Wendy Williams goes boating in the Hamptons with CNN host Don Lemon after she leaves show for ‘medical issues’
WENDY Williams went boating in the Hamptons with CNN host Don Lemon after she left the show for “medical issues.”
The daytime talk show host recently said she’s looking forward to getting back to work following the hiatus.
Wendy posted a picture of herself on a boat with her long hair blowing in her face.
She captioned the snap: “Happy weekend! When @donlemoncnn is @ the wheel no time for hair spray!
“Cute group of people on Don’s boat. We’re going back to his house.
“Short nap then dinner & I’ve known the host for years! What are you doing?”
Earlier this month, Wendy explained she will not be returning with her at-home episodes.
She said: “I’m waiting for the state of New York to say that we as a show can go back.”
“We got 200 people in our audience, we’ll never have that again. But I want to go back to do our show.”
She added: “Nothing makes me happier than to be Wendy on The Wendy Show.
“What I want the most is to be with you. I miss you. I miss you a lot.”
A spokesperson confirmed to Deadline: “The goal is to be back in studio as soon as we are allowed.
“If that is delayed until later in the year, we may revisit the @ Home shows.”
Last month Wendy went on hiatus from the at-home broadcasts because of a health crisis with Graves disease.
This past July, Wendy opened up about having lymphedema.
The condition causes swelling in the arms and legs.
She uses a special machine at home to help with the symptoms.
Production sources told The Sun of her hiatus: “Wendy absolutely hates working from home so the quarantine has been really hard on her.
“She’s been struggling with it more behind the scenes than her audience realizes and it got worse the week before her announcement.”
They said she was “in a bad place mentally.”

Before Wendy went on hiatus, fans had become concerned she relapsed, due to her past struggles with drugs.
They noticed Wendy appeared to “slur her words” and look “out of it” on live TV.
She also broke down in tears several times on-air.
But insiders shared she “is not checked into a treatment facility anywhere at the moment.”
