VIDEO: Wendy Williams faints live on TV in overheating Halloween costume

Wendy Williams fainted during her live syndicated television broadcast on Tuesday, quickly recovering to return for her show’s final segment. While wearing a Statue of Liberty costume, Williams began to introduce a costume contest, but stumbled through the script before looking stunned, wobbling back a few steps, and passing out to the floor. See video below.

Several minutes later, the show returned with her back on-camera, addressing the audience: “That was not a stunt. I’m overheated in my costume and I did pass out. But, you know what, I’m a champ, and I’m back,” she said to rapturous applause.
