‘Wendy is on sick leave and has basically been fired’: Wendy Williams Reportedly Considering Legal Action After Being Replaced by Sherri Shepherd

It has finally been announced officially that The Wendy Williams Show will be removed and replaced by Sherri Shepherd’s new self – titled show Sherri this fall, as Radar first reported. Wendy is enraged, and she is threatened with legal action.

“Wendy is on sick leave and has basically been fired. This isn’t right and Wendy isn’t going to take this,” sources informed the outlet.

“She is considering legal action again her producers and is also deciding on what to do about Sherri Shepherd. Sherri was supposed to be a friend filling in for Wendy while she was sick, but instead, Sherri stabbed Wendy in the back. If anyone thinks Wendy is going to disappear without a fight they are a fool.”

“We all have a great love and affinity for Wendy,” Debmar-Mercury Co-Presidents Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein said in a press release on Tuesday. “She grew into a true icon during her 12 incredible seasons as the sole host of a live, daily talk show dishing on ‘Hot Topics’ and interviewing celebrities.”

“Since Wendy is still not available to host the show as she continues on her road to recovery, we believe it is best for our fans, stations and advertising partners to start making this transition now. We hope to be able to work with Wendy again in the future, and continue to wish her a speedy and full recovery.”

According to Radar’s sources on Williams, the next time Marcus and Bernstein see Wendy will be in court. “You can’t just fire someone after a decade because they are sick,” remarked a friend who could not recall a specific regulation barring what had transpired.

“Wendy has been reading the news where Chris Cuomo is suing CNN for $60 million and Megyn Kelly get $60 million when she was kicked out of NBC. Knowing Wendy, she will think she can get the same amount too. This is going to get ugly. She was hired because of her big mouth, well now that big mouth is going to bite the hand that fed her.”
