Williams — who is alsoentangled in a legal battle with her bank, Wells Fargo— opened up about her decision to host a podcast in an interview withTMZin June.
The new podcast comes after a difficult period in Williams' life. Last fall,a series of health issuesprevented her from hosting her talk show. The season 13 premiere was delayed twice before carrying on with a carousel of guest hosts, includingLeah ReminiandMichael Rapaport.
Sherri Shepherdultimately rose above the pack,garnering season-high ratingsin her first month of guest-hosting.
Shepherd continued to guest-host Williams' program through its Juneseries finale(in whichWilliams did not take part) and later announced she’d be hostinga talk showof her own, which is set to debut on Sept. 13.

Williams recently toldThe New York Postthat"there was nothing I liked" about her show’s end.
“[The show’s syndication company, Debmar-Mercury] didn’t ask me to do that, so I didn’t,” she said at the time. “I sat in my apartment and I watched it. And [I was] like, ‘Eek!'”
“Debmar-Mercury, in my opinion, should have done it with [me], not these other people onTheWendy WilliamsShow. Except forFat Joe,” she added.
