WENDY Williams has reportedly fired DJ Boof from her talk show after he was missing from the season premiere amid months of speculation the pair were dating.
The 56-year-old daytime host was in tears as she filmed at her New York City studio for the first time since March and surprised fans with a new face spinning the beats for the program.
On Monday, The Wendy Williams Show returned from its Summer hiatus with DJ Boof nowhere to be seen and Power 105.1 personality, DJ Suss One, making his series debut.
According to reports, the show’s music man has been axed as its announced he will not be appearing on the current season.
Suss One - who famously DJ’s for Mariah Carey - confirmed on his Instagram that the gig would be all season long.
"I’m spinning on the @wendyshow every weekday Monday thru Friday starting today. Season 12,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a picture posing on set.
Neither the show or Wendy herself have commented on DJ Boof’s sudden absence.
The comedian and her alleged lover also no longer follow each other on Instagram.
Wendy hinted to the romance during the show’s opening monologue.
She told viewers: "I know men friends. I was having dates and stuff. I'm single. I live in Manhattan now.
“I sold the house in Jersey. But then the past five months have been really weird.”
Wendy first sparked speculation she had a new man in May with an Instagram post driving in the car with DJ Boof.
As she leaned into Boof - who was operating the vehicle - the outspoken TV personality gushed about her “beautiful Saturday with my special friend.”
The face of the television series broke down in tears during her first episode back after her several month break off air.
Wendy made an emotional Season 12 entrance in a neon lime-green flowy dress.
She seemed genuinely choked up as she dabbed her eyes and fanned her face.
The New Yorker said as she kicked off Hot Topics: "I'm so happy to be back.
“It's been a long seven months for us here at Wendy, and I'm sure for you too. You know it's been since March... and what a mess.”
Wendy continued of her lonely love life: ”Where do you get a hug? Shout out to all the single people - men and women.
