‘Upbeat’ Wendy Williams spotted for the first time in more than a year at New Jersey holistic store
Wendy Williams was spotted for the first time in over a year at a holistic store in New Jersey.
An employee at Bolingo Balance in Newark exclusively told Page Six that the former “Wendy Williams Show” star visited the shop — which is ran by the late Dr. Sebi’s son Victor Bowman — about a week ago with her son, Kevin Hunter Jr.
We’re told Williams was “sharp, upbeat and aware” and “very bubbly” during the visit. She even had a sit-down with Bowman to discuss the health products.
The famed gossip queen, 60, was “engaging but wasn’t as familiar with what we do here, so her son was more explaining things,” the worker told us.
“She talked about circulation improvement but didn’t want to get into too much detail on their first meeting and plans to come back in the near future.”
The employee told Page Six that Bowman gifted Williams with several holistic products, including iron-rich herbs such as sarsaparilla, contribo and bottano oil, which they told us is “big for skin.”
Williams also received Dr. Sebi’s son’s capsules, which are said to promote overall hormonal balance and mental wealth.
Bowman shared a photo of himself and the former radio show host on his Facebook page on Aug. 19.
Williams has been keeping a low profile since March 2023, which is the last time she was publicly photographed.
At the time, the mom of one was dressed in all black as she headed back to her apartment in New York City.
In recent years, Williams has been dealing with several health ailments which have forced her out of the limelight.
In February, her team announced that she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, as well as aphasia.
Williams, who is also battling Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema, underwent tests in 2023 after her memory started to fail and she began to “lose words” and “act erratically,” according to a press release.
At the time of her diagnosis, the “Dancing with the Stars” alum was in an undisclosed treatment center where her family claims they were unable to reach her.
In 2022, Williams was placed under court-ordered guardianship after her bank, Wells Fargo, sent a letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth requesting a hearing about her well-being.
An attorney for the financial institution wrote that they have a “strong reason to believe” Williams was a “victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.”
In July, Williams’ family said they were still “denied contact” with her due to the guardianship.
