This was a compulsory rule from the show's executives, and the two-chosen ones will also have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Williams opened divulged that she did not share the news with anyone, as she doesn't have anyone in her life that would keep the information to themselves. Therefore, she took a more dramatic approach by letting everyone in her life watch the big reveal on national television.

The daytime talk show host said everyone she knew had a loud mouth and made a not-so-subtle reference to her parents, who might accidentally let the information slip while shopping at Bloomingdale.

She joked that she didn't fly for the show, only to be turned around because her appearance was now public knowledge.

The icon's appearance on “The Masked Singer” was flanked by speculations about Williams's behavior during the “Hot Topic” segment of her show, when she slurred her speech. Did this have anything to do with why she was sent home? No one knows.
