Dressed in a robe and blue socks, a sickly Wendy Williams was seen Friday being led into her Manhattan apartment building.
Photos show the TV host stepping out of a black SUV wearing a gold and cream robe and what look to be hospital socks as she walked on the wet New York City pavement.
Wendy, 57, wore a black mask as she was led by hand from the car to her home by her manager Bernie Young. Her son Kevin Hunter Jr, 21, was also seen entering her building behind a wheelchair and later caught an Uber to leave the home.
Wendy suffers from Graves' disease, which often causes puffy and bulging eyes.
Wendy first gave the public cause for concern in October 2017 when she collapsed on camera during a taping of her talk show.
She told her audience of her Graves' disease diagnosis in early 2018.
'My thyroid has been totally cattywampus. I feel like there are birds swimming around my head … Constantly high. But not high,' she said. 'My doctor has prescribed - are you ready? Three weeks of vacation. I was pissed. Encore performances, really?'
Wendy also revealed she was diagnosed with lymphedema in 2019.
'It's not going to kill me, but I do have a machine -and how dare you talk about the swelling of it all,' she said on her show. 'I've got it under control, and if [the swelling in] my feet and lower things never go all the way down, at least I have this machine.'
In 2018 Wendy spoke to PEOPLE about the immune system disorder.
'I feel a hundred percent better than I was a few months ago. I had a storm going in my body is the best way I can explain it,' she said at the time.
'It came from me neglecting my six-month endocrinology appointment. I have Graves' disease and hyperthyroid. If you have one you don't necessarily have to have the other, but I have both, and I was diagnosed with both 19 years ago,' Wendy said.
