A circulating photo shows Wendy Williamson what appears to be a recent shopping spree while accompanied by her son, Kevin Hunter Jr.
Now, the internet is gagging at the sight of the daytime TV star out and about following the health struggles revealed in her documentary and beyond.Earlier this year, in February, Wendy’s caretaker revealed she’d been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and dementia. The 60-year-old had previously revealed her medical tussles with Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema.
Additionally, the statement clarified that the TV host was “still able to do many things for herself” and maintained her “trademark sense of humor” while receiving medical care. However, the viral shopping photo is the first evidence fans have seen of the statement’s self-sufficient claims.
According to Page Six, Wendy and Kevin recently snapped photos at a holistic store in New Jersey. The outlet reports that the circulating image is the first we’ve seen Williams in public in over a year.
The new Wendy Williams photo first surfaced on Instagram on August 20 and on Facebook on August 19. In the image, the TV host is rocking bright pink lipstick, blonde-brown tresses, and a bang. Furthermore, she wore a jean-blue-colored outfit partially hidden by a green shopping bag. On her feet, Williams had puffy, white boots. Meanwhile, she had over a dozen blue, yellow, and red roses in her arms.
Page Six reports that the mother-son duo visited Bolingo Balance in Newark. She posed next to a smiling shop employee, who happened to be the late Dr. Sebi’s son, Victor Bowman. A second photo shows Kevin Hunter Jr. posing with Victor, who runs the holistic store.
An employee told the outlet that Wendy Williams was “sharp, upbeat and aware.” Moreover, the source claimed the TV star was “very bubbly” during the shopping trip and took a moment to speak with Victor about various health products.
Kevin Hunter Jr. allegedly took the lead in explaining the store and its products, as Wendy reportedly seemed unfamiliar.
“She talked about circulation improvement but didnt want to get into too much detail on their first meeting and plans to come back in the near future,” the employee told Page Six.
And that’s not all that the holistic store employee spilled to the outlet! Apparently, Wendy Williams left the store with several products in the green bag, as seen in her viral photo.
Dr. Sebi’s son gifted her “big for skin,” iron-rich herbs such as “sarsaparilla,” “contribo,” “bottano oil,” and capsules allegedly for hormonal balance and mental wellness.
Last month, a source told PEOPLE that her family was still being denied contact and access to her amid her 60th birthday on July 18. Her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, did not comment on the allegations. However, claims of limited contact between Wendy and her family have been circulating since 2022, when the guardianship first began.
However, this new photo of Wendy Williams could indicate some compromise, but the host’s reps have yet to confirm it.
