Wendy Williams Battling Anxiety And Insomnia After Cheating And Fainting Scandal

It has been a rough few weeks for talk show host Wendy Williams, as reports came out that her husband cheated on her, and her recent fainting scandal while taping The Wendy Williams Show . This has led to a very stressful situation for Williams and it looks like it has turned into her barely eating or sleeping.

Yes, Hollywood Life is reporting that Wendy Williams is battling anxiety and insomnia because of all this stress. Because of these issues, it has really taken a toll on her health.

“Wendy [Williams] has been under so much stress recently, and it’s really taking a toll on her health. She’s had really bad problems sleeping, she’s pretty much totally lost her appetite, and she’s battling anxiety. Wendy could really do with a break, but she refuses to take any time off from filming [her talk show]. It’s like Wendy is just brushing everything under the table and pretending that nothing’s wrong,”

That is definitely not the right way to handle things and probably why she fainted during a recent episode. However, Williams is powering through all the drama and keeping herself busy with work.

This all stems from reports that Wendy’s husband, Kevin Hunter, had an affair with a massage therapist named Sharina Hudson. A few weeks after that report came out, we saw Williams faint during a live taping of her talk show. She first blamed it on being overheated and then blamed it on menopause, but it looks like it could be because of anxiety and insomnia, according to Hollywood Life .

“[Wendy] still hasn’t properly addressed the cheating rumors [surrounding her husband] — she’s just carrying on as if everything is normal. However, it’s not, and although she’s putting on a brave face, she knows deep down that things aren’t right. If she confronts Kevin though, and it turns out that he has been cheating on her, then she has so much to lose — he’s not just her husband and the father of her son, he’s also her business partner.”

Wendy is definitely burying her head in the sand, as far as all of this is concerned. She is acting like nothing has happened and life is great. However, Hollywood Life states this is all eating her up on the inside. That is never a good thing, as they state it is a recipe for disaster.

It seems like her health may not be getting better any time soon either. Daily Mail is reporting that Wendy’s husband and the massage therapist are still seeing each other . Williams can act like everything is okay, but it definitely is not.

Daily Mail stated that Wendy Williams’ husband was seen on Monday with his younger mistress. This comes on the heels of Williams defending her husband and saying she was going to stand by her guy. The two were seen together on Monday, yet Hunter was seen on Tuesday dropping off Williams at her television studio.

Despite the fact that it looks like the cheating is still going on, it does look like Wendy Williams is standing by her man.
