Wendy Williams’ turbulent recent years will be the focus of an upcoming Lifetime documentary, promising an unfiltered look into her health and financial struggles. Titled “Where is Wendy Williams?,” the documentary is set to air over two nights later this month. In the released trailer, viewers catch glimpses of behind-the-scenes footage showcasing Williams grappling with health issues, along with rare and candid interviews with the former talk show host herself.
The trailer provides a sneak peek into Williams’ emotional turmoil, featuring moments where she openly discusses her financial difficulties. She reveals, “I have no money,” emphasizing that if it can happen to her, it could happen to anyone. The talk show host faced a challenging period, leading to the cancellation of her daytime talk show in 2022 due to her battle with the autoimmune disorder Graves’ disease. Additionally, she was placed under financial guardianship by Wells Fargo, citing her as an “incapacitated person.”
Throughout the documentary trailer, Williams appears visibly distressed, breaking down in tears as she expresses missing her family and confessing that she has “no friends.” When asked about the extent of people’s love for her, she replies, “No, I don’t.”
The documentary also incorporates interviews with Williams’ loved ones, who express concerns about her drinking habits and memory loss. Scenes reveal confrontations about her alcohol consumption, emphasizing the struggles she faced during this tumultuous period.
Lifetime has been documenting Williams’ efforts to “reclaim her life and legacy” for nearly two years. The documentary aims to provide an honest portrayal of Williams’ life after financial guardianship, shedding light on her vulnerabilities and capturing her mental and physical health challenges.
Described as a raw and unfiltered look into Williams’ life, the documentary promises to explore her delicate state of mind, erratic behavior, and declining health. Williams, serving as an executive producer on the project, expresses her desire to return to television in the trailer.
“Where is Wendy Williams?” is scheduled to air on Lifetime on February 24 and 25. This documentary follows previous Lifetime productions about Williams, including the biopic “Wendy Williams: The Movie” and the documentary “Wendy Williams: What a Mess,” both released in 2021.
The upcoming documentary encapsulates the story of Williams’ journey to resurrect her career, offering insights into her life, challenges, and the discoveries made by filmmakers along the way. As viewers anticipate the release, “Where is Wendy Williams?” is poised to provide an intimate and revealing portrait of the iconic talk show host’s recent struggles and her determination to overcome them.
