The season premiere date for The Wendy Williams Show was \u00a0pushed back as the 57-year-old host continues to struggle with her health.<\/p>\n

The show is expected to return soon, as a source told Central Recorder: \u201cThe staff is moving forward, anticipating Wendy’s return on October 4th.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Wendy\u2019s staff is \u201cso used to her drama they are not that worried\u201d and \u201cthey believe she will be back.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the Nick Cannon Show host is allegedly \u201cpissed\u201d that re-runs of Wendy\u2019s show will be airing when his talk show premieres on September 27.<\/p>\n

ANGRY NICK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The insider claimed: \u201cKeep in mind Nick Cannon is super pissed off about these re-runs airing as his lead in.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is relying on Wendy to give his new show a huge lead in audience.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis new show follows her- and it’s the same producers.\u201d<\/p>\n

They continued: \u201cHe could eventually be Wendy’s replacement – and she knows it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pressure is on him to get ratings- and without a huge lead in, he’s dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick, 40, announced that he would host his own talk show on daytime in May.<\/p>\n

WENDY’S HEALTH SCARE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Last week, Wendy was transported to a local New York City hospital\u00a0after police received a 911 call from her building about a 57-year-old female in need of\u00a0psychiatric\u00a0services.<\/p>\n

An ambulance arrived on scene and\u00a0transported a woman matching the host’s description to a nearby hospital\u00a0for evaluation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Central Recorder first broke the news that\u00a0Wendy\u00a0had been struggling with\u00a0addiction\u00a0leading up to her hospitalization for psychiatric issues last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWendy was drinking every day, even while filming the show,”\u00a0an insider revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the source, staffers had said that they would smell the alcohol on her.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is an enabler because they don’t want to lose their job. They see it, they know it, they\u00a0smelled the liquor.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 57-year-old host, who\u00a0opened up\u00a0about her struggles with sobriety in the past, checked into a sober living house in 2019 after filing for divorce from\u00a0Kevin Hunter, her husband of over 20 years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ADDICTION BATTLE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite acknowledging her struggles with addiction, the source said: \u201cWendy drinks every day and the only time she was sober was when she was at the sober house.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cHer staffers are worried but no one is ever going to speak up because they don’t want to lose their jobs.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe’s an alcoholic. A bad one.\u00a0She doesn\u2019t need a talk show, she needs help.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Central Recorder reported recently that Wendy will be under medical evaluation for several weeks.<\/p>\n

An insider revealed Wendy\u00a0remains hospitalized for the time being, and that The Wendy Williams Show\u2019s\u00a0already-delayed\u00a0premiere could be pushed back\u00a0yet again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

STRAINED RELATIONSHIP<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wendy’s health problems are not the only issues in her life, as her 20-year-old son Kevin Hunter Jr. has threatened to pull back from the relationship.<\/p>\n

A source exclusively told Central Recorder that Kevin gave his TV host mother tough love and told her he \u201cwould not be in her life\u201d unless she got help.<\/p>\n

A source close to the family exclusively told Central Recorder: \u201cWendy\u2019s relationship with Kevin Jr has been strained. He gave her an ultimatum. He told her he won’t be in her life unless she fixes herself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The informant added their relationship has been rocky over the past few years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHer son has been doling out the\u00a0tough love, telling\u00a0Wendy, \u2018Get yourself help, mom.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
