As OK! previously reported, the former radio jockey's team released a statement via her show's official Instagram account on Wednesday, September 15, that read, "While continuing her health evaluations, Wendy has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19.”
“To allow Wendy time to quarantine and fully recover and to ensure that our production abides by all SAG/AFTRA and DGA Covid protocols, we expect to begin the 13th season of The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, October 4,” the statement continued.
Concerns over William's health began when her team announced on September 9, that the television personality was "taking a break" and would not be able to complete promotional engagements for the latest season of her talk show.
