Wendy Williams Having a Mental Breakdown Over COVID Diagnosis? Host Allegedly Hospitalized for 'Psychiatric Reasons'

Is Wendy Williams okay?

Despite being fully vaccinated, the famous TV host has allegedly been rushed to the hospital following her team's announcement that she has contracted COVID-19.

The Sun reported that the New York Police Department was called to Wendy's apartment building in NYC on Wednesday at around 8 AM following a 911 call to assist a 57-year-old female who reportedly needed "psychiatric services."

The description matched Wendy Williams.

A spokesperson for the authorities told the outlet, "There was a call for a 57-year-old female who needed psychiatric services at the address on Wednesday morning. They were transported to the hospital."

The Sun also provided an image outside the said apartment complex with the ambulance siren's light turned on.

However, the police wouldn't confirm if the woman who needed psychiatric help was Wendy Williams, so it's unclear if it was really her or not.

On Sept. 15, "The Wendy Williams Show" Instagram page confirmed that the 57-year-old's season premiere would be postponed.

The post said, "While continuing her health evaluations, Wendy has tested positive for a breakthrough case of Covid-19."

This came after many of her other scheduled appearances were canceled just last week, with the show's page also confirming that she has "ongoing health issues and further evaluations."

Their statement also ensured that Wendy is returning on Sept. 20, but it doesn't seem to be the case now.
