The 54-year-old's husband, Kevin Hunter, in an interview with Kevin Frazier of Entertainment Tonight revealed his position as regards the recently disclosed battle with addiction by Wendy. He started by calming the fear of fans about Wendy's well-being as he says,

“Wendy is doing well. We’re doing well as a family."

"So, this is my autobiographical story, and I'm living it. I'm telling you this," Williams said with tears.

She went further to say:

"I am driven by my 24-hour sober coach back to the home that I live in, here in the tri-state with a bunch of smelly boys who have become my family."

The home's lights are turned off, and it is locked by 10 p.m. daily. Williams further talked about what she does after going in.

"So I go to my room, and I stare at the ceiling and I fall asleep to wake up and come back here to see you. So that is my truth," Wendy said. "I know, either you are calling me crazy or the bravest woman you know. I don't care."
