A new documentary focusing on Wendy Williams delves into her alleged struggles with alcoholism and autonomy.
The hour-long special, Trapped: What Is Happening to Wendy Williams?, premiered on the ID Channel, shedding light on the life of the former talk show host who is currently under guardianship. Williams, 60, is reportedly living in a New York City assisted living facility, having been relocated after a birthday celebration involving drinking on the rooftop bar of the building.
Journalist Diane Dimond claimed that Wendy had a relapse during the celebration, leading to her being moved to a restrictive memory care unit under 24/7 supervision. This development comes after Wendy admitted to celebrating her 60th birthday last summer but stated she is now alcohol-free.
The documentary also features medical experts discussing whether Wendy’s symptoms are related to frontotemporal dementia or alcohol-induced cognitive decline. Despite the claims made in the documentary, Wendy’s team has not responded to the allegations.
Earlier this year, Wendy faced scrutiny regarding her health and conservatorship, with her court-appointed guardian requesting new medical evaluations. Wendy claimed to have passed all hospital exams with flying colors, while her guardian alleged she declined to participate in the court-ordered testing.
Trapped: What Is Happening To Wendy Williams? is available for streaming, providing a closer look at the ongoing challenges Wendy Williams is facing.
