How to watch “Where Is Wendy Williams?” doc
The two-part movie chronicles Williams’ life following the end of her iconic talk show and start of her guardianship in 2022, including her “comeback journey to reclaim her life and legacy despite facing health issues and personal turbulence,” per a press release.

“Nobody truly knew the depths of Wendy’s reality so we hope that what our cameras captured can help shine a light on what she is facing now,” Elaine Frontain Bryant, EVP and Head of Programming, A&E, Lifetime and LMN, said of the movie in the release.
Williams herself is listed as an executive producer on the series — although her temporary guardian filed a sealed lawsuit against the Lifetime’s parent company, A&E Television Network, earlier this week, according to court documents obtained by Pvnew.
Latest on Wendy Williams and her diagnosis
The former talk show host’s team announced Thursday morning that she’d been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia as well as aphasia.
“Receiving a diagnosis has enabled Wendy to receive the medical care she requires,” they said in a statement of the star, who hasn’t been seen in public in more than 200 days.
“The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances,” the press release also stated, noting that she is “still able to do many things for herself” and has maintained her “trademark sense of humor.”
Where to watch the new Wendy Williams 2024 documentary:
Parts 1 and 2 will be available to stream for free on Sunday, and parts 3 and 4 will be available to stream for free on Monday until Monday, March 5. Philo currently offers a seven-day free trial.
You can also find a Lifetime live stream with an active subscription to Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV Blue, DIRECTV Stream, or Philo.
Pvnew previously reported that Williams had checked into a treatment center in June 2023, when her son Kevin Hunter Jr. told the Sun her alcohol abuse “might be fatal.”
The documentary features Hunter Jr. — who claims in the trailer that her court-appointed guardian hasn’t “done a good job of protecting” the star — as well as her daughter Wanda, and more family members.
