Michelle Williams did an exclusive interview with People Magazine about ‘The Masked Singer’ and what’s next!

Michelle Williams experienced a challenging end to 2018. In December of last year, less than five months after sharing that she felt better upon seeking treatment for depression, the “We Break the Dawn” singer revealed that she and her fiancé, pastor Chad Johnson, ended their engagement. Days later, Williams took a leave of absence from the Broadway production of Once On This Island on doctors’ orders.

One year later, Williams came back in a big way: On Wednesday night, The Masked Singer unmasked the former Destiny’s Child member as the Butterfly.

“What better way than to emerge and say, ‘I’m taking my power back, I’m getting my strength back,’ ” Williams, 40, tells PEOPLE. ” ‘I’m going to be okay and start knocking these obstacles out.’ “
