New York, NY – Former talk show host Wendy Williams is currently receiving treatment for cognitive issues in an undisclosed facility, according to People magazine. The 59-year-old, who is the subject of the upcoming Lifetime docuseries “Where Is Wendy Williams?,” has very limited contact with her family, speaking with her sister and niece only when she reaches out to them. It is reported that her family does not know the location of the facility where she is being treated.
The four-part docuseries, set to air on Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m., will reportedly showcase Williams’ struggles with alcohol addiction, mental health, memory, and communication. Additionally, Williams is under the care of a court-appointed legal guardian who oversees her finances and health decisions.
Her niece, who is also an executive producer on the documentary, expressed pride in Williams for taking control of her narrative and speaking openly about her current situation. The documentary is said to depict a different side of Williams, showing her clear focus on family and her present physical, mental, and emotional state.
Throughout the years, Williams has faced a series of health issues, including lymphedema and Graves disease. In 2019, she filed for divorce from her husband of 22 years, Kevin Hunter, amidst revelations of his infidelity.
It is evident that Williams has faced significant challenges, both personally and professionally, and her current treatment for cognitive issues further adds to the complexities of her life. And while the upcoming documentary may shed light on some of her struggles, it also offers her the opportunity to reclaim her story and share her journey in her own words.
As Williams continues her journey towards healing, her openness and willingness to confront her challenges head-on present a powerful message of resilience and determination.
