The shocking new Lifetime documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?” reveals the unfiltered truth of what the former talk star’s life has become.
A trailer for the doc, which was executive produced by Wendy, shows her tucked away, battling demons and a mysterious health crisis.

Another relative notes, “We were all sitting on the sidelines watching, and she was crying out for help.”
In one scene, Wendy is confronted with a bottle of booze. “Did you drink this whole thing today?” the person asks. Curled up in bed, she insists, “Keep it there. Keep it there.”
Hunter Jr. says, “She has people around who are yes people and allowing this to continue.”
Cut to Wendy riding in a car, saying, “This doesn’t look familiar,” and a man saying, “I think she’s losing memory. Have you guys noticed that?”

After the trailer debut, Wendy returned to Instagram for the first time since July. She posted a photo of herself on Stories with the message, "Welcome Everyone,,."
