Wendy Williams passed out during a live taping of her “The Wendy Williams Show” on Tuesday morning.
Williams fainted in the midst of the program’s annual “How You Doin’ Halloween Costume Contest”. In a clip which surfaced online she can be seen slurring her words, swaying back and forth, before falling to the floor.
After going on a commercial break, Williams returned and shared with the audience that she had become overheated in her Statue of Liberty costume and then finished hosting the show.
“That was not a stunt,” she said. “I overheated in my costume. I did pass out. But you know what, I’m a champ and I’m back.”
