Wendy Williams is finally telling her side of the story.
In a trailer for Lifetime’s documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?” the iconic television host openly abuses alcohol and breaks down crying as she details the financial strain she’s experienced from being placed under a guardianship.
“I have no money,” she declares in the footage, which Lifetime removed shortly after releasing it.
The documentary features her son, Kevin Hunter. Jr, her sister, Wanda, and more family members as they fight to help her get well physically but also free her from the financial prison in which she finds herself.
“We all make choices in life,” Wanda says. “We all go through our challenges. She’s still a person.”
Her son also claims her court-appointed guardian hasn’t “done a good job of protecting” the former shock jock as Wanda echoes that the system is “broken.”
“We are her family,” Wanda says as she chokes back tears, “and you tell me that I’m not capable of taking care of my sister. What would you do? What should I do?”
