Wendy Williams<\/a><\/strong> is taking a much-needed break.<\/p>\n

Unlike most of Hollywood, which has been shut down for the past couple of months due to the ongoing Coronavirus<\/a><\/strong> pandemic, the 55-year-old star has been working hard and recording new episodes for her talk show.<\/p>\n

Of course, she’s been filming at-home and sharing the hot topics virtually. However, the daytime talk show host will soon be taking some time off.<\/p>\n

On Monday, it was revealed The Wendy Williams Show<\/em> will go on hiatus due to Wendy suffering from health issues related to her Graves’ disease<\/a>. She was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease back in 2018.<\/p>\n

“Recently, Wendy has been dealing with symptoms from her Graves’ disease which is causing fatigue. In consultation with her doctor and as a precautionary measure, she will be taking some time off as she continues to receive treatment,” a spokesperson for the show said in a statement that was shared with E! News.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“We look forward to welcoming Wendy back soon and continuing the Wendy@Home shows,” the statement continued. “More updates on a return date will follow.”<\/p>\n

Variety<\/a><\/em>, who broke the news, reported the hiatus is set to last through at least this week. However, it’s unclear if that will be pushed for a longer period.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Back in Feb. 2018, Wendy took time off from filming her show due to her Graves’ disease. She said her doctor prescribed her a three-week break to focus on the autoimmune disease and her hyperthyroidism.<\/p>\n

She told her viewers that while she had been battling a thyroid condition for years, her thyroid was acting “totally cattywampus.” In fact, she said her viewers helped bring Graves’ disease to her attention.<\/p>\n

“You caught it before I did,” she told her audience at the time. “So what I want to say to women, more than men, is stop putting everyone first… ‘Cause if we’re not good, they’re not good.”<\/p>\n

Sometimes, the show must (not) go on\u2014and for a good reason.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
