On Friday, it was announced that ‘The Wendy Williams’ Show won’t return until January 4th, 2021, following the passing of Wendy’s mother.

Posted on her official Instagram account, the message reads, “Next week, ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will air repeats to allow Wendy to travel and be with her family at this time. The Show will return with original episodes on Monday, January 4th. Debmar-Mercury extends its deepest condolences to Wendy and her family.”

If you recall, reports of the talk show host’s mother passing started to circulate on Sunday. The following Monday, Wendy took to the show and discussed the loss of her mother. 

Wendy said, “My mom passed away many many weeks ago. You know how during corona, the world topsy turvy, people starving, people out of jobs, just everybody’s life is something new. You know how you lose track of the day and date and the time. All I know was that it was a long time ago.”

She continued to say, “First of all she passed away beautiful and peacefully and surrounded by love. She didn’t suffer not one bit.”

As the New York native continued to remember her mother, she also spoke about the close relationship they had throughout the years, and that she knows that her mother is still present

“Please it’s not like I don’t cry, I just don’t cry in front of you,” she stated.

Please continue to keep Wendy and her family in your prayers.
