Wendy Williams made a candid revelation during her appearance on The View, where she opened up about her past struggles with substance abuse and her recent slip-up with alcohol. Although Williams has been on a path of sobriety for some time, she admitted to a brief relapse during the summer of the previous year. She explained that on her birthday, July 18, while traveling from Connecticut to New York, she had a moment of indulgence and celebrated with alcohol. However, Williams was quick to assure everyone that this was a one-time occurrence and emphasized her commitment to staying alcohol-free moving forward.
In addition to discussing her personal journey with sobriety, Williams also addressed her ongoing legal battles, particularly regarding her guardianship. She strongly denied the claims of “incapacitation” made by her guardian and others involved in her case. Williams expressed frustration over the way her life has been controlled, insisting that she is fully capable of managing her own affairs and is no longer in need of guardianship. She passionately defended her autonomy, stating that those in charge of her case don’t truly understand her and will never be able to replicate her life or her impact.
This appearance comes after Williams passed a psych evaluation test, a significant step amid the ongoing legal proceedings related to her guardianship. Despite her challenges, Williams remains adamant about her independence and ability to lead her own life, expressing a firm stance against what she sees as undue interference.
