Weeping Wendy Williams Appears, with "No Money," in Documentary Trailer that Promptly Vanishes

A trailer for a documentary about Wendy Williams came and went in a brief window of time, showing the radio personality tearful and saying she has "no money," UK newspaper the Daily Mail reported.

"Let me tell you something," Williams says in the trailer. "If it could happen to me, it could happen to you."

The trailer was "deleted just minutes after being posted on social media," the newspaper said, although it can still be viewed via the X post below.

"In a trailer for Lifetime's documentary 'Where Is Wendy Williams?' the iconic television host openly abuses alcohol and breaks down crying as she details the financial strain she's experienced from being placed under a guardianship," Page Six detailed.

Williams was seen in the trailer "over two years after leaving her chat show, citing health problems," the Mail noted.

In the trailer, Williams is seen being quizzed about her drinking and talking about her challenges around mental and physical health. The trailer also recalled her heyday, with footage that showed her "at the peak of her career," Page Six noted.

"Since I was six years old, all I wanted was to be famous," Williams is heard saying in voiceover on the trailer.

That came to pass, though Williams came under fire for controversial comments about sexual assault victims, as well as homophobic comments such as a remark she made in 2020 that gay men should "stop wearing our skirts and our heels," a comment that, NBC News noted at the time, "some interpreted as a dig at 'Pose' star Billy Porter."

"Just sayin' girls, what do we have for ourselves?" Williams added.

But Williams' career seemed to end – or at least go into an extended hiatus – when "The Wendy Williams Show" came to an end in 2022, after which she seemingly dropped out of sight.

Her sister Wanda appeared in the trailer, tearfully saying that the guardianship Williams has been placed under excludes even her closest relatives from acting on her behalf. "We are her family, and you tell me that I'm not capable of taking care of my sister," Wanda says. "What would you do? What should I do?"

"Her son also claims her court-appointed guardian hasn't 'done a good job of protecting' the former shock jock as Wanda echoes that the system is 'broken,'" Page Six said.

"Wells Fargo claimed in February 2022 that Williams was of 'unsound mind' and required guardianship because she was allegedly a 'victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.'" the site added.
