'Where Is Wendy Williams?' Producers Defend Doc: 'No One Wanted to Jump Into This Haphazardly' (Exclusive)

The two-part special aired on Lifetime over the weekend.

Talking with ET's Kevin Frazier, producers Mark Ford and Erica Hanson defended their project and said that not only were numerous lawyers brought in to ensure that things were handled fairly and correctly, but Wendy Williams' own manager, Will Selby, was involved to make sure it was done in the right way. One of the key reasons Ford and Hanson said they decided to pursue this project is because of Williams' guardianship and her health struggles as her fans -- and shockingly much of her family -- did not know what kind of help or treatment she was receiving. Selby previously told ET that Williams checked into a treatment facility in April 2023 for several reasons, including "cognitive issues" and to confront her battle with alcohol addiction.
