Summary
Wendy Williams’s health has taken a terrible turn. Last Thursday, the former daytime queen’s team dropped the heartbreaking news that Wendy has been diagnosed with both aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. And then, over the weekend, “Where is Wendy Williams?” - a new docuseries about Wendy - premiered on Lifetime. It was supposed to document a triumphant comeback tale, but after filming started, it quickly evolved into a totally different story. The series captures Wendy’s increasingly erratic behavior and declining health. The title of the docuseries now seems pretty ironic, because her family says they don’t know her current whereabouts, which has left us all wondering, “Where is Wendy Williams?”
