Wendy Williams Fights Back: Host Suing Producers After Being ‘Fired’ From Own Show
Wendy Williams seems to be fine with someone else taking over her show and schedule over the last few days.
But that might not be the case because she believes she has been sacked from her own show.
The former host of "The Wendy Williams Show," according to Radar Online, is considering legal action after Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus announced that the 57-year-old and her show would be replaced by Sherri Shepherd's upcoming show "Sherri," which will debut in the fall.
Wendy was simply on sick leave, according to the individual who spoke to the outlet, but it now appears that she has been fired.
"This isn't right, and Wendy will not accept it."
She is now rumored to be planning on suing the producers of the show and contemplating what she would do to Sherri.
Because, at first, the former "The View" host was simply standing in for a sick friend. Wendy, on the other hand, believes Sherri stabbed her in the back.
"If anyone thinks Wendy is going to disappear without a struggle, they are a fool," the source continued.
On February 22, executives declared that they would no longer be working with Wendy Williams at the moment.
They stated that because Wendy is unable to return to the show due to her health, they believe it is best for their fans, advertisers, and station partners to "make this transition now."
Their statement went on to say that they intended to work with Wendy again in the future and wished her a swift and complete recovery.
They also commended the media figure for maturing into a true icon capable of completing 12 seasons on her own, as well as a brilliant host who hosted "Hot Topics" and interviewed celebrities.
Wendy Williams, despite their good wishes, couldn't take their choice lightly, according to the source.
"You can't just fire someone because they've been unwell for a decade."
Wendy Williams Fires Entire Management Team
Wendy Williams reportedly dismissed her whole management staff after learning she would be losing her show.
According to The Sun, she is only communicating with her son, Kevin Hunter Jr., and her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter.
Wendy is said to have fired both her long-term manager, Bernie Young, and her crisis manager, Howard Bragman.
The two experts do not have a way to contact her and were unable to contact her at all.
