Wendy Williams, the former talk show host, is reportedly jeopardizing her health by consuming alcohol, and sources express concern that she may not survive the year if she continues down this path, according to The National ENQUIRER, citing sources. The 58-year-old has been seen indulging in heavy partying in New York City, raising alarms among those close to her.
Williams was spotted on St. Patrick's Day starting her celebrations at Fresco by Scotto and concluding at The Townhouse, a gay bar. An insider claimed, "She was overheard saying she wanted to get drunk, which is the opposite of what she should be doing!"
This incident occurred just six months after Williams completed rehab for substance abuse issues, following her departure from her talk show last year. In addition to her struggles with addiction, the former radio personality has battled Graves' disease and hyperthyroidism. In September, she was admitted to a New York City hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.
The insider emphasized the severity of the situation, saying, "All the pills and all the drinking have taken a physical toll and she needs to stop. She's partying herself to a certain grave — especially if she's mixing alcohol with meds."
Dr. Gabe Mirkin, a Florida-based physician who has not treated Williams, told The National ENQUIRER, "If Wendy keeps on drinking, alcohol will further damage her already damaged thyroid gland to shorten her life. Both alcohol and low thyroid can cause bizarre behavior!"
Friends and loved ones of Williams are undoubtedly worried about her well-being, and it remains to be seen if she will heed their warnings and prioritize her health.
