“Optimistic” Wendy Williams spotted for the first time in over a year

Wendy Williams was spotted at a holistic store in New Jersey for the first time in over a year.

An employee at Bolingo Balance in Newark told Page Six exclusively that the former “Wendy Williams Show” star visited the store, which is run by Victor Bowman, son of the late Dr. Sebi, about a week ago with her son, Kevin Hunter Jr.

We’re told Williams was “alert, optimistic and attentive” and “very animated” during the visit. She even met with Bowman to discuss the health products.

The 60-year-old famous gossip was “interesting, but didn’t really know what we were doing here, so her son had to explain things to her,” the employee told us.

“She talked about improving circulation but didn’t want to go into too much detail during her first meeting and plans to return in the near future.”

The employee told Page Six that Bowman gifted Williams several holistic products, including iron-rich herbs like sarsaparilla, contribo and bottano oil, which they told us were “great for the skin.”

Williams also received capsules from Dr. Sebi’s son that are said to promote overall hormonal balance and mental well-being.

Bowman shared a photo of himself and the former radio host on his Facebook page on August 19.

Williams has been keeping a low profile since March 2023, the last time she was photographed in public.

At the time, the mother of one was dressed all in black as she made her way to her apartment in New York City.

In recent years, Williams has struggled with several health issues that have forced her out of the spotlight.

In February, her team announced that she had been diagnosed with both frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.

Williams, who also suffers from Graves’ disease and lymphedema, underwent tests in 2023 after her memory deteriorated and she began “losing her words” and “acting erratically,” a press release said.

At the time of her diagnosis, the former “Dancing with the Stars” star was in an undisclosed treatment center, where her family said they were unable to reach her.

In 2022, Williams was placed under court-ordered conservatorship after her bank, Wells Fargo, sent a letter to New York Supreme Court Justice Arlene Bluth requesting a hearing on her welfare.

A lawyer for the financial institution wrote that there were “strong reasons to believe” that Williams was “a victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.”

In July, Williams’ family said they were still “barred” from contacting her due to her conservatorship.
