Wendy Williams Tried To Bury Relapse Reports

Wendy Williams has certainly been on an interesting journey since her show ended. On September 14th of last year, it was reported that the broadcaster Wendy had entered a rehabilitation center. Originally, it was reported that she had entered the center to address substance abuse issues. These issues were supposedly linked to her fallout with the production company Debmar-Mercury. However, Wendy’s spokesperson has contradicted these reports. They said that her treatment was focused on her overall health as she prepared to return to the media with her upcoming podcast, The Wendy Experience.

At the time, her team made a statement about Wendy’s trip to rehab. “She is taking some time to focus on her health and wellness as she prepares for a major comeback for the next level in her career with The Wendy Experience Podcast,”they said. “Ms. Williams is being treated by a team of some of the best doctors in the world. We ask for your prayers and well wishes during this time.” Since then, Wendy has been seen many times out and about in New York City. However, she has not really looked like herself. From stumbling over her words to physical stumbling, the host was looking like she probably needed some help.

Wendy’s Relapse

According to Instagram gossip blog The Jasmine Brand, Wendy has relapsed. There are allegedly insider reports that confirm the story. The insider says that Wendy asked her friends to give her clear alcohol hidden in water bottles. “She was asking for clear liquor to be brought to her in water bottles so no one would suspect it,” said the source. “She would ask, and then call repeatedly to follow up on her request.” This is in direct opposition to claims that Wendy Williams was “better than ever,” which was the story in the headlines once she checked out the rehab facility.

Wendy has also been reportedly filming a reality show recently. Very little information is available on on that front except that she was seen filming near her childhood home in New Jersey. This follows news that the podcast that Wendy’s team had been touting is no longer in production. The reasons for that are unclear. However, if the videos that have been surfacing on social media are any indication, Wendy Williams is not in a good place. What do you think of Wendy’s current situation? Do you believe that she has relapsed? Let us know in the comments!

Eminem Explains Why He Nixed The Rumored ‘Relapse 2’ Album

Say what you want about the unnecessary drama that some rap podcasts have a tendency to spark, but every so often, they also give fans fun peeks behind the curtains and even confirm long-held beliefs about their favorite artists and their music. Today, in the latest episode of one such insightful podcast, Paul Pod hosted by longtime Eminem manager Paul Rosenberg, Eminem himself validated a rumor about a planned sequel to his 2009 album Relapse, which spawned the No. 1 single “Crack A Bottle.”

The rumor was fueled by Eminem himself in a 2010 Billboard interview in which he said, “The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2, but I still want the other stuff to be heard.” Unfortunately for the fans holding out hope that the album would eventually see the light of day on some Lost Tapes tip, Em also torpedoed that fantasy.

As he said on the podcast, “There’s probably enough to make another Relapse. There are a lot of songs that did not leak out from Relapse.” He’s referring to a pair of songs that leaked in 2019 and did not paint the pre-sobriety Em in the best light. And although fans urged him to put out that sequel project, he admitted, “They’re terrible songs, and if they didn’t even make the album on Relapse, and I feel how I feel about Relapse, then that should say something. There’s no Relapse 2.” Given he later returned to form with 2010’s Recovery, it’s probably best for all involved that those songs remain in the vault. Check out the podcast episode below.

Eminem Drops A Previously Unreleased Video For His, Dr. Dre, And 50 Cent’s 2009 Classic ‘Crack A Bottle’

“Crack A Bottle” was a major song for Eminem: The 2009 Dr. Dre and 50 Cent collaboration, the lead single from Relapse, was Eminem’s second career No. 1 single in the US (following “Lose Yourself” in 2002). It also got the three a 2010 Grammy win for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.

Despite all that, Eminem never actually released a video for the song. However, one was made, and now Eminem has gone into the vault to share it today for the first time ever.

The clip is seemingly free of modern enhancements, as the YouTube upload is presented in 480p quality. The visual starts by focusing on a dirty, apparently homeless person. Then we see another person, seemingly with mental issues writing on a wall and experiencing anguish. There there are characters including a tattoo artist and a bartender. None of the three rappers themselves actually appear in the video.

Especially enthusiastic fans of either Eminem, Dre, or 50 have have actually seen this video before: While it was never officially released before today, the clip appears to have leaked online back in June 2009.

Meanwhile, that era was good to Eminem’s daughter Hailie Jade, as she recently discussed on her new podcast.
