“The spark is gone. That Wendy, who for ten years had that spark in her eyes, that cheeky grin and that little wink is not the same now.”
“She’s not always functioning like she used to be. She has days where she needs help eating, getting out of bed and getting dressed," they continued.
The source added that doesn't always recognize people she has known for years.
Wendy has been showing improvement, especially in her latest video, as she was not seen in a wheelchair.
“She looks good! She isn’t fully back, but she seems like 80% of her old self. In another couple of months, and I bet she's totally back," an insider said.
“Wendy has vowed not to drink and she is eating much healthier these days and it shows, her legs aren’t nearly as swollen," the added.
The source said not only that, but Wendy is wheelchair free.
Wendy has not appeared on her show since July 2021.
