What Happened To Wendy Williams’ Feet?

Wendy Williams appeared on TMZ Live in June 2022 to discuss her lymphedema symptoms. “Do you see this?” She asked, holding up her swollen foot. “It’s up and down. I can only feel maybe five percent of my feet. Normally, I would be in a wheelchair. I’m not in a wheelchair; I stand up.” Williams said her health was good, but she no longer wanted to be on TV full-time. Instead, she shared she would like to guest host on shows such as “The View.”

However, Lifetime’s unflinching docuseries painted a different — and utterly heartbreaking — picture. It was clear that Williams’ dementia and aphasia were more advanced than people believed, and it made for difficult viewing. Her longtime friend, Charlamagne tha God, was among the many who struggled to watch.

“I don’t know who she has around her that truly cares, and I was very, very shocked and surprised to see that her family was executive producers of this project,” he told Page Six, continuing, “I was just like, d***. You could look at her and tell something’s not right, so why would you want this out there?” The “Breakfast Club” host said it’s important to remember Williams’ entertainment legacy and her past life rather than solely focus on her struggles now. “She had a stellar radio career,” he said. “She had a stellar fourteen-year run on TV. This is just the current chapter for Wendy Williams.”
