Is Wendy Williams‘ bank account drying up? One tabloid claims her weeks-long absence from her talk show is causing serious financial repercussions for the host. Let’s check in on the TV personality.
This week, the National Enquirer reports Wendy Williams will be financially crippled if her show is canceled. According to the tabloid, Williams’ finances have already been irrevocably damaged by all the time she’s been taking off.

Williams has been on medical leave from her talk show for weeks now, racking up a backlog of expenses with no income from her show insight. And if she does ever return, she’s going to have to change the way she spends, an inside source says.
“Her cost of living is astronomical,” the insider explains. “Her medical bills are running into hundreds of thousands, her staff is still on full pay, and she’s had to dig deep into her pocket to fund private nurses and extra bodyguards.”

Add on multiple mortgages and regular spousal support payments to her ex-husband, she can’t go on like this without a major boost to her bank account. “If she pulls through this nightmare, the first thing she needs to do is downsize her entire life,” the tipster warns. “She’ll be lucky if there’s anything left once the debts are paid!”
And after weeks of physical and psychological evaluation, there still hasn’t been a word as to when she’s going back to work. “No one on her team wants to admit they have no idea when or if she’ll be back,” the source admits. “She needs to downsize her team NOW!”

While medical care certainly isn’t cheap, we doubt Williams has any reason to sweat it. First of all, her show isn’t on the “fast track to cancellation.” After weeks of airing reruns, the show’s ratings skyrocketed when the show returned with a line-up of all-star guest hosts.
As of right now, Williams’ show is doing better right now than it was this time last year. If the numbers stay where they are, Williams’ show will be more than safe. And of course, she’s still going to see profits from her own show, whether she’s hosting it or not.

Besides, the tabloid didn’t even bother mentioning what exactly is ailing Williams. After contracting a breakthrough case of COVID-19, Williams began experiencing complications as a result of her Graves’ Disease and thyroid condition.
But her show recently announced on Instagram that she will return once she’s well enough. “As soon as she’s ready, she will be back in her treasured purple chair,” the announcement read.
The National Enquirer is the last place fans should look for updates on Wendy Williams. Earlier this year, the tabloid claimed producers were “scrambling” to replace Williams. Then the outlet published a bizarre report claiming Williams’ friends were urging her to wear a diaper.
