In a very honest moment, Wendy Williams told her audience she's been living in a sober home. The moment came while she was talking about her non-profit that focuses on drug addiction.

Williams, a US daytime talk show host, explained that after filming, she does her pilates, and then attends several addiction meetings to observe before being taken to the sober house.

The only people who knew were her husband and son.


Williams talked about her previous addiction to cocaine, particularly how she never received treatment for it and was able to stop on her own in the past.

Her statements did not confirm or deny if her living situation was to ensure she doesn't relapse, or if it was to get a better sense of people who do have to go through therapy to become sober.

As she described it,

"You know I've had a struggle with cocaine in my past, and 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.
"There are people in your family, it might be you, who've been struggling and I wanted to know more of the story. So this is my autobiographical story and I'm living it."

People online have praised Williams for giving these people a voice.





Williams continues her emotional talk, detailing her daily routine.

"After I go to the Pilates and 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.
"It's the brothers and sisters caught up in the struggle. It's been really interesting, this ride."

Afterwards, she says she's driven by her 24-hour sober coach to the house, where she stays. Her roommates are a "bunch of smelly boys" who she says have become like family.

Doors are locked at 10pm, before she wakes up the next morning to host her show.

As Williams states,

"Either you're calling me crazy or the bravest woman you know. I don't care."

Many would side with the 'brave' option.





As Williams described living in a sober house, she brought up The Hunter Foundation she started with her husband, Kevin Hunter. The non-profit works to give grants to help people with drug rehabilitation and educational programs.

Irredeemable.

Evil, even.

But the concept of what is evil depends on the individual and their level of tolerance.

So what is pure evil then?

It's not always about demons. Because the truth is, humans are capable of doing some of the worst things imaginable.

It's a sad truth that just about all women find their bodies objectified or, for better or worse, the unwanted subject of conversation.

One of the many reasons why too many women are self-conscious about their bodies and suffer from sometimes crippling body image issues.

More often than not, women often find themselves most self-conscious about a part of their body or appearance most people will never notice, or even see.

But much to their surprise, sometimes it is that very thing they hate most about themselves that others might find most beautiful about them.

It's amazing to think how, as times change, so do the quality of products.

But this also includes items that were once considered commonplace that are now seen as vintage or even luxury.

For those who were around at the time when an item was first introduced, it can be surprising to see how the availability of that item changes over time, and even frustrating when it becomes increasingly expensive.
