Wendy Williams back in REHAB: TV star in facility to ‘take some time to focus on her health’

Wendy Williams has gone back into rehab to ‘take some time to focus on her health and wellness’ her publicist confirmed Wednesday. 

A source told Page Six that the 58-year-old’s substance issues have ‘gotten worse,’ as ‘she went from [drinking] wine to straight up vodka.’

It was not clear where the TV personality was seeking help, as she has past been in treatment at locations in New York and Florida.  

Williams’ publicist Shawn Zanotti told told The U.S. Sun that she checked into a ‘wellness facility’ in an effort to ‘manage her overall health issues.’  

Sources told Page Six that the production company for her one-time series, Debmar-Mercury, ‘refused’ to assist in the effort to get Williams help amid her issues.

‘They turned their backs on her,’ the source said. ‘They had too much control over someone so vulnerable.’

Williams’ ex-husband Kevin Hunter told the outlet this past July that ‘Debmar would not support Wendy’s recovery efforts with the family,’ as ‘they would not sign off on anything that would’ve helped her recovery efforts.’
