WENDY Williams has told friends that her highly-publicized podcast has been canceled before it even launched.
A source close to the former TV host exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Wendy Williams, whose podcast project was officially announced over summer 2022, recently told friends “there is no podcast.”

“It’s strange, because she is saying there is no podcast, but is also telling people she’s going to return to TV.
“It’s hard to figure out what is based in reality.”
An Instagram to promote The Wendy Experience podcast launched in July of 2022, and it contains a link to a website selling merchandise with the star’s catchphrases and podcast branding.
However, the site’s Read More section about the podcast leads to a broken link that announces the “account is suspended.”
The last time Wendy herself publicly addressed the project was back in November 2022, at a WBLS event.
She told the audience that The Wendy Experience Podcast will launch “in the next few weeks.”
Wendy, who spent two months in a Malibu rehab after checking in for alleged severe alcoholism, was out drinking and barhopping this past week.
WENDY’S NIGHT OUT
One source had exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun that Wendy was “drinking cosmos” with a group she had met earlier that evening in New York City on Friday, March 17.
The source claimed Wendy was “completely by herself” with the exception of her driver and bodyguard when she arrived at Fresco by Scotto.
“She was staring off into the distance until someone she knew happened to walk in.”
Later on in the evening, the group headed to the gay bar Townhouse.
“When the bartender asked her what she wanted to drink, she simply said, ‘Something to get me drunk,'” the onlooker added.

In a statement, Wendy’s rep told The U.S. Sun: “Wendy was celebrating her upcoming new opportunities, she wanted to celebrate as she has things happening, making her feel like she has a new lease on life.”
“There are several projects coming down the pipeline and she was celebrating those things. Wendy loves her fans and fully supports the LGBTQ community which is a big part of her fan base,” the statement concluded.
WENDY’S ROUGH ROAD
Wendy has had a tough go in recent years.
A financial guardian officially took control of her finances back in May of 2022 following a myriad of health issues.
She also lost her iconic daytime talk show just months later, in June.
In December, The U.S. Sun revealed the identity of the guardian in control of Wendy’s assets: guardianship expert and attorney Sabrina Morrissey.
Multiple sources and court filings show the guardian is in charge of the 58-year-old former TV host’s estate and as a result, she is responsible for who in Wendy’s orbit can receive money and payments from her fortune.
The top-notch expert’s biography heralded Sabrina’s expertise in “estate administration, guardianships, and litigation.”
“Passionate about representing elderly clients and protecting them from fraud and abuse, she appears regularly on their behalf in the New York state courts, helping them to obtain appropriate support in the home, safeguard their assets, and plan for the future,” her biography read.
In court documents that were previously exclusively revealed by The U.S. Sun, Wendy’s ex-husband Kevin, petitioned a judge in their divorce case to order the guardian to resume his alimony payments that ceased in February.
Additionally, her son Kevin Hunter Jr. alluded to the guardian’s tight control on Wendy’s money when he was evicted from his luxury apartment in September after his mother’s finances were frozen in February- leaving him unable to keep up with his steep $6,800 monthly rent.
One source close to the situation told The U.S. Sun that Kevin Jr. was not enrolled in college in the spring and that in part impacted his ability to access certain funds that were earmarked by Wendy to assist in his schooling.
The insider said the guardian, in cutting the son off financially, reasoned that while not enrolled in school, the 22-year-old “can get a job.”
One source close to the situation also revealed that Sabrina also played a key part in facilitating Wendy’s recent two-month stay in the Malibu rehabilitation facility.
