Wendy Williams admits she abused drugs on her talk show. |
On today's Wendy Williams show, the host announced she is living in a sober house after she admitted that she has been addicted to alcohol and cocaine.
“You know me for being a very open and honest person. You know Kevin and I have the Hunter Foundation for the good of the people and we recently launched out 888-HUNTER number for people who are in the struggle of addiction. Well, for some time now, and even today and beyond, I have been living in a sober house,” a weeping Williams, 54, told her studio audience.
"When you see me come to work glammed up, right after the show, I do Pilates ... You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in the past," she said. "I never went to a place to get treatment. I don't know how. God was just sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped … there are people in your family, it might be you … I want you to know more of the story.”
Fox News reports that Williams revealed that she goes to the facility after work and personal obligations daily and still lives a "glamorous" life despite her struggles.
“After I go to the Pilates I go to several meetings all around town in the tri-state area, and I see my brothers and sisters caught up in their addiction and looking for help,” she said. “They don’t know I’m Wendy. They don’t care I’m Wendy. there's no autographs, there's no nothing. It’s the brothers and sisters caught up in the struggle. It’s been really interesting, this ride.”
She continued, “Only Kevin [Hunter, Sr., her husband] and Kevin [Jr., her son] know about this. And that is my truth."
Williams revealed that she kept her struggle a secret from the rest of her family and friends.
Williams had been absent from her show for the bulk of early 2019. She initially cited complications from Graves' disease for her hiatus.
Williams who is controversially known for her gossip and agitating admits that she is human.
The world is coming to grips. At least she admits that she's imperfect. She isn't hiding behind lies.
Lori Loughlin has hit rock bottom. I haven't declared she is a washed up celebrity yet. But her career is in the toilet. Hallmark cut her from the series When The Heart Calls. They plan on restructuring the series and wiping her existence after the episodes conclude.
She was also let go from Warner Bros and Netflix's Fuller House. The scandal plaguing her, Olivia Jade and Felicity Huffman has become a flashpoint. White privilege is still around and this college enrollment scandal has open wounds that may never heel.
