Wendy Williams’health has taken a downward turn.
One week after revealing to fans that she had beenstaying in a sober living house, theWendy WilliamsShowhost has reportedly been hospitalized.
Williams, 54, was found drunk after checking herself out of the sober living house on Monday and was taken to a hospital to sober up, according toDaily Mail.
The outlet reports that at the hospital, Williams was given a banana bag, which is abag of IV fluidsused as a treatment for vitamin and electrolyte deficiencies in patients with chronic alcohol use.
The bag often contains thiamine, folic acid, magnesium and sulfate.
A representative for Williams did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Despite this, nothing appeared to be amiss when Williams appeared in her talk show Wednesday with special guestJemele Hill.
Last week, Williamsrevealed on-airthat she hadquietly been focusing on her sobriety.
“I have been living in a sober house. … You know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in the past,” she said onTheWendy WilliamsShow. “I never went to a place to get treatment … there are people in your family, it might be you … I want you to know more of the story.”
She added that her husband Kevin Hunter was the only person who knew she was seeking treatment.
On Friday, Huntergave an updateon his wife, tellingEntertainment Tonightthat Williams is “doing well.”

“We’re doing well as a family,” Hunter, 46, said in the interview. “We are moving forward with working on her sobriety and doing the work to help others, not just ourselves.”
Though Hunter was quick to share that Williams is taking the necessary steps to heal, he admitted it’s not an overnight thing.
“It is a family process,” Hunter toldEntertainment Tonight. “Anybody that has to deal with this knows this [is] a family process… and we are dealing with it and moving forward.”
Williams had been absent from her eponymous daytime talk program from January until March 4, attributing the hiatus toa fractured shoulder and her battle with aGrave’s disease, anautoimmune disease that affects the thyroid.
