"It’s been building up and has now reached the point where Wendy can’t even function properly,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.
The
glamorous host has blamed her bizarre wobbles and unsteadiness on a diagnosis of Graves’ disease, but sources insisted her medical crisis was triggered by struggles with her husband of 20 years,

decade! Photo credit: Getty Images/Files
“She doesn’t know what her next move will be yet, but that’s what she needs to figure out,” whispered our mole. “She’s very confused and conflicted and in deep emotional pain.”
The ENQUIRER first reported Kevin’s secret romance with
Sharina Hudson, a massage therapist, in September 2017.

Wendy laughed off our reports, but privately she’s been rocked by his betrayal — and he’s brazenly continued the romance! “Everyone knows about their affair, but they’ve not made any effort to tone it down,” said the source. “This has been a humiliating slap in Wendy’s face.

“She’s known for a long time her marriage wasn’t perfect and that her husband was stepping out on her," the insider spilled. "But now her friends and co-workers know, too — and the pressure is overwhelming!” While Wendy has tried to put on a brave face, pals said the stress is literally killing her!

Fears grew when Wendy collapsed during a live broadcast on Oct. 31 (ldeft), and
more recently on Feb. 12, she desperately latched onto a guest to save herself from crashing to the studio floor!
“Both of her on-screen wobbles happened around the time of media attention into her private life,” squealed the insider. “People are pointing the blame at Kevin and his blatant disregard for his wife’s feelings.”

While Wendy’s rep denied The ENQUIRER’s report and said she has been dealing with her Graves’ disease for many years in addition to hyperthyroidism, our sources claimed the couple had “a blow-out fight just days before she announced the hiatus.”

Said our snitch: “She told Kevin he needs to respect her — or else she’ll see him in divorce court. She certainly has a case.”

The ENQUIRER also learned Kevin splits his time living with Sharina in a posh $765,000 pad he paid for in Morristown, N.J. — and insiders claimed Sharina’s had two abortions during their affair! Added the insider: “It’s all too much for Wendy. Now she's the ‘Hot Topic!’”
