Wendy Williams clings to son Kevin Jr, 21, in NYC as guest host Sherri Shepherd leaves show due to emergency surgery
AILING Wendy Williams CLUNG onto her son, Kevin Jr, while out in NYC this week.
Wendy, 57, has still not announced if she will return to The Wendy Williams Show. This week's guest host Sherri Shepherd is out for the count too after undergoing emergency surgery for appendicitis.
In the images, Wendy can be seen holding onto son Kevin Jr while making her way down a Manhattan street.
Wendy sported fluffy fur boots and a sold out Adidas Ivy Park faux fur coat.
Her mood seemed positive as she chatted with her son, whom she shares with ex husband Kevin Hunter.
A source told The Sun that production will announce early next year that Wendy is permanently leaving her purple chair after suffering from serious health issues.
After telling the gasp-filled audience that Sherri was hospitalized and underwent emergency surgery for appendicitis, he added: "She's feeling fine today and she is resting."
"He is doing a great job," one Instagram user commented on Michael's bedside manner.
A slew of guest hosts have been slated to fill in for the ailing Wendy - from Fat Joe to Remi Ma - but Sherri was rumored to be a shoo-in. A source told The Sun that the job is “Sherri’s to lose. She is the number one choice.”
Among all of the guest-hosted episodes, The View alum earned the show’s highest ratings this season.
A chipper Sherri addressed fans from her hospital bed in an Instagram video on Monday. "So they removed my appendix. And I just found my wig. ... I went into surgery with the wig, I came out bald-headed looking like Ludacris."
WENDY'S WELLNESS
Back in September, The Sun was first to report that police received a 911 call from Wendy’s Manhattan building at 8 am about a “57-year-old female in need of psychiatric services.”
The Sun later reported that the TV personality had been “struggling with addiction” leading up to her hospitalization.
“Wendy was drinking every day, even while filming the show,” an insider previously revealed to The Sun, as she continues to battle health complications related to her Graves Disease as well contracting COVID-19.

As the star's health complications continued, the popular program was postponed from its original return date of September 20.
It eventually aired with a rotating cast of guest hosts and it seems to unfortunately still be doing just that.
