The new premiere date for the show is now going to be on Oct.4 after being pushed from its original date of Sept. 20, 2021.
While her COVID diagnosis is reportedly asymptomatic, her team stated that she would continue being quarantined via their Instagram.
"While continuing her health evaluations, Wendy has tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19, " the statement read. "To allow Wendy time to quarantine and fully recover and to ensure that our production abides by all SAG/AFTRA and DGA Covid protocols, we expect to begin the 13th season of The Wendy Williams Show on Monday, October 4th."
