The talk show host, who recently revealed she’s canceled all promotional events for her hit show to deal with ‘ongoing health issues’ is reportedly struggling with ‘loneliness’
‘It has been a very difficult time for Wendy,’ a source told Page Six. ‘She’s a single woman with very few friends. She lost her marriage, her mom, and is living alone.’

Williams was spotted looking unwell in NYC last Friday
The star has since revealed that she has tested positive for COVID-19
On Wednesday, Williams revealed that she has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19 and that she would be continuing health evaluations in order to allow her time to quarantine and recover.
Her COVID-19 diagnosis led to the new season of her hit show ‘Wendy Williams Show’ to be postponed from September 20 to October 4.
The COVID-19 diagnosis came a few days after she was spotted looking frail and dressed in a robe and blue socks as she was led into her Manhattan apartment building.
Exclusive DailyMail.com photos from last Friday showed the TV host stepping out of a black SUV wearing a gold and cream robe and what look to be hospital socks as she walked on the wet New York City pavement.
Wendy, 57, wore a black mask as she was led by hand from the car to her home by her manager Bernie Young. Her son Kevin Hunter Jr, 21, was also seen entering her building behind a wheelchair and later caught an Uber to leave the home.
