Wendy Williams is back! and although it’s not in the way many fans would want, it is going to give some answers to a lot of questions that we’ve had for years.
The legendary media and daytime talk show maven will be opening and up getting real in her new Lifetime ‘Where Is Wendy Williams?‘ two-part documentary set to air this month.
The newly released trailer, which made its debut late Thursday, offers a heartfelt glimpse into Wendy’s life as she opens up about the personal battles she’s been facing.
With remarkable candor, she talks about her ongoing health challenges, her financial difficulties—including a shocking revelation of her current financial state—and the tumultuous events she has faced following her exit from ‘The Wendy Williams Show.’ The footage extends an intimate invitation to understand her journey and the complexities that come with it.
The documentary also features her son Kevin Jr., her sister, father, and other family members — who personally speak to the fact that Wendy is not mentally and question her court-appointed guardianship.

Lifetime also provided more details via the official press release on Friday.
After Wendy Williams was placed under a financial guardianship and her hit talk show was unexpectedly canceled, she was determined to make a career comeback. Opening the doors to her private life like never before, cameras chronicled her comeback journey to reclaim her life and legacy despite facing health issues and personal turbulence. With unparalleled access granted by Wendy to film with her and her family for nearly two years, what was captured was not what anyone expected. The four and a half hour, two-night documentary event, Where is Wendy Williams? will debut on Saturday, February 24 and 25 at 8pm ET/PT on Lifetime. On the Friday night prior on February 23, Lifetime will encore Wendy’s biopic, Wendy Williams: The Movie and her 2021 documentary, Wendy Williams: What a Mess.
“Wendy has been part of the Lifetime family for over a decade and during that time, we partnered with Wendy for her revealing biopic and doc,” said Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and Head of Programming, A&E, Lifetime and LMN. “But her story is not finished. There is so much more to it. Nobody truly knew the depths of Wendy’s reality so we hope that what our cameras captured can help shine a light on what she is facing now.”
“This was a complex project – and it became a labor of love for everyone involved,” said executive producer Mark Ford, Creature Films. “We are grateful to Wendy and her family for their utmost commitment to honesty, even when painful – in this documentary.”
‘Where Is Wendy Williams?’ airs February 24th and 25th on Lifetime.
