Wendy Williams was in the mood to try new things and stepped into the spotlight on "The Masked Singer," where she performed Odyssey's "Native New Yorker." But that performance appeared to have been her last as she was eliminated.

The show host reportedly said in an interview that she is not a singer nor a dancer and was happy to have been able to perform. Williams said she chose to dress as Lips because she is a talker.

She might have done an excellent job holding still but could not stop her fans from identifying her. According to reports, the moment Lips (Williams) dedicated her performance of Odyssey's "Native New Yorker" to "The City that never sleeps, " it became clear to her fans that she was the face behind the mask.

Fans of the talk host were concerned about her behavior on the show and took to social media to raise their concerns. The 56-year-old was said to have mispronounced Adele's name and did not look her usual self in one of the show's episodes.

Williams responded to these concerns and acknowledged that she was not perfect and was neither a perfectionist but thanked her fans for always turning up on her show.

The TV star is open about her private life with her fans and has previously discussed personal issues on the show. From talking about living in a sober house in 2019 and her divorce from Kevin Hunter, which was finalized this year, Williams has bared it all to her fans.

Following their divorce, Williams and ex-husband reportedly sold their New Jersey mansion, which they shared for over a decade. The couple sold the estate for $1,475,000, over $400,000 less than the original asking price of $1,895,000.

Aside from her divorce, Williams has also had to face some health challenges and was asked to take a break from her eponymous talk show as a precautionary measure.
