‘Where Is Wendy Williams?’ Docuseries Is Unsettling and Exploitative: TV Review
Amid the news of Wendy Williams' health crisis, Lifetime's docuseries 'Where Is Wendy Williams?' feels unsettling and exploitative.
Less than 72 hours before the premiere of Lifetime ‘s two-part docuseries “Where Is Wendy Williams?,” the former talk show host’s team announced that she has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the same disease that Bruce Willis has. Figures like Shelby, DJ Boof, publicist Shawn Zanotti and friend Regina Shell appear intent on filling in the gaps what happened with Williams following the end of her talk show, which has already been hashed out in the press for several years. Apparently the cable network wanted critics and the audience to tune in live, but the decision not to share episodes beforehand is no wonder, since the series is a jumbled mess of archival footage, interviews from those “closest” to Williams and incoherent and often combative rumblings from the former host herself.
