Wendy Williams Reveals She's Been "Living In A Sober House" Due To Past "Struggle With Cocaine"
On Tuesday, Wendy Williams revealed that she's been living in a sober home during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.
Wendy has been open about her struggles with addiction in the past and created the Hunter Foundation, which helps families deal with addiction.
Wendy Williams is living in a sober home and focusing on her health and sobriety due to what she describes as a past "struggle with cocaine." The host revealed this news to her Wendy Williams Show audience on Tuesday, saying, "For some time now, and even today and beyond, I have been living in a sober house. When you see me come to work glammed up, right after the show, I go across the street, I do my Pilates. I told you-two hours a day, I like to take care of my body."
She continued: "You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in my past. And I never went to a place to get the treatment. I don’t know how, except God was sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped."
Wendy took a break from her show from January to early March to focus on her battle with Graves' disease and says only her husband Kevin Hunter knew she was getting additional treatment. "Only Kevin has known about this. Not my parents, nobody. Nobody, nobody knew because I look so glamorous out here. But after I finish my appointments [...] I am driven by my 24-hour sober coach back to a home that I live in the tri-state with a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family."
She added that the facility has strict rules, including "doors locked by 10 p.m., lights out by 10 p.m, so I go to my room and stare at the ceiling and fall asleep to come here to see you. So that is my truth."
Wendy has been open about her past drug use before, telling Entertainment Tonight in 2018 that she was a "functioning addict" who would "report to work on time" and couldn't be fired because "I was making ratings."
She's since created the Hunter Foundation, which helps families deal with addiction.
