Did Wendy Williams Fake Her Fainting Spell on the 'The Wendy Williams Show'?

Did Wendy Williams Fake Her Fainting Spell on the 'The Wendy Williams Show'?

During Tuesday's live Halloween episode of The Wendy Williams Show, Williams, who was dressed as the Statue of Liberty, began stumbling over her words before suddenly fainting in a scary moment.


The show quickly cut to commercial break, leaving viewers with just a quick glimpse of show personnel running to aid the fallen Williams, and questions of whether or not it was part of some stunt Williams had planned.

But after the commercial break, Williams explained that she had indeed fainted, saying: "That was not a stunt. I overheated in my costume. I did pass out, but you know what? I’m a champ, and I’m back." 

Still, some continued to believe that Williams did it on purpose as some sort of publicity stunt, which both the show and Williams later refuted. 

In a statement, the show said: "Wendy is feeling much better. She overheated because of her heavy costume, makeup, and lights. She was able to finish the show in true Wendy spirit. She will address the incident on tomorrow’s show." 

And on Wednesday, Williams did indeed address what happened, saying: "A lot of people thought that was a joke, me fainting on my set. No, that was not a joke. I’m a tall woman and it’s a long way down. I’m also a woman of a particular age and I’m not trying to break anything and also I don’t do stunts and jokes for you like that. I don’t need that."

She also explained that late in the show, she could feel herself getting a little dizzy and overheated as she was being briefed by a producer. And coming back from the commercial break, she knew she was going down.

Getting emotional, Williams said: "It was really scary. All I could think of though, in the middle of the scare, was 'don't pull the podium over on you, because that'll make for worse.'"

After pulling through to finish the show, Williams was told by paramedics that she was low on electrolytes, and was treated and released without any major injuries.

"I want to thank you all for your tweets and your flowers and my colleagues in this game on TV," she said, thankfully. "I got all of your well wishes and the people who covered it and you on social media who commented and even the haters because you motivate me."

Twitter is just glad Williams is ok:

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.
