Wendy Williams Doc ‘Will Air This Weekend as Planned’, Despite Lawsuit to Block It

Wendy Williams' guardian has filed a lawsuit against A&E Networks seeking injunctive relief before the premier of a new Lifetime doc.

The two-part film is set to air this weekend, Feb 24 and 25, and will explore the past few years of the media personality’s lifeas her health declined and she was ultimately placed under court-ordered guardianship in 2022. In a statement, her care team said the former talk show host received numerous tests after “she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions.” They said their decision to share the news publicly was spurred by a desire to “advocate for understanding and compassion” and “to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances.” (Bruce Willis was diagnosed with the same disease last year.)
