“There ranges between 2-8 employees so they are focusing on each of their clients,” a source told Radar. “This isn’t the nicest place, but in terms of accommodations, it gets the job done."

Wendy broke down while revealing the news of her sober house living on the Tuesday, March 19 episode of her eponymous talk show.
"Well, for some time now and even today and beyond I have been living in a sober house,” Wendy, 54, revealed. “When you see me come to work, glammed up, right after the show I go across the street, I do my pilates. I told you, two hours a day or like to take care of my body. And you know I’ve had a struggle with cocaine in my past. I never went to a place to get the treatment. I don’t know how, except God was sitting on my shoulder and I just stopped."

She continued, "I want you to know more of the story. So, this is my autobiographical story, and I’m living it. I’m telling you this. After I go to the pilates, I go to several meetings all around town in the tri-state area. And I see my brothers and sisters caught up in their addiction and looking for help. They don’t know I’m Wendy. They don’t care I’m Wendy. There’s no autographs, there is no nothing. It’s the brothers and sisters caught up in the struggle. It’s been really interesting. This ride. Only Kevin and Kevin have known about this. Not my parents, nobody. Nobody knew."

It was later revealed that the staff wasn't surprised that something fishy was up with Wendy. “They all knew something was up but didn’t know details. The staff have all been kept at arm’s-length,” one insider told Radar.

However, the show has reportedly been in shambles for the past few months. “Everyone has been walking on eggshells,” another source said.

The insider continued, “Last week a high profiled publicist was at the show with a client and spoke to Wendy during a commercial break. Things got crazy, the publicist got pushed away by security and told by producers that they can never approach or talk to Wendy ever again."

"She’s literally isolating herself and trusts no one,” the source added.

“The staff has given her everything to make her and the show a hit, and yet, she still doesn’t trust them. It’s crazy,” the source noted.
