Just four weeks after she’s returned to her purple chair, Wendy Williams is headed back off the air. A rep for The Wendy Williams Show told Us Weekly that the break, starting April 1, was previously scheduled.
“The Wendy Williams Show is taking a previously scheduled spring break hiatus and airing repeat episodes during the week of April 1st. The show will return with original episodes on April 8th,” the rep said. Williams returned to her purple chair earlier this month, after being off the air for nearly two months. The Emmy-nominated host had been on an extended leave since January 18 to focus on her health after suffering complications from Graves’ disease, the chronic immune system disorder affecting the thyroid gland. Last week, she revealed she had been living in a sober house and was also battling issues with her sobriety. On an episode of The Wendy Williams Show, the daytime talk show host revealed that she’s been getting treatment for past issues with cocaine. Williams returned to her show back on March 4 to a standing ovation, telling the audience, “Thank you so much for waiting for us.”
