Wendy Williams Takes 3 Weeks Off, Due To Thyroid Issues & Graves Disease
Our girl Wendy Williams has announced she’s taking three weeks off the show to focus on her hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease.
“Graves’ disease squeezes the muscles behind the eyeballs,” she explained, adding that it has made her eyeballs twitch. “My doctor has prescribed — are you ready? — as of today, three weeks of vacation. What? Who are you? I was pissed.”
She added, “I’ll be back in two. I’m not an heiress — who is going to pay my bills? Are you serious? I’m just saying, I come from working class… What I want to say to women, more than men, is stop putting everyone first because if we’re not good, they’re not good.”
Wendy canceled several shows last week because she was experiencing “flu-ish” symptoms, she said in an Instagram post last Wednesday. “I do go to the doctors today to find out what exactly it is,” she explained. “I feel awful. I had to be talked out of going to work today and taking off a few days to get myself together.”
