'Where Is Wendy Williams?' Producers Say Wendy's Story Is 'Not Over': 'This Isn't the End' (Exclusive)

Producers Mark Ford and Erica Hanson spoke with ET at Lifetime's FYC event in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The pair came out to An Evening With Lifetime: Conversations On Controversies, an FYC event held at The Grove in Hollywood on Wednesday, and they spoke with ET's Deidre Behar about their high-profile project about Wendy Williams, and what it would mean for it to get recognized at the Emmys. It also highlights the TV personality's health struggles -- coupled with upheaval in her personal life -- including fainting on live TV back in October 2017 (which she claimed was from dehydration), revealing her Graves' disease diagnosis on her show in February 2018 (forcing her to take three weeks off) and her shoulder fracture in December 2018 and dealing with a very public breakup with then-husband Kevin Hunter, whom she officially divorced in January 2020 after 25 years of marriage. While the film was eye-opening for many, it also drew quite a bit of heat online from some who felt it was exploitative of Williams' health problems and the series of setbacks she's suffered in recent years.
