Wendy Williams is not holding back in her new Lifetime documentary ‘Where is Wendy Williams?’, which gives a candid and intimate look at her life and career.
The film which is set to air on February 24th and 25th, shows the talk show host breaking down in tears, admitting her mistakes, and sharing her fears.
The documentary follows Wendy Williams as she returns to her show after a hiatus due to her health problems, which include Graves’ disease, a thyroid condition that causes anxiety, tremors, and fatigue.
Williams also reveals that she has been living in a sober house, where she receives treatment for her alcohol addiction. She says that she started drinking heavily after finding out that her husband of 22 years, Kevin Hunter, had fathered a child with another woman. She filed for divorce in 2019 and finalized it in 2020.
She also opens up about her childhood, her rise to fame, and her controversies. She talks about being bullied for her weight, her miscarriages, her plastic surgeries, and her feuds with celebrities. She also addresses some of the rumors and scandals that have surrounded her, such as her fainting on live TV, her alleged drug use, and her dating life.
The documentary features interviews with Williams’ family, friends, colleagues, and fans, who offer their insights and opinions on her personality, her work ethic, and her impact. Some of the people who appear in the film are her son Kevin Jr., her brother Tommy, her manager Will Selby, her friend Sherri Shepherd, and her ex-husband Kevin Hunter, who apologizes for his infidelity and expresses his love for her.
The film also shows Williams’ struggles with COVID-19, which delayed the premiere of the 13th season of her show. She tested positive for the virus in September 2021, despite being vaccinated. She says that she experienced mild symptoms, such as fever, cough, and loss of taste and smell. She also says that she was lonely and depressed during her quarantine, as she had no friends or family to support her. She says that she has no money, no love, and no future.
The documentary ends with her saying that she is still hopeful and optimistic, and that she is grateful for her fans and her show. She says that she is doing her best to be healthy and happy, and that she is looking forward to returning to her purple chair as soon as possible. She says that she is not perfect, but she is real, and that she is Wendy Williams…..
