“I want to thank you all for your tweets and your flowers and my colleagues in this game on TV, I got all of your well wishes,” she said.

She went on to thank her fans for their concern and diffuse any rumors she ‘faked’ her fall.”For people who thought that I was [stroking out] trying to get this chair next, nope, I’m here for a long time.”Watch below:https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba9Y7DjFJHA/?tagged=wendywilliamsThe Latest:
