Wendy Williams is addressing an incident that occurred on air.
After slurring her words during Thursday’s taping of The Wendy Williams Show, the 54-year-old television personality took to Instagram that evening to apologize for her performance.
“To My Wendy Watchers, I sincerely apologize if you feel that today’s show was less than stellar,” she wrote. “I’m on your TV screens every day wanting to spread laughter, entertainment and cheer.”

The mom-of-one then addressed her recent hairline fracture, stating: “As I reported earlier in the week, I have a hairline fracture on my upper arm, which hurts like hell. I’ve never broken a bone or experienced a fracture in my life. In the key place where the fracture is, and trying to scurry around and do too much, I am now paying the price.”
Williams decided to take pain medication before Thursday’s show, despite the “better judgment” of her co-workers.
“I’ve never taken pain medication in my life (except when I got snatched over 20 years ago) until this week,” she added. “I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgment of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being.”
After thanking supporters for their “genuine concern,” the former radio personality promised a “better Wendy in 2019.”
Unfortunately for the New Jersey native, her health has suffered in recent years.
After fainting during an October 2017 taping, the outspoken host revealed that she’s battling Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism.
On doctor’s advice, Williams decided to put her show on hiatus for three weeks. The leave of absence started on Feb. 22 and ended on March 19.
