Wendy Williams drinking alcohol again to ‘celebrate’ her ‘new lease on life’
Wendy Williams has begun imbibing again despite a trip to rehab last summer because she is celebrating a “new lease on life,” her rep tells Page Six.
“Wendy has spent most of her life in the public eye, and when is out she likes to acknowledge her fans,” Shawn Zanotti says of Williams’ boozy night out in New York City last Friday.
More specifically, the former daytime talk show host was out “celebrating the new things in her life,” which include several projects such as a podcast and a potential new series, according to the publicist.
“She is happy and wanted to celebrate as she has a new lease on life,” Zanotti continues, adding that Williams loved stopping by Midtown gay bar The Townhouse because she “loves her fans and fully supports the LGBTQ community, which is a big part of her fan base.”
In September 2022 that Williams checked back into rehab for substance abuse issues.
After nearly two months of treatment in an undisclosed facility — though she’s previously completed a program in Florida and resided in a sober-living facility in New York — she went back home and said she was “better than ever.”
