Wendy Williams is getting real.
The former talk show host has been making headlines with her erratic behavior and substance abuse struggles in recent years, and in the new Lifetime documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?” she removed her signature wig while having a heart-to-heart with her friend Blac Chyna.
Williams, 59, became friends with the controversial reality star, 35, after she appeared on “The Wendy Williams Show” in 2020, and Chyna stopped by to visit Williams during a scene from the documentary shared by People Thursday.
She showed off her natural hair as she sat on a sofa with Rob Kardashian’s ex, with Williams — who typically wears glamorous, wavy extensions — sporting straight hair pulled back in a loose, messy style.

The star wore a Gucci coat featuring blue fur trim as she chatted with Chyna, adding piles of pearl Chanel necklaces.
The TV personality’s team announced Thursday that she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, the same condition from which Bruce Willis also suffers.
“You’ve always been like, honest with me, and put me in my place, in the most motherly, kind way,” Chyna said to Williams.
“That’s why I love you so much, because even when I was going through my darkest times you never used that against me,” she explained.
The “Special Forces” star added that she knows “the love is genuine and it’s always going to be there,” assuring her friend, “I’m going to always be here for you, straight up.”
Chyna added that Williams — who was placed under a financial guardianship in 2022 — could contact her “whenever” and that she would be traveling to New York more often and stopping by to see her friend.
In reply, a confused-seeming Williams said, “My real name is Wendy Hunter,” causing Chyna to repeat, “Hunter.”
“Yup!” the daytime host exclaimed. “And I’m divorced. He’s got no money.”
Chyna looked upset by the response and teared up, saying, “I love you,” with Williams replying, “So do I.”
The first part of “Where is Wendy Williams?” airs on Lifetime Sunday at 8 p.m.
