Wendy Williams’ brother shares rare photo of troubled host & insists she’s ‘pushing through fog’ after show is canceled
WENDY Williams’ brother has shared a rare photo of the troubled host as he insisted she is “pushing through fog” after her show was canceled.
Wendy’s younger brother Tommy Williams, 54, posted a photo with the famous host and a slew of other close family members in Florida along with a lengthy caption updating her fans on her condition.
The photo shows Wendy’s father, her niece, her sister Wanda, her son Kevin Jr, her brother Tommy, and her nephew along with some other family members as well, with a smiling Wendy in the center.
As The Sun previously revealed her son Kevin Jr, 21, has power of attorney over the TV personality.
Tommy captioned the snap which was shared to a private Wendy Williams Facebook fan group, writing: “I’m encouraging everyone to remain faithful that our girl Wendy will pull through this fog, push through the clouds into the light!”
Wendy's younger brother added that while his sister is “recovering and strengthening daily,” he hasn’t been posting as much lately.
He said: “I’ve been away from my platform for a while as we circle the wagons and deal with the reality that family needs me. There is no script, views or ratings attached to genuine support."
"You all have exemplified support for my family and we are truly grateful,” he added before encouraging people to subscribe to his for more updates on his sister’s progress.

WHERE'S WENDY?
Wendy, 57, has not appeared on her show since July 2021, and the series has been hosted by a rotating cast of celebrity guests including Sherri Shepherd, who is now set to take over.
Wendy continues to battle health issues, which kicked off when The Sun exclusively reported she was rushed to the hospital for "psychiatric services."
Ever since then, sources have said the once witty, sharp host isn't the same as she used to be as she deals with multiple medical problems, including addiction, Graves' disease, and Covid.
An insider previously told The Sun Wendy doesn’t always recognize people whom she’s known for years.
“There are people who Wendy knows, who have worked closely with her, and there are days that she has no idea who they are."
'DISRESPECTED'
As for Sherri taking over, Wendy is said to feel "disrespected" about the decision.
An insider told the Sun exclusively: "Sherri’s show was announced on The Wendy Williams Show, with Wendy's audience and with all of her followers.
"Wendy has 2.6million subscribers on her YouTube alone. That’s Wendy’s YouTube! She built that following, not Sherri, not the production company."
The source added: “It was bad enough they canceled her show and gave Sherri her own daytime talk show which is set to take over Wendy’s time slot. It was a total slap in the face for it to be announced on Wendy’s show and her platforms."
