A spokesperson for the show announced in a statement that Williams will not record new episodes of The Wendy Williams Show next week, instead they will air repeats until they return next year: “Next week, The Wendy Williams Show will air repeats to allow Wendy to travel and be with her family at this time,” the spokesperson explained. “The show will return with original episodes on Monday, January 4th. Debmar-Mercury extends its deepest condolences to Wendy and her family.”
As we previously reported, Williams confirmed her mom’s death earlier this week in her show. She told viewers that her mother Shirley died “beautifully and peacefully” while surrounded by “love.” She added, “My mom passed away many, many, many, many weeks ago,” said Williams, 56. “You know how you lose track of the day and time? All I know was it was a long time ago. The five of us, my mom, dad, my siblings, the five of us — she will always be here.”
Williams also said her mother “didn’t suffer, not one bit” when she passed. She also remembered her as “the best mother, the best girlfriend that a girl could ever have.”
