The 54-year-old TV personality made the tearful announcement on her daytime syndicated talk show, The Wendy Williams Show on Tuesday.
“I have been living in a sober house. … You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in the past,” she said on the show. “I never went to a place to get treatment … there are people in your family, it might be you … I want you to know more of the story.”
She added that her husband Kevin Hunter was the only person who knew she was seeking treatment.
“Only Kevin knows about this. Not my parents, nobody. Nobody knew because I look so glamorous out here,” she says. “I am driven by my 24-hour sober coach back to a home that I live in the tri-state with a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family.”
At the facility, it’s “doors locked by 10 p.m. lights out by 10 p.m., so I go to my room and stare at the ceiling and fall asleep to come here and see you,” she continues. “So that is my truth.”
