Wendy Williams Ready For 'Big Comeback On TV,' Looks 'Vibrant' During NYC Sighting: Report

Wendy Williams was in good spirits when she was spotted in New York City this week.

The "Wendy Williams Show" host stepped out for dinner with financial expert and TV personality Baruch Shemtov, her niece Alex Finnie and Finnie's boyfriend Eric Houston at Fresco by Scotto in the Big Apple Wednesday night, Page Six reported.

During the outing, the 57-year-old TV personality was overheard saying she was ready to make a "big comeback on TV," according to the report.

Williams also talked about her finances amid her ongoing legal battle with Wells Fargo, unnamed witnesses told the outlet.

"Wendy was talking to Baruch about her situation with Wells Fargo, and she confidently said, 'I'm getting my money back very soon,'" one onlooker said.

In photos published by Page Six, Williams sported a huge grin as paparazzi took her photos. She wore a black sweatshirt, denim shorts and a pair of black fur boots and carried a Louis Vuitton handbag on her arm.

The eatery's co-owner, "Good Day New York" anchor Rosanna Scotto, greeted Williams warmly at the restaurant, and "people were excited to see her out," insiders told the outlet.

"She's ready to get back to work," a second source said. "When you hear her talk… anyone who's known her for years, knows they're getting a Wendy who's ready to work. She's really in good form."

Another eyewitness told Page Six that Williams looked "vibrant" and healthy, following reports of health problems that caused her to delay her return to "The Wendy Williams Show."

"She looks great. No one was helping her. It was very different from the person who we've seen in the wheelchair," the third anonymous source said. "She was walking by herself. No one helped her get in her car. She climbed right in and it was a Suburban."

Williams' priority at the moment is getting access to her money from Wells Fargo, which froze her accounts in February amid claims that she needs guardianship. The insider claimed that things are already "in the works," and Williams is "coming back to TV and she is getting her money back."

Earlier this week, Williams' lawyer LaShawn Thomas told E! News that while the TV host can pay for food and other necessities, she still has no access to her money at Wells Fargo and cannot "log into her online accounts and see what's going on with her assets." She also couldn't check "what items have been deducted from her accounts," the attorney claimed.

In February, Williams denied the allegations about her mental health and well-being and filed a temporary restraining order against the bank for allegedly denying her access to her financial assets without "adequate explanation or evidence to support its decision."

Wells Fargo has denied "any allegations of improper actions with respect to Ms. Williams’ accounts."

The "Ask Wendy" author has been holed up in Miami, Florida, for months amid her ongoing health issues and professional struggles after losing her eponymous show. But Williams is back in New York "for the foreseeable future," an unnamed source told Page Six.

Sherri Shepherd's new show "Sherri" is set to inherit the time slot of Williams' talk show in fall 2022.

Mort Marcus and Ira Bernstein, co-presidents of Debmar-Mercury, the company that produces "The Wendy Williams Show," said in February that it was a "bitter-sweet moment" for them. However, they decided to make the transition as Williams was still not available to host her show amid her recovery journey.

However, Page Six's first source is confident that Williams will succeed in her comeback because she has an "incredible fanbase," including Gen Z.

"She's planting her roots back in New York and you’ll see a lot more of her. She's very comfortable and is enjoying life again. She took some time off and now she's 'out with the old and in with the new.' It’s like a rebirth," the source added.
