 After nearly a year out of the limelight, Wendy Williams has made a surprising return to public life. On August 19th, the beloved TV icon was spotted for the first time since her diagnosis with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Wendy, who has been out of the spotlight since the end of her talk show in 2022, was seen at a holistic wellness store in New Jersey with her 24-year-old son, Kevin Hunter Jr.





The rare sighting comes six months after Wendy’s healthcare team revealed her serious health
 conditions in a statement on February 22nd. The statement emphasized the challenging decision to share this news, not only to foster understanding and compassion but also to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Wendy later addressed her diagnosis publicly, expressing her gratitude for the overwhelming support and the importance of compassion.



In an emotional turn, Wendy’s health journey was highlighted in her lifetime documentary series, Where Is Wendy Williams? The series includes a touching moment where Black Chyna visits Wendy, leading to a heart-to-heart conversation. In a moment of raw honesty, Wendy removes her wig to reveal her real hair, discussing her personal struggles and expressing her appreciation for Chyna’s support.
