Wendy Williams has publicly reacted to her talk show coming to an end — and if the latest reports are to be believed it’s wildly different from her private reaction!

Now Wendy is speaking out about the shift, and it sounds like she’s bowing out gracefully — at least according to a statement from her rep, Howard Bragman. Per People, it reads:
“Grateful”? Huh. Explaining that the daytime diva “understands” why the decision had to be made, the statement continued:
Ah, that explains that. They promised she can come back — hence the super graceful exit!
Of course, a celeb’s private thoughts on a subject don’t always align with the statements their reps put out — and that might be the case here, folks, as a HollywoodLife source claimed Wendy was actually “blindsided” by the announcement of Sherri’s takeover!
The insider told the outlet:
Yikes. With that in mind, it almost seems like the second half of Wendy’s public statement was put there to hold them to their behind-the-scenes promises!
The confidant also explained that the lack of Wendy was costing the show and the network major bucks, sharing:
Hopefully Wendy truly isn’t taking it personally, because this really does sound like the smartest business decision!
The question is: will Sherri stay if/when Wendy is able to resume her
