It’s no secret that Wendy Williams is battling some major health issues. But a new report published early Tuesday by the Hollywood Reporter alleges she was battling all kinds of other demons, too, amid her fall from daytime TV grace last year.

The detailed piece covers a lot of ground about what went on behind the scenes on set. The most shocking revelation comes from insiders who claim Wendy was “unraveling” while filming the last several seasons of her talk show.

One source put it bluntly to the outlet: According to several insiders, over a four-year period of shows, production staffers questioned Wendy’s sobriety before going on air on “at least 25” separate occasions.

Producers would frantically send pre-show text messages to network execs, who then had to “make an ultra-quick judgement” about whether to go live with Wendy on air or not.
