In an effort to “correct inaccurate and hurtful rumours about her health,” the team announced that it was sharing the news.
For more than ten years, Ms. Williams,59, presented the well-liked Wendy Williams Show, which was nationally syndicated.
However, due to her ongoing health issues, it ended in 2022.
The diagnosis was revealed one day after Ms. Williams’s relatives claimed in a People Magazine cover story that she was in a startling health “spiral” and was in a care facility in an undisclosed location.
“As Wendy’s fans are aware, in the past she has been open with the public about her medical struggles with Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema as well as other significant challenges related to her health,” her medical team said in a statement on Thursday.
“Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy’s ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy’s condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions.”
