Wendy Williams' does not appear to be in control of her finances

Insiders shared that the documentary will be giving fans a peek into how her life took a disturbing and devastating turn.

According to insiders close to the former daytime diva, 59, the two-part Lifetime special will focus on the last few years of Williams' journey and give fans a peek into how her life has taken a devastating turn.

"What the doc has done is reveal a disturbing look at her life. She doesn’t appear to be in control of her finances — or her faculties," said the source, according to OK Magazine.

The trailer for the documentary left Williams' fans stunned as she offered a glance into her struggles with mental health, finances, and personal growth.

"She's done a really good job at making it seem like everything's OK. But in reality, there's something wrong going on," her son, Kevin Hunter Jr, says in the trailer.

"I have no money," the former daytime talk show host said sobbing as she is seen hugging tight to a pillow.

"And let me tell you something, if it happens to me, it can happen to you," she added.

Inside Wendy Williams' health issues

After 14 years of the 'Wendy Williams Show', the television personality left the beloved talk show due to her ongoing health struggles.

After years at the helm of the beloved talk show, Williams left her purple chair in July 2021 due to ongoing health issues.

The television personality's life took a downward spiral after reports of her battle with alcohol and financial issues surfaced, culminating in Wells Fargo freezing her accounts after concerns of "financial exploitation, dementia, or undue influence"

Her financial guardian Sabrina Morrissey took over her estate in 2022. 

"Her accounts are now handled between the guardian, Ms Williams and the court," claimed the source.

"The court can eventually decide to give Wendy back full control over her accounts and end the guardianship — but that is up to the court," the insider added.

In the preview of the documentary, one of Williams' family members expressed concern over her legal guardianship, as they hinted that it may not be in her best interest.

"She was put in front of a judge and given a guardian. That was when they took her away from us," said Williams' relative.
