‘Where Is Wendy Williams?': 5 Takeaways From the Lifetime Documentary

Daytime Television Host Wendy Williams’s Recent Absence Raises Concerns #

Since 2021, viewers of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ have been wondering about the whereabouts of talk show host Wendy Williams. A documentary series aired in February attempted to shed light on her situation. In 2019, Williams disclosed that she was staying in a sober living facility and had filed for divorce. Friends and family believe her heavy drinking may be related to her marital split.

Williams last filmed her talk show on July 23, 2021. In the following year, a court appointed a legal guardianship to oversee her finances, which raised concerns. In 2022, her bank froze her accounts due to questions about large withdrawals.

Williams’s care team recently shared that the former host, 59, had been diagnosed with progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which impact communication and cognitive abilities. It was revealed that a documentary series was being filmed about her life until she entered a facility in 2023 to seek treatment for her cognitive issues.
