00:00Wendy Williams made an emotional announcement on Tuesday revealing to her
00:13audience that she's been secretly living in a sober house while continuing to
00:17host her daytime talk show. The TV personality has been open about her past
00:20struggles with addiction and cocaine use. Now Williams is revealing that after
00:24she shoots her show, she does Pilates and then goes to several meetings around
00:28town where she sees her brothers and sisters caught up in their addiction and
00:32they're looking for help. The host says she is then driven by her 24-hour sober
00:36coach to the home where she's been living.
00:37So this is my autobiographical story and I'm living it and I'm telling you this.
00:43Williams also revealed that the only two people who knew she was living in a sober
00:47house up until now were her husband and their teenage son.
00:49Either you're calling me crazy or the bravest woman you know. I don't care.
00:53The host concluded her message by urging those who are either struggling or know
00:57someone struggling with addiction to seek help through organizations like her
01:00non-profit the Hunter Foundation who recently launched a new number 8885
