Wendy Williams has decided to stay away from the public eye due to her “ongoing health difficulties.”

The talk show host announced on Thursday that she is taking a break from work in a message posted to her show’s Instagram account.

The statement added, ” Wendy is dealing with some persistent health difficulties and is receiving further evaluations.” “She won’t be able to finish her promotional duties next week, but she can’t wait to be back in her purple chair for the 13th season debut on Monday, September 20th.”

The 57-year-old TV star took a break from work in May of last year owing to underlying health difficulties related to her Graves’ disease.

The celebrity has been “suffering from symptoms from her Graves condition, which is causing exhaustion,” a spokesperson for The Wendy Williams Show told PEOPLE at the time.

Williams first revealed her Graves’ disease diagnosis to the public in February 2018, when she said that she would be taking a break from work after physicians recommended a “three-week sabbatical.”
