Wendy Williams Is 'Stable' & 'Fighting,' Her Brother Says After Daytime TV Icon Was Hospitalized For 'Psychiatric Services': 'It's Not Easy'
She’s a fighter!
Daytime diva Wendy Williams’ brother Tommy is giving a health update after the TV host was hospitalized for mental health concerns.
“I really do believe and have the faith that Wendy’s going to make it,” he said in a video on social media. “We’ve been hit just like other families. You know it’s not easy [but] you got to dig yourself out, you got to hold on to the memories and we have some good ones.”
“It’s not an easy fight. It’s one that individuals always win. Sadly, come November, we are on the anniversary of my mother’s [Shirley Williams] passing,” he continued.
“It’s not easy. This isn’t easy but it’s necessary,” he added. “She’s doing well. Stable. I’ve spoken with her, and we’re hanging in there. She’s hanging in there. We’re praying. She’s fighting.”
