Wendy Williams Gives No-Holds-Barred Interview

Wendy Williams started her interview with TMZ by asking, “You know I have lymphedema, you know what that is, correct?”, to which the response from the other came “No”. Williams responded, “All right, you don’t know lymphedema? All right, I’ll show you”. Then she bent down to lift up her affected foot which was very much swollen. “Ok, lymphedema is this. Do you see this right here? Look. No, look closely.”

“Do you see this?” she continued while revealing her foot to the spotlight. “It’s up and down. I can only feel maybe five percent of my feet. Do you understand? Which means, normally, I would be in a wheelchair,” she shared. “I’m not in a wheelchair. I stand up.” When asked about her physical condition, she boldly replied, “Better than you.”

What Are Williams’ Future Plans?

According to Williams, the next stop in the road for her is a podcast. “When you’re famous, podcasts will make more money for me, being famous, than doing The Wendy Williams Show,” Williams said.

She continued, “So, podcasts. Where will I go? I’m not sure. Europe, you know. France. Wherever I want to go.” She added that she just might gather some intriguing guests from her previous connections. When asked about the show, she said, “Excuse me, I am 100 percent retired in ‘The Wendy Williams Show’, and I do not want to be on TV except for guest hosting.” Now, everyone is praying for her speedy recovery.
