Wendy Williams is doin’ fine! The host, 53, returned to The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, February 19, after taking three days off. Luckily, she’s feeling much better. “I must say, it’s good to be back. I apologize to those of you who had tickets for the show Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. I was not here. I was fluish with complications. But no more,” Williams said at the top of her show.

Williams also commented on the paparazzi outside her New Jersey home and doctor’s office. “That’s when it gets weird. I’m the ‘Hot Topics’ woman, I don’t want to be your ’Hot Topics’ topics. It’s very strange being on that side of the lens, like dumb booger runs from behind a car. The clicks, you don’t know until you experience it. We live so sequestered in New Jersey!”
As previously reported, The Wendy Williams Show ran re-runs last week when the host fell ill. On Friday, she reassured fans with an Instagram post that she’d be back soon.
