Wendy Williams is starting to worry friends as she reportedly spirals from the bombshell announcement that Sherri Shepherd would be permanently taking over The Wendy Williams Show time slot in the Fall.

Williams was forced to take an extended break from her famed purple chair after struggling with various health problems since last July, including complications in her battle with Graves' disease, a breakthrough case of COVID-19 and mental health concerns.

"A lot of people are concerned about Wendy right now, but it seems like things are getting worse," another insider connected to the show dished to the outlet of the mother-of-one's state of mind since Tuesday's announcement.

As OK! previously reported, a source spilled that Williams feels that the way the cancellation was announced was a "slap in the face" to her time on the show.

"Wendy has 2.6 million subscribers on her YouTube alone. That’s Wendy’s YouTube! She built that following, not Sherri, not the production company," a source pointed out.

"It was bad enough they canceled her show and gave Sherri her own daytime talk show which is set to take over Wendy’s time slot," the source continued, "It was a total slap in the face for it to be announced on Wendy’s show and her platforms."
