Wendy Williams' family speaks out on 'shocking and heartbreaking' health struggles ahead of documentary highlighting alcohol abuse... as she remains in a treatment facility


Wendy Williams' family members are breaking their silence nearly three years after she last hosted an episode of her eponymous talk show.

They spoke up just weeks after the release of a trailer for an upcoming Lifetime documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams?, which reveals her struggles with alcohol abuse and other alleged 'cognitive issues' in the wake of her final episode as host. Where the documentary's camera crew expected to find the host getting back into the swing of things, they instead found her battling an alleged alcohol addiction and other health conditions, including Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder that can lead to hyperthyroidism and bulging eyes, and lymphedema, in which a blocked lymphatic system allows fluid to swell up in the body, particularly in the legs and feet. According to the documentary filmmakers, they ultimately stopped filming in April 2023 after documenting a series of disturbing drunken incidents, before finally finding Williams unresponsive in her home with her eyes rolled back into her head.
