Wendy Williams, dressed as the Statue of Liberty fainted towards the end of her Halloween special show on Tuesday.
The host was returning from commercial break with 10 minutes left for the live show, when seconds in she could be seen in visible distress.
The controversial 53 year old started having trouble reading the cue cards and seemed to be confused, saying ‘carest’ instead of ‘guest’
A sudden look of fear and shock then appeared in her eyes as she staggered backwards, with her hands shaking and her breathing labored.
After a long commercial break, Williams returned on air.
“That was not a stunt,” she promised. “I overheated and did pass out, but I’m a champ and I’m back.”
Moments after the incident an ambulance arrived on the scene and a wheelchair was taken out of the emergency vehicle, Dailymail reports.
An Escalade arrived a short time after and was ushered into the garage by Williams’ security team, with the smiling host being driven off soon after with her husband Kevin Hunter.
Williams ‘is dehydrated and is on her way home for a good day and night of sleep’ said her spokesperson Ronn Torrisan, who added that she was treated on the scene and is ‘well’.
