On Thursday's episode of Wendy, the 54-year-old host looked visibly uncomfortable and at times had trouble speaking, causing many fans to question her wellbeing. Two days ago, Wendy revealed she had fractured her shoulder in an undisclosed accident, but insisted she was "on the mend" and not in need of surgery.
In a statement posted to her Instagram page, Wendy acknowledged the "less than stellar show" and blamed her behavior on having to take pain medication.
"I'm on your TV screens every day wanting to spread laughter, entertainment and cheer," she wrote. "As I reported earlier in the week, I have a hairline fracture on my upper arm, which hurts like hell. I've never broken a bone or experienced a fracture in my life. In the key place where the fracture is, and trying to scurry around and do too much, I am now paying the price."
In doing so, Wendy revealed, she was forced to take pain medication for the first time ever. She explained, "I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgement of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being. I really do ride or die for my craft and give 200 [percent]."
Additionally, Williams attributed the issues to her having Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid.
"Needless to say," she continued, "whatever today's performance was with the legendary The Lox, who said such nice things, I have no regrets and I appreciate everyone's genuine concern for my wellness and care."
