Wendy Williams Apologizes To Fans For Slurring Her Words, Blames Painkillers
Our friend Wendy Williams apologized to viewers in a lengthy Instagram for slurring her words while introducing the rap group The Lox on her show yesterday, saying that painkillers are to blame.
“I sincerely apologize if you feel that today’s show was less than stellar. I’m on your TV screens every day wanting to spread laughter, entertainment and cheer. As I reported earlier in the week, I have a hairline fracture on my upper arm, which hurts like hell,” she wrote.
“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. I’ve never taken a 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 judgement of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being. I really do ride or die for my craft and give 200%.”
The beloved host also said her battle with Graves’ disease, which affects her thyroid, has been weighing on her as well.
