Alex said to the news outlet that Wendy Williams “didn’t seem to grasp the reality of the situation.” The outlet cited her as saying that she had some difficulty getting the message through about the cancellation of The Wendy Williams Show.
I want to really explain something to you so that you can get this. There’s no more ‘Wendy Williams Show.’ They decided to cancel it. After so many fabulous seasons, this curtain has come down.
Sadly, it took some consults with the “with the powers that be,” before it sunk in. At the time, she seemed to be very confused, and of course, that might relate to the news about her dementia diagnosis. The family would love to be there for her now, but she was allocated a guardian, so they don’t know exactly where she is.
