A FRACTURED SHOULDER PLUNGED WENDY INTO DEPRESSION

Williams, 54, revealed that she became addicted to prescription pain killers after she fractured her shoulder during a confrontation with her notorious cheating husband Kevin Hunter, 47

Hunter has an ongoing and very public affair with a much younger massage therapist, Sharina Hudson, 33.

Up until her revelation, only Hunter and Williams' son Kevin, 19, had been aware of her predicament.

KEVIN HUNTER WON'T LEAVE HIS MISTRESS OR DIVORCE HIS WIFE

Although Hunter had guaranteed that his affair with Hudson was over, in December 2018 Williams hired a private eye who confirmed that the relationship was ongoing.

The revelation that her husband was still cheating tipped the celebrity over the edge, and combined with a diagnosis of Grave's Disease, opened the door to depression and addiction.

Graves is an autoimmune disorder that causes hyperthyroidism and irritability, muscle weakness, and sleeping problems.

WILLIAMS IS LIVING IN A FACILITY

Williams revealed that she has been living at a sober living facility, and that she is picked up from the facility every morning by a driver and taken to the Manhattan studio.

After the show, her husband picks her up and takes her back to the rehabilitation facility, where she spends the rest of her day and night.

Up until her revelation, only Hunter and Williams' son Kevin, 19, had been aware of her predicament.
