"The Wendy Williams Show" will be returning next week, without its namesake as the host. On Friday a statement was posted on Williams' Twitter account from both the Hunter family and the show's production company, Demar-Mercury. It states Williams will be taking a "necessary, extended break" from her show to focus on her personal and physical well-being. "Over the past few days, Wendy has experienced complications regarding her Graves' Disease that will require treatment," the statement reads, "Wendy will be under the strict supervision of her physicians, and as part of her care, there will be significant time spent in the hospital."You can read the full statement here: In December, Williams announced she was suffering from a hairline fracture, and postponed her official return date from Jan. 7 to Jan. 14th, but the latest update states the show will air repeat episodes the week of Jan. 21 and "will produce original episodes with a variety of hosts starting the week of January 28th." Variety reported on Jan. 9 that new episodes will air with a panel of temporary hosts to help everyone get caught up with the latest gossip.
