Wendy Williams
It's been a difficult time for the talk show host.

This has been a rough season for Wendy Williams as her personal life has been put on display for the world to see. The talk show host has made a career on spilling the tea and gossiping about celebrity business, but currently, she's at center stage. After photos surfaced of her husband Kevin Hunter allegedly on vacation with his mistress, there were rumors that the woman recently gave birth to his child. Around the same time, Williams tearfully admitted on her show that she was staying in a sober living home to battle temptations of her addiction.

Not everyone has been sympathetic to Williams' plight. 50 Cent has continually taken to social media to knock her down a peg or two, taking advantage of Williams' downturn due to the not-so-nice remarks she's said about him over the years. Academy Award-winning actress Mo'Nique recently had a few words to say as well, suggesting that Williams was experiencing "karma" for the years of tearing people down.

“Let me make sure I’m not so high on my ass that I can say or do, rip down, rip apart, tear down, whomever I choose to because it’s part of the business...but now when the universe says, 'Oh, you know it’s your turn.' We don’t pay attention to that, we just pay attention to the mess.”

In addition to the ongoing reports about the alleged dissolution of Williams' marriage, there are also sources who claim that she's back on the wagon. Reports have surfaced that she is no longer sober and in the middle of a breakdown, but until Williams speaks on that for herself, there's no true way to tell. However, when an alleged photo of Williams surfaced showing her looking disheveled while sitting in a mobile Walmart cart, fans were concerned that the entertainer needed help. "Looks like she needs to start accepting hugs," one person wrote. "She is clearly going through a hard time on prayers for her," said another. A third person wasn't so sympathetic. "This why it ain’t good to talk about folks , tables turn on you at any moment."
