I keep telling them this is not the time to act a fool. Btw I’m gonna start YouTube tmrw evening. #socialdistancing #meditation #calm,” she wrote on IG, Celebrity Insider reports.

“Wendy knows this hiatus is for the safety of everybody involved so of course, she supports the decision,” the source dished. “But she is using her social platform to continue connecting with her audience and has been throwing the idea around of perhaps doing something from home. Nobody knows for sure how long this is going to go on for and anything is possible in terms of weighing their options right now.”
