. ‘acted like I was losing my mind, going crazy, going back to whatever or , you know, on the edge.’

He claimed that in reality, rehab had just been “a quiet place to put me”, while Sharina “got bigger and bigger” as her pregnancy came to an end.

Her last two years on her daytime talk show were a turbulent time personally for Wendy, who not only went through her divorce but also the death of her mother.

He last appeared on the talk show over a year ago before going on his summer hiatus and then postponing his comeback time and time again due to his health issues.

The departure comes just weeks after Wendy said she is “happy to be here” after enduring a challenging year.

She shared the thought while taking to Instagram to announce the launch of a range of products ahead of her upcoming podcast The Wendy Williams Experience.

The post included a video showing Wendy in her mansion sitting on a gaudy sofa.

In the clip she said: ‘Hey! Happy Holidays! It is the winter season. Listen, don’t forget to check out your favorite Wendy Experience merchandise.

I don’t know what else you’re doing. I’m happy to be here and to be, well, happy to be here.’

The upcoming project will mark Wendy’s first return to media since The Wendy Williams Show ended last June.

So they were: in April 2019, she filed for divorce from her husband Kevin after he had a daughter with his mistress Sharina Hudson; Wendy and Kevin appear in 2018

Sherri Shepherd, who filled in for Wendy for the final season due to the former host’s medical issues, took over the schedule with her own show, Sherri.

It is unclear when The Wendy Williams Experience will premiere on podcast platforms.

In October, after the star left a wellness center, a representative told her MY! News“Wendy is excited for the road ahead and looks forward to launching her many projects.”

The statement continued with: “She wants to say, ‘Thank you to my fans for your love, support and many prayers, I’m back and better than ever.’
