Williams told her audience that having a glamorous life helped to hide her struggles, adding that she was a cocaine addict for ten years, but never went to rehab.

The mother of one credited her quitting cocaine to God, who she said sat “On her shoulder.” Going on with her reveal, the host said she went to the Bronx for meetings with her 24-hours sober coach.

Those she met at the meetings did not care about her social status, and afterward, the coach droved Williams to a home in the Tristate, where she stayed with boys with poor hygiene. The revelation ended with the queen of tea saying that the Hunters Foundation so far, has helped put fifty-six persons in rehabilitation homes.
