Several viewers commented on Williams’ behavior underneath an Instagram clip of The Wendy Williams Show. Multiple fans of Williams’ expressed their genuine concern for her well-being and said her demeanor made it difficult for them to keep tuning into the show.
“Wendy, please take care of yourself… It was honestly hard to watch you today. I look forward to watching you in a better light Monday,” one fan said at the time.
“Wendy, I’m not being rude. Today was hard to watch. I never say anything negative about you because you are a legend. I hope everything is ok. It was difficult to watch Norman and Suzanne trying to do their best to not react. I’m really hoping you are well,” another viewer chimed in.
“I’ve never, ever said anything against Wendy. I adore her. Today was painful. Painful to watch. I am sad,” an onlooker shared.
“Wendy, what is going on. Something is not right. You acted strange today. I agree, Wendy, you might need help again. Don’t lose your show. We love you.”
Wendy Williams reportedly didn’t want to address her health on ‘The Wendy Williams Show’

Williams said she is working on her issues and is attempting to do so while being a public figure.
“I come here every day, and I try to do the best that I can do for you,” Williams stated. “I appreciate you watching, but even after all of these years, it’s still work,” she continued. “An effort put in for the hour I’m out here, you know? I guess every day is not perfect, but I’m not a perfectionist. I’m not perfect. “I love entertaining you, you know? And it’s not easy. It’s not easy. You’re a tough crowd.”
While Williams made a transparent remark to her fans, Ok! Magazine says she never wanted to address the rumors about her behavior publicly. Williams was reportedly forced by her bosses to speak out about it during an emergency meeting.
