Now insiders are claiming that Wendy’s podcast is no longer in discussion.

OK! reports:

Wendy Williams reportedly spilled to friends that “The Wendy Experience Podcast” has been canceled following months of hyping up the long-awaited project.

The ailing former television host first announced the podcast last July and even dropped merchandise online for the then-upcoming show.

She followed up the announcement in November 2022 by insisting the podcast would debut within the “next few weeks.” However, as of now, her website’s link to the section that previously detailed the podcast no longer works.

“It’s strange, because she is saying there is no podcast, but is also telling people she’s going to return to TV,” a source dished on Williams’ increasingly bizarre behavior concerning her stalled career. “It’s hard to figure out what is based in reality.”
Do you think Wendy can regain her crown as ‘Queen of all media’?

Wendy Willians Ices Out Fan Attempting To Help Her Walk

February 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s a common occurrence to run into celebrities from all walks of life throughout New York City. This is something one social media user, Queen Nurys, knows all too well. Judging by her viral posts, the woman seeks out well-known names as she treks through the city for photo ops. Most even seem to welcome Nurys with open arms as she records their public encounters. Her recent chance meeting with Wendy Williams, however, didn’t go exactly as she’d planned it to.

In one of Nurys’ latest TikTok clips, Wendy Williams can be seen exiting her SUV in the bustling city. Though the 58-year-old was recently quoted saying she has “the mind and body of a 25-year-old,” this didn’t stop her from demanding assistance getting onto the sidewalk. “I’m going,” the controversial TV host announces, proceeding to point to the ground. “Somebody help me.” While it’s not clear if anyone came to her aide at first, Queen Nury goes on to show her own attempt moments later. The woman extends her phone-less hand to the former radio personality, to which she responds with an icy “Oh no.”

”I tried to help her but she had a nasty attitude like wtf,” Nurys wrote into the clip. The run-in, which has since amassed over 1.7 million views, saw a legion of fans coming to Wendy Williams’ defense. Many made a point that Queen Nury’s gesture seemed insincere, following her trend of finding stars for likes. “The gaslighting is real,” one user began. “Imagine being in a vulnerable state, needing help but the only person with a hand out is ready to tell the world they did a good deed.” Nurys says she was simply a fan of The Wendy Williams Show and was going to ask her for a selfie.

Regardless if the gesture was genuine or not, it was a clear response to Williams’ ongoing health battles. The longtime tea-spiller was documented leaving a rehab facility in October 2022 following her show’s end. Though Wendy Williams struggles with Graves’ Disease, she confirms she’s feeling “better than ever.” Her and publicist Shawn Zanotti have also confirmed future projects in the works, including an upcoming podcast.

Wendy Williams’ Ex Husband Hires New Legal Team To Fight Divorce Agreement

January 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last year, it was revealed that former talk show host Wendy Williams’ ex husband Kevin Hunter was on the verge of losing everything because of a clause in his divorce agreement. The agreement allowed Wendy to stop paying alimony if she were no longer working on the Wendy Williams Show.
According to the court documents, Kevin depended on the court-ordered spousal payments from Wendy for homeowner association payments, car insurance, and to pay off his outstanding credit card bills.
He released a statement about his financial stress.

“I have fallen behind on most of my bills, I currently live in a community that requires payments to the homeowner association and I’m behind on that bill.”

“If the homeowners association fees are not paid foreclosure will soon follow,” he continued. “My car insurance hasn’t been paid as a result of not receiving monthly severance payments. I’m behind on credit card payments because I have no money since the severance payments were suspended.”

“My life has been greatly affected since the plaintiff stopped making payments under our settlement agreement.”

“The fact that I am unable to sustain my life and pay my bills in order is extremely emergent to me,” Kevin said. “I cannot pay my bills and sustain my day-to-day living.”

Now Kevin has hired a new legal team to go after the money he feels he deserves.

Kev shared the news in a post on Instagram stories.

Wendy Williams Tells Jason Lee She is Married to a Former NYPD Officer

August 4, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Wendy Williams is once again a married woman. According to Hollywood Unlocked‘s Jason Lee, Williams disclosed that she is married to a man named Henry. Henry is reportedly a former NYPD officer.

In her conversation with Lee, Wendy didn’t reveal any additional details about her marriage but gave financial updates. Wendy reportedly no longer has access to her American Express card, but Will Selby, a good friend of hers, has been assisting her with keeping access to one of her accounts.

In a separate statement to Page Six, Selby denied that Williams is married. “That’s inaccurate. She is excited about a new relationship and probably got carried away in conversation,” Selby said.

Williams doubled down on the marriage claims to Lee, citing Selby “sees no point” in Wendy getting married.

“I’m married! I don’t care who knows it. Will sees no point in me getting married. But you know what? Fuck Will. 14 years I’ve known him. I’ve always said fuck him… in a good way. I didn’t know what podcast was, he put me onto podcast.”

He hasn’t reacted to the marriage news, but Wendy Williams’ ex-husband Kevin Hunter is speaking out against Debmar-Mercury, the production company behind The Wendy Williams Show, who did not want to help the hot in recovery from addiction issues.

“Debmar would not support Wendy’s recovery efforts with the family,” Hunter said to Page Six. “They would not sign off on anything that would’ve helped her recovery efforts.”

Hunter stated Williams’ family would attend a meeting where Debmar-Mercury would discuss how they could jointly combat her alcohol abuse, but they would not sign off on treatment plans.

“They sat in a meeting with her whole family, including her now-deceased mom, and would not sign off on the recovery efforts that would’ve helped Wendy also get well and live and be sober,” Hunter said. “They basically said, ‘If you don’t stop drinking, you’re going to lose the show.’”

Hunter and Williams split in 2019 after the host filed for divorce.

Wendy Williams was spotted in the street by TMZ. Wendy Williams spoke glowingly about her forthcoming podcast, in which she plans to have some very important guests. According to Selby, the former talk show host has no interest in returning to TV. Welby is going to executive produce Wendy’s forthcoming podcast. Williams is said to already have conversations with the Kardashians and a member of the Trump family ready to share with fans and has asked Snoop Dogg and Fat Joe to join her in the future.

Currently, Wendy and her team are trying to decide on staying independent or partnering with a platform like Spotify or Apple.

Just a few days after she reportedly never leaves home, Wendy Williams was spotted in the street by TMZ. Wendy Williams spoke glowingly about her forthcoming podcast, in which she plans to have some very important guests.

According to Wendy’s manager Will Selby, the former talk show host has no interest in returning to TV. Welby is going to executive produce Wendy’s forthcoming podcast.

Williams is said to already have conversations with the Kardashians and a member of the Trump family ready to share with fans and has asked Snoop Dogg and Fat Joe to join her in the future.

Currently, Wendy and her team are trying to decide on staying independent or partnering with a platform like Spotify or Apple.

Earlier in the month, a source spoke to The Sun stating Williams doesn’t leave her house and “can’t remember anything.” The source also added Wendy “hasn’t taken any meetings to try to get back on the air” and it would be a long road to get her back on air in the future.

“She can’t remember anything, she needs a teleprompter and she needs someone there to remind her of things,” the source said. “She is sitting in her house, she isn’t taking meetings, she isn’t going out, there is no plan.”

The decade-plus run of The Wendy Williams show came to a close on June 17. Ahead of the show, Variety noted Wendy Williams would not be in attendance for the final episode. Instead, a video montage celebrating Williams played in the time slot.

Wendy Williams has not been on her show for the entire 2021-22 season due to health-related issues. Throughout the season multiple guests filled in for Wendy, including Sherri Shepherd, who is hosting the final week and will have her own show this coming Fall.
