May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Over the years, Wendy Williams talked about her drug addiction, and in 2019 she revealed that she had been living in a sober house as part of her recovery. She said on her program, "The Wendy Williams Show," that she had struggled with cocaine, reported People. Williams was honest with her audience and explained that substance abusers have to struggle with their addictions for the rest of their lives. Referring to one period of her life, she said, "I was a mess, functioning, killing myself," and she considered it a miracle that she was able to stop abusing drugs at the age of 29. She spent 10 years as a cocaine addict and wanted to tell her fans how she was able to overcome her problems.

The talk show host was also diagnosed with Graves Disease, an autoimmune medical condition that can cause hyperthyroidism, according to NBC News. It can also cause a person's eyes to bulge and features symptoms such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, forgetfulness, hair loss, and many other issues. As she was open about her substance abuse, Williams also talked about her health condition on her talk show. She's also had other issues over the years, including famously fainting on air in 2017, which she attributed to being low on electrolytes while wearing a Statue of Liberty costume for a segment she was doing.
