A second source speaking to The Sun adds that Wendy Williams’ family is well aware of her being hospitalized. The family, however, doesn’t have all the details right now about what happened to her or why she’s been hospitalized.

“All I know is she is in the hospital right now, and it’s not rehab. I don’t know which hospital except that she’s definitely in New York.”

Both sources speaking to The Sun wanted it to be abundantly clear that Wendy Williams was at an actual husband and not some sort of rehab facility. They, however, were a bit cagey with any additional details including what happened.

The first insider, however, did confirm the concerns for Wendy’s wellbeing were real as the talk show host wasn’t sure if she would make it back out of the hospital.
