The announcement comes after Williams had to bow out of promotional activities because of “ongoing health issues” that required “further evaluations.”
A source told Page Six:
People are tight-lipped about it, but there are whispers that she won’t be there.
In a conversation with Dr. Oz in March, Williams expressed hesitancy about getting the COVID-19 jab.
She said:
No. I don’t trust it…I’ve never gotten the flu shot either, though, and you and I have talked about that. Several of the doctors on my team have told me, ‘Wendy, get the flu shot.’ I’ve never had the flu. I’m not getting a flu shot. I very rarely get a cold. I never have headaches. I don’t take aspirin because I feel my heart murmur or something like that. I’m not getting it — no! I don’t trust it. There, I said it.
In May, however, Williams announced that her live studio audience would be able to return on June 1 only if they were fully vaccinated.
