How you doin’, Wendy Williams?
The TV personality, who retreated from the spotlight after her eponymous talk show came to an end in 2022, made a rare public appearance with her son 24-year-old Kevin Hunter Jr. on Aug. 19, visiting a holistic wellness store in her home state of New Jersey.Â
As seen in a photo shared on African Bio Mineral Cell Food’s Instagram account, Wendy—rocking long orange hair, a navy blouse and white boots—posed with owner Victor Bowman while holding a shopping bag and a large bouquet or colorful roses.Â
The sighting came six months after Wendy’s healthcare team shared that she had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, neurological syndromes that impact speech and cognitive functions.
“The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy,” they said in a Feb. 22 statement, “but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances.”
