Wendy Williams was taken to the hospital after she was found drunk, her relapse sparked by the birth of husband Kevin Hunter’s love child with his younger mistress, DailyMail.com can reveal. Pictured: The TV host leaving her studio on Tuesday afternoon

Trooper Wendy didn't seem worse for wear on her show on Tuesday morning but she's still torn up over her husband Kevin Hunter having a baby. 'Wendy was in a bad way so everyone was amazed that she made it in to the studio this morning to do the show,' the source added

It's understood the star's sober coach, who had been with her 24 hours a day, raised the alarm. Wendy was spotted looking downtrodden leaving her sober house on Monday morning (pictured) and noticeably absent was her wedding ring

It's understood Wendy was given a banana bag - a bag of IV fluids containing vitamins and minerals which helps clear a person's system and sober them up. The solution has a yellow color hence the term 'banana bag'.

'Wendy was in a bad way so everyone was amazed that she made it in to the studio this morning to do the show,' the source added.

DailyMail.com reached out to Wendy's representatives for comment but received no response. 

Trooper Wendy didn't seem worse for wear on her show on Tuesday morning but she's still torn up over her husband Kevin Hunter having a baby.

Hunter's massage therapist mistress Hudson, 33, is believed to have given birth to a little girl last week. She was discharged from the hospital on Sunday, according to reports. 

Wendy was spotted looking downtrodden leaving her sober house on Monday morning and noticeably absent was her wedding ring. However, by the time her show aired, she slipped it on. She did the same thing again on Tuesday. 

The source says Wendy is keeping her ring on during filming until she has worked out what to do, but takes it off once outside of the studio.

'Wendy is considering divorcing Kevin. She's really distraught over the situation, she knew about Sharina but didn't think a baby would arrive, she didn't think Kevin would go this far, she's lost and everyone is worried for her,' they added. 

Wendy's downward spiral comes a week after DailyMailTV revealed she had been living in a sober home for a prescription drug and alcohol addiction after learning Hunter was still seeing Hudson.

Williams previously addressed her marriage troubles on her show and just earlier this month defended it, saying: 'Marriages are not easy. And don't ask me about mine until you see [my wedding ring] gone - it ain't going anywhere, not in this lifetime.' 

Hunter's mistress reportedly gave birth to a baby girl Wednesday, March 20 and is staying at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia. 

Hunter is allegedly paying cash for her hospital stay and checked in using an alias. 

Just last week, DailyMailTV exclusively revealed that Hunter told his mistress he can't leave his wife of 22 years because she paid all the bills and is having the affair right under Williams' nose. 

It's understood the affair is at the root of 54-year-old Williams' dependence on alcohol and prescription drugs after she finally admitted on Tuesday she's living in a sober house to tackle her demons after being contacted by DailyMailTV for comment.

Hunter's mistress has given her married boyfriend several ultimatums, insisting he leave Williams so they can settle down and start a family together, according to a source close to the couple. 

But Hunter - who manages his TV star wife's career and runs a production company they jointly own - has given her a reality check and insists on continuing to juggle both women.

Williams was spotted in this photo last Wednesday leaving the sober house wearing the same jacket and holding the same bag, but sporting her large wedding band. This photo was taken the same day her husband's mistress allegedly gave birth 

Wendy's downward spiral comes a week after DailyMailTV revealed she had been living in a sober living home for a prescription drug and alcohol addiction after learning Hunter was still seeing Hudson 

Williams defended her marriage on her show earlier this month, saying: 'Marriages are not easy. And don't ask me about mine until you see [my wedding ring] gone - it ain't going anywhere, not in this lifetime'

'Kevin is in love with Sharina but he told her he can't leave his wife, but the only reason he is still with Wendy is because he and Sharina can't take care of themselves - they need her money,' a source told DailyMailTV.

'Sharina has given Kevin several ultimatums over the years and he's had to point out, ''we can't afford to take care of ourselves''. 

'She's living in a very nice apartment in Manhattan he pays for and he got her a studio in midtown for one of her many businesses that he supports.

'He put her through school to be a massage therapist, he opened a kiosk for her at a mall in North Carolina where she's from.

'He helped her set up a jewelry and clothing line online called VISH. But none of her businesses have been a success.'

This comes as new intimate photos obtained by DailyMailTV show Hunter and his mistress getting up close and personal.  

In a recent snapshot seen by DailyMailTV, the pair pose up next to each other in bed surrounded by white pillows and white sheets.

Hunter is shirtless while Hudson appears to be wearing a tube-top night dress and flicks a peace sign at the camera.

In other shots seen here, the pair are lounging on what appears to be a double sun bed while on vacation together.

Hudson is wearing a bright pink bikini, large sunglasses and sun hat while Hunter is shirtless and smiling next to her.

Before Hunter moved his mistress into a Manhattan apartment, Hudson was living in this suburban $765,000 four-bed, 3,900 sq ft single family home in Morristown, New Jersey - where both of their names were listed on the mailbox 

And before moving Hudson into the stately home in the suburbs, Hunter had Sharina living in this $700,000 luxury two-bed condo 30 miles away in Fort Lee, New Jersey

Hunter told his much younger mistress that he couldn't leave Wendy because his multi-millionaire wife financed his luxury lifestyle, DailyMailTV can reveal. Recently Hunter has been seen driving around this brand new green Rolls Royce SUV, which costs upwards of $325,000

DailyMailTV learned the TV host confronted Hunter about his mistress after she hired a private detective and told him: 'Don't you dare humiliate me.' 

But the situation caused her to spiral out of control and turn to booze and drugs.

Last week Williams broke down in tears on her show, admitting she had been living at a sober home and was attending meetings around New York City.

Her confession came hours after DailyMailTV contacted her rep to seek comment about the story after we discovered she was staying overnight at a private facility run by the Pure Recovery Network in Queens to treat her addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs.

The revelation flies in the face of Williams' public claim her extended break from The Wendy Williams Show was for 'medical reasons'.

She later clarified that she was grappling with complications surrounding her Graves' disease, which effects the thyroid, and a fractured shoulder.

But it's now clear Williams' personal problems run much deeper.

On Tuesday, DailyMailTV reported her relapse was sparked last December when the star hired a private investigator to spy on her cheating husband who she suspected was still carrying on with his mistress Hudson.

In 2017, Hudson had been at the center of a DailyMailTV expose revealing her ten-year affair with Williams' husband. 

It was revealed last week that Wendy was staying overnight at a private facility run by the Pure Recovery Network in Queens, New York to treat her addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. She is seen entering the halfway house after filming her talk show on Wednesday, March 13

Hunter was discovered splitting his time between his family's home in Livingston, New Jersey, and a luxury $700,000 two-bedroom condo he owned 30 miles away in Fort Lee, New Jersey, where Hudson was living there from 2015. 

Fast forward to September 2017 and Hunter had moved his mistress to a suburban $765,000 four-bed, 3,900 sq ft single family home in Morristown, New Jersey - where both of their names were listed on the mailbox.

Hunter has since moved Hudson into a luxe apartment in New York City. 

In December, after being told the secret affair was still very much alive, Wendy confronted Hunter demanding to know why he was still seeing the qualified massage therapist.

During the heated clash, it's believed Williams fell and hit her shoulder on the ground, suffering a hairline fracture.

Devastated, Williams quickly plunged into a depression while recovering from the injury and began drinking heavily and popping pills.

And instead of returning to her show in the new year, Williams flew to Delray Beach, Florida, where she checked into a luxury detox and rehab facility.

Shockingly, the source reveals that when Williams' husband visited his wife in rehab he took his mistress along for a mini-break. 

'Kevin flew to Florida to visit his wife and took Sharina with him,' the source said. 'She stayed at the hotel while he went to see Wendy during the day.' 

The source says that whenever Hunter takes his wife on vacation, his mistress is usually there too.

'Wendy knows about Sharina but is willing to put up with it as long as there's an understanding that there will be no baby and she doesn't get humiliated,' a source told DailyMail

'Every time he takes Wendy to Miami for the weekend, Sharina travels separately and stays at another hotel down the street,' the source said. 

The source added that Williams has been 'brainwashed' by her husband.

'He controls everything, he takes her phone, she has zero friends, she's not in regular contact with her family. He controls every aspect of her life because he's insecure,' the source said.

'His only skill is spending her money and the money trickles down to Sharina.

'Wendy's attitude is disgusting so no one has sympathy for her. 

'She started deteriorating on the show in plain view, but she fed her fans this story about Graves' disease, and now it comes out that it was alcohol and drugs all along.'

DailyMailTV reached out to Williams' rep for comment but none was provided. 

Wendy Williams is being treated at a sober living residential facility in Queens, New York, for alcohol and prescription drugs addictions, DailyMailTV can reveal. She is seen entering the halfway house after filming her talk show on Wednesday, March 13

Over the past two weeks since returning to the show, DailyMailTV has observed Williams being picked up from the facility every morning by a driver at 7am and taken to the Manhattan studio.

Once her show is finished in the early afternoon her husband collects her, usually in a brand new green Rolls Royce SUV, and takes her back to the halfway house.

'There are some shady characters coming and going from that place, it's on a residential street above a barbershop,' one observer told DailyMail.com. 

'You see recovering drug addicts standing outside having a smoke, it looks like four or five people are staying there at any one time.

'It's certainly the last place you'd expect to see Wendy Williams.' 

DailyMailTV has learned Wendy's troubles began last December when the star hired a private investigator to spy on her husband who she suspected was still carrying on with his mistress Sharina Hudson.

In 2017, Hudson had been at the center of a DailyMailTV expose revealing her ten-year affair with Williams' husband.

After being told the secret affair was still very much alive, the TV host confronted Hunter demanding to know why he was still seeing the 33-year-old qualified massage therapist.

DailyMailTV learned the saga all started in December last year when the star hired a private investigator to spy on Hunter, who she suspected was still carrying on with his mistress Sharina Hudson. In 2017, DailyMailTV exclusively revealed Hunter was having a decade-long affair with masseuse Hudson (pictured together)

During the heated clash, it's believed Williams fell and hit her shoulder on the ground, suffering a hairline fracture.

Devastated, Williams quickly plunged into a depression while recovering from the injury and began drinking heavily.

During the time away from hosting her show, Williams' drinking - coupled with powerful pain medication -  proved a potent cocktail.

Williams, who has a history of drug addiction, became hooked.

'Kevin and Wendy are still together but things have been extremely difficult between them,' a source told DailyMailTV.

'Wendy hired a private eye last year to watch her husband because she was suspicious Kevin was still seeing Sharina.

'Her suspicions were well founded and Wendy was furious.' 

The source continued: 'She confronted Kevin and during the row she fell to the ground and broke her shoulder.

'Kevin called the show and said she walked into a wall and he had to take her to ER.

'But after the shoulder injury Wendy started drinking and popping pills again.' 

'Kevin and Wendy are still together but things have been extremely difficult between them, 'a source told DailyMailTV. Despite their ongoing marital troubles, Williams and her husband put on a united front in this photo posted on The Shade Room Instagram page, where they both give a middle finger to the camera

Over the past two weeks since returning to the show from a hiatus, DailyMailTV has observed Williams being picked up from the facility every morning by a driver at 7am (pictured on Wednesday, March 13) and taken to her Manhattan studio to film 

Hunter escorted his wife back to the sober home last week (pictured), after she finished her show. He stayed for 20 minutes before heading into Soho to meet a man who brought him a shopping bag 

The source says show execs were expecting Williams to return to work on January 7 but were told by her husband she wasn't ready to come back.

Her return date was then moved to January 14. 

The show then announced that the mother-of-one would be taking a further week off from her hosting duties, setting her return date as January 21.

But in a statement Williams announced an indefinite hiatus from The Wendy Williams Show, citing complications related to her Graves' disease and her fractured shoulder.

In a statement posted to Instagram titled: 'A Note from The Hunter Family,' it stated the star would be spending time in the hospital.

'As Wendy Williams Hunter previously shared, she fractured her shoulder and has been on the mend. Over the past few days, Wendy has experienced complications regarding her Graves' Disease that will require treatment,' the statement posted online on January 18 read. 

In reality Williams flew to Florida where she checked into a detox and rehab facility, DailyMailTV can reveal.  

After Wendy learned the affair between Hunter and Hudson was still going on, she confronted him. It's believed during the heated exchange, she fell and hit her shoulder on the ground, suffering a hairline fracture. Williams plunged into a depression while recovering from the injury and began hitting the bottle and pairing it with her pain medication.

Cameras caught the star coming and going from the 'recovery residence', which is situated above a barbershop in an unassuming red brick building in Long Island City, being driven in a white Mercedes on Friday, March 8

'But she was still drinking in the rehab. She was getting people to sneak her things in.

'She was photographed with a woman outside a CVS in Florida, it was the mother of another patient in rehab who she'd met. 

'Wendy had her to take her to CVS drug store, where wine and beer are alsosold.' 

Shockingly, the source reveals that Williams' husband visited his wife at the rehab facility in Florida and took his mistress along for the trip. 

'Kevin flew to Florida to visit his wife and took Sharina with him,' the source said. 'She stayed at the hotel while he went to see Wendy during the day.

'Around February 19, Wendy came back to New York. She went into a sober living facility in Long Island City and now she's sleeping at a recovery residence there and has a sober coach with her at all times, they even go to the bathroom with her.

'Kevin told the show the stress from work exacerbated her medical conditions.

'He fed them the same bulls**t she said on TV when she came back, that her Graves' disease was making her sick. Her Graves' disease has never been an issue at all.'

DailyMailTV cameras caught the star coming and going from the 'recovery residence', which is situated above a barbershop in an unassuming red brick building in Long Island City.

Staff at Otis & Finn Barbershop described the apartments above as a 'halfway house' for people addicted to drugs and alcohol.

The revelation of Wendy's addiction flies in the face of her claim her extended break from her show was for 'medical reasons'. She later clarified that she was grappling with complications surrounding her Graves' disease, which effects the thyroid, and a fractured shoulder 

A source claims that although Wendy was sent to rehab in Delray Beach, Florida, last month she was still drinking there. They said: 'She was photographed with a woman outside a CVS in Florida (pictured), it was the mother of another patient in rehab who she'd met. Wendy paid her to take her to CVS to buy alcohol and pills' 

Williams was observed being driven from the show's studio in Manhattan and being dropped off at the door of the apartment. 

It's understood she stays overnight rather than returning to her plush mansion in New Jersey.

Williams and Hunter share a huge five bedroom $2 million house in the exclusive private Bel Air estate in Livingstone, New Jersey.

DailyMailTV reached out to Williams' rep for comment but none was provided.

According to records, an addiction treatment company called PURE Recovery Network is listed at the address in a residential neighborhood, where Williams was seen entering.

An online profile states PURE Recovery is a 'boutique sober living residence' located in Long Island City. 

The profile states the firm believes in 'multiple paths' to recovery.

It accepts guests recovering from a 'full range of addictive and co-occurring disorders' such as 'substance use, alcohol dependence, sex addiction, disordered eating and trauma.'
