Wendy Williams makes first public appearance in over a year: Viral pics

Wendy Williams was recently spotted for the first time in over a year at a holistic store in Newark, New Jersey. The 60-year-old iconic gossip show host visited Bolingo Balance, a wellness shop run by Victor Bowman, the son of the late holistic health advocate Dr Sebi.

According to a Page Six report, Williams visited the store about a week ago. She was accompanied by her son Kevin Hunter Jr. An employee at the shop described Williams as "sharp, upbeat and aware" during her visit, adding that she was "very bubbly" and engaged in a conversation with Bowman about the store's health products.

The employee revealed that Williams enquired mostly about products that improve circulation. Williams didn't want to share too much on her first visit so she promised to visit again for in-depth counselling.

"She talked about circulation improvement," the employee told the publication. "But didn’t want to get into too much detail on their first meeting and plans to come back in the near future."

Bowman gifted a ton of holistic products to Williams. The goodie bag included iron-rich herbs such as sarsaparilla, contribo and bottano oil. She also got capsules designed to promote hormonal balance and mental well-being.

Bowman later shared a photo of himself with Williams on his Facebook page on August 19, who has been largely out of the public eye since March 2023.

Williams has, unfortunately, faced several health challenges in the last two years. She has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. She has also been battling Graves' Disease and Lymphedema.

In 2022, Williams was placed under court-ordered guardianship following concerns raised by her bank Wells Fargo about "undue influence and financial exploitation". The guardianship restricted her family's access to her. In July, her family said that they were still “denied contact” with her.
