Wendy Williams addressed her recent behavior on "The Wendy Williams Show" after fans expressed concerns about her behavior and health on her daytime program.

“I always say I love you for watching ‘cause I really, really do. I come here every day and I try to do the best that I can for you,” the host said on Monday. “I appreciate you watching, but even after all of these years, it’s still work. An effort put in for the hour I’m out here, you know? I guess every day is not perfect, but I’m not a perfectionist. I’m not perfect.”

She continued, “I do appreciate you putting in the effort to watch us, and I love entertaining you. You know? It’s not easy. It is not easy, you’re a tough crowd.”

After Friday's episode, viewers commented on how Williams seemed to trail off and lose focus while talking. When she appeared confused, her producer Norman Baker tried to steer the conversation back on course.

William's former show DJ, DJ Boof, spoke out online about her health and behavior writing, “Yup exactly and it will all come out... Y’all have no idea what’s really going on and everyone there is afraid to speak up because they don’t wanna lose their jobs ... this is going to play out bad ... I feel sorry for the workers and victims.”

He was replaced by DJ Suss One.
