"Where is Wendy Williams?" - Exploring the Complexities of Her Life and Struggles 

I remember how Wendy talked about Joan Rivers and Melissa, how much she loved both of them. Prayers for you Wendy! 🙏🙏❤❤

The judge that set up Wendy’s guardianship case is under scrutiny for granting conservatorships to election donors. It’s truly a mess.

Melissa knows a lot of stuff in hollywood and doing justice for Wendy. Joans is looking down proud at you, girl!

Consider a retitle of this video. I thought it was Melissa’s take on the doc. I didn’t realize it was an in-depth interview with the filmmakers. Much respect for all you guys.

Shouldn’t the “guardian” be making sure there’s food in the fridge?

Someone please make sure Wendy has the brooch she was gifted from Joan Rivers! It was everything to her!!

Wells Fargo put her in this conservatorship wtf? A bank should not have this much power over a person

I am commenting now with just a minute in this video, but I can say Wendy LOVED 🥰 your mother! I’m sure you will do Wendy justice!

Stopping Wendy from throwing Kevin a birthday party, would be like cutting off Wendy’s happiness to the one love in her life. He is her joy.

Ty beautiful Mellissa for shedding some light on beautiful Wendy I hope she gets to see her family soon👏❤️🇨🇦

Wendy deserves more. I hope she can stabilize and be in a safe place where people who care for her aren't this type.

Finally, producers are sharing the backstory on her son. Can you imagine the trauma he suffered with both Wendy and the father? If the kid showed a history of abuse, then maybe no contact. This is very sad her son is not healing with his mom.

Terrific interviewing by Melissa Rivers.

we are so grateful that you guys care about Wendys well-being thank you so very much GOD BLESS YOUALL FOR YOUR CONTINUOUS EFFORTS I HOPE WENDY GETS BETTER.

MR.. Your mother was a legend. She is very proud of you. Carry on.

I wonder if banks have been sued before for NOT protecting vulnerable people's accounts?

Thank you Melissa for trying to get to the bottom of how the hell a bank can randomly decide any accountholder needs a guardian. Sounds illegal!;😮

Omg - I love this. Melissa is an OG in showbiz and she talks with so much insight, empathy and compassion. I love Wendy and just pray for her peace and happiness ❤ love you MR!!

Melissa, I am sure your mom is up there looking out for Wendy's future mental health.

Love you Melissa! I also love and miss Joan very much! Thank you for the videos. 💝

You mean to tell me the guardian really thinks she is more entitled to Wendy’s $$ than Wendy’s son who was accused of over spending for a birthday party his mom threw for him and allowing him to eat whatever as a college student who probably doesn’t cook?! THIS. IS. WRONG.

Melissa Rivers, you are beyond a real friend and advocate. Thank you for taking interest and bringing this conversation to the public. Wendy was a friend in the minds of many through radio,television and internet. Though that “friendship” is arguably imaginary, the care for her is very real. This issue of conservatorships and appointed guardians made familiar to many of us through Brittany Spears, is still a scary and weird scenario especially to those that have wealth and maybe lack a presence of good people. Brittany’s situation seemed to be tainted by the times as well as her association with youth I think. It’s easier to accept the parent coming in to continue guardianship/protection (and we know the reality with this) of their (adult) child. Wendy’s situation is somewhat abrupt and complicated with show ending, divorce, scandal, addiction and Covid/quarantine. This is a collection of subjects we all need to consider personally and in the lives of loved ones.

Thank you for asking the same questions I had. I am STILL so confused and still have so many questions on this very confusing story.

The people in Hollywood always spend a $100,000 dollars on parties. Why is this different??

I suffered an AVM at 27, and my husband told me I was rude to the ICU nurse. "I want juice NOW!" It horrified me that I would be rude like that so I'm scared to death of getting dementia for this simple reason!

At first I thought the docuseries was exploitative. And clearly, there were people taking advantage of Wendy ('nuff said about her so-called former publicist Shawn). But by the end of the series, I think airing it was a good thing cause it shed a light on how shady guardianship can be. And I also thank Melissa Rivers for keeping the conversation about Wendy going now that the series is done. Cause I know a lot of people (like me) wanna know that Wendy's doing better.

On that trip to LA Wendy was asked if she would like to go to the Oscar’s while they were there and she had no idea what the Oscars was that tells you everything about Wendy and where she’s at God bless you❤

This is an amazing and informative interview that I have stumbled upon. Unfortunately, this audience does not have the bandwidth to appreciate how important this information is to my community. Thank you, Ms. Rivers. I appreciate your interview style, your questions, and allowing your guests to express themselves in earnest without interruption. I anticipate your channel will grow respectfully.

‘You know!’ Is driving me nuts lol

Excellent interview, Melissa. Thanks for sharing it.

Wish Wendy the best; speedy recovery

I’m sorry but it is CRIMINAL that Wendy’s family especially her SON do not have a direct line to contact her by phone!

thanks for being the coolest random new person Melissa ❤

This was an excellent interview . I was thinking the group behind this documentary were going to be slime-bags exploiting Wendy for money . After seeing them and hearing them I have a whole different opinion now . I was very impressed with them and appreciated their humanity and sensitivity about Wendy and her situation . They have put everything into context and I understand the whole story better now . I think her son has been unfairly portrayed as this kid who stole from his mother . I think whatever he did was approved by his mother . I am happy they did the documentary so that light can be brought to the guardianship situation . I think in the end it will benefit Wendy . This guardian and the whole way this guardianship came to be needs to be investigated . Something isn’t right with it . Great job Melissa and thank you again for putting this all out there.

Great interview. Praying for Wendy and her family!

The thing I am grateful for.. is regardless of looking bad or whatever, if this Doc had not been made or cut off or not been allowed to be shown, then none of the outrage would've been, nor the outrage of this ridiculous law that allows anybody to just do this... and because of this.. Wendy may actually get to spend her last years with her family.

Melissa Rivers interview style is very different from her mother’s. She is relaxed, soft-spoken, and it is calmly to watch her interview style. Her mother, who was hilarious, was much more performative and hyper. Joan Rivers is sorely missed by all.

Someone saw an opportunity to swoop in and be a guardian and did just that. Not only is it normal in Wendy Williams circles to spend that kind of money on their son’s birthday or allow them to order shaver from Uber eats … HE WAS IN COLLEGE. He was a student and probably wasn’t cooking in his dorm room and his mother is proud and that’s all she has after her divorce (outside of her beautiful family) this was very normal. Now in terms of her having any additive in issues and still processing her divorce that’s absolutely a separate issue and her son being taken care of by his mom with her money is not unusual. We have seen this with so many millionaires over time with their offspring! What in the world?! Sounds like a hater. Didn’t see her son as a human and entitled to “her money” but they saw themselves entitled to her money. How does that happen? Where do they do that at?!

Melissa, you doing such a great job?Miss your mom too.Make sure rest in heaven.She's truly missed

keep taking about this it is important on every level from legal to medical everyone learning a lot from this unfortunate situation

Excellent interview Melissa.

Subscribed! Very nice to see Melissa…It somehow feels as though we get Joan back through her.

I plead the Precious Blood of Jesus over thie interview, Wendy Williams and the people surrounding her. May the truth and healing be revealed quickly.

We are even talking about this in the uk. One thing that i don't understand is that everyone saw Wendy's change via photos , the show , the interviews she gave, the public appearance. How come the people who were there with her in person didnt see. Are they saying this is how wendy always behaved ?

Hello, Melissa. Greetings from Chicago. I always dropped everything I’m doing to watch your Mother. I miss her sooo much. My Mother introduced me to her artistry. She was truly a gift to our world. A treasure. She is smiling down on you and handsome Cooper from above. You were blessed with a beautiful Mother. May our Queen continue to rest in eternal peace.. Can’t wait to see what you will be doing next. All the luck to you and Cooper, Mel. Xoxo ❤💋

Melissa Thank you so much for this Interview with these 2 film makers! I'm so happy to hear Wendy is getting help & sounds so much better! I really hope the Guardian gets removed OUT of Wendy's life NOW..she needs her family in her life & I Pray it happens real soon! I remember your Mother loved Wendy & you love her also. As I'm watching this video I remember your Mother leaving Wendy a piece of jewelry..I believe it is a beautiful brooch. Thank you again Melissa for this update & truth on Wendy Williams! I'm sure you'll continue to keep us all updated on Wendy❤😔 I hope you & your son are well always ❤️ 💙

Great breakdown Melissa and yes the guardian sucks!

How could she actually give consent for this documentary if she had a dementia diagnosis and is under guardianship?

How did no one know where the publicist, Shawn, came from? And when Wendy asked her what the Oscars were... 🤨🚩🚩🚩

It's a bit odd to hear production who put out a statement recently that had they known she was diagnosed with dementia they would have put the camera's down, then to listen to producers here talk about how "she loved it" and how they admit it was "up and down", that they questioned her cognition, he Just said he questioned her clarity, yet they felt it necessary to continue filming her when she was Clearly unwell and unaware? They felt it was in good taste to film her while intoxicated, confused and unaware of her surroundings? Production blames management, management blames production, did ANY of them actually really care about Wendy's wellbeing? It's pretty difficult for the public to view this as a documentary when it screams exploitation and to production's best interest NOT Wendy's. Not ONE producer or management team member could deduce that - as this woman says here in this interview - "Wendy was in and out" , therefore she is NOT capable to make her own decisions regarding filming. The Judge, guardian, her yes men/women, production, management... I don't see where Wendy's wellbeing was at the forefront of this filming decision. It took an actual diagnosis to put the camera's down, that's a Legal Decision, Not a personal wellbeing decision about Wendy. I still want to see evidence of the Doctor that diagnosed her. Who's Doctor is this? Did the guardian arrange that? The female producer speaking is defending a guardian who is a fraud. I can't listen to these people. They sat there and did exactly that Melissa... these producers are deferring to management when They are the ones behind the cameras. Not one of them said a damn word! Melissa asked good questions, good for her to bring the guardian up the way she did! Wendy would be SO happy about Melissa's approach here! Good job girl and I miss your mom! My mom too... 14 years ago I lost her, my heart goes out to you and your son. Be well.

They did her dirty with the documentary but ultimately it will be for her best because it's highlighted what's going on with her and hopefully now she will get help. Even a medical novice can see her thyroid condition is not being managed

It was a necessary and harsh reality. They said they would have stopped filming if they knew about her condition. But the EXPOSURE of this criminal and nefarious system that has destroyed and almost destroyed MANY lifes. I love Wendy. Used to listen to her on the radio when I grew up in NJ. Her family was kept from her and these SECRETS needed to be witnessed, so we can END it for EVERYONE.

Illuminating discussion-thanks for this.

I also had no idea the guardian was already in place BEFORE they started filming. That's messed up on Lifetime's part!

They DONT LET YOU KEEP UR MONEY…THIS ENTERPRISE IS SICK…poisoning her probably..no guardianship needed she has father,sister,son…..set her free!

You know, you know you know…..OMG, make it stop!

Thank you Melissa for shedding light on this very hard to watch documentary. Hearing from the makers of doc explains so much. Xoxo

I MISS WENDY WILL KEEP HER IN MY PRAYERS 😢

She needs Wanda or Kevin to be her guardian. Wells Fargo needs to let her move to Miami and be with her family. What a disgrace that nobody really takes care of her.

This whole situation for Wendy Williams was so out of control. Shame on her Guardian. There needs to be a way to challenge NY courts to review this situation. So sad. Praying for you WW. 🙏🙏🙏

Melissa, thank you so much for this - you asked the right questions. I have been a long time supporter of Wendy since her radio days in the early 90s. I grew up listening to her in NYC. This documentary was, as though so heartbreaking, necessary to show what has been going in that we were so unaware of. I feel for her family at the same time so much felt so strange, so confusing about the whole ordeal. I was so annoyed at all the people she is surrounded by, including Will. I don't get any of it. Why court docs are sealed. This is crazy stuff! All that matters is her healthcare and she needs to be with her family. FREE WENDY! May any higher powers grant her the opportunity to have the peace and care she desperately needs.

I watched Wendy for 10 yrs, love her

I love Wendy since the beginning. What got me was when Little Kevin spent over 100,000 on Uber Eats. To me that seems like someone taking advantage of the situation

Why didn't she have a proper Will? A power of attorney for health/finances

@Melissa Rivers .... This is an extremely important conversation. Awareness is key to critical change. Wendy Williams health is of utmost importance, she is being neglected ! Also, the lack of anyone's understanding as to her financial situation is secretive/sealed by the courts (non-disclosure, why, how?) . Wendy's sister, Wanda , is an officer of the court and she seems exhausted & devastated, to say the least. How can one of her handlers take her outta state? Please do a deeper dive. Concerned Canadian's wanna know.

Wendy kept saying that Wells Fargo said that there is no more money. How at that point if they were protecting her so that wouldn’t happen ?🤷🏼‍♀️

Opportunist. They knew she was sick, but greed got in their way.

Good shit as always Missy 👏 🙏 to Miss Wendy ✨

If they want to have a great birthday party that is not a crime. Nonsense. 100k is nothing when you have millions. Birthdays are one of the few times when everyone will splurge. She needs her family, not these strangers with an evil agenda. They didn't even have food for her. Free Wendy.

Wow prayers to Wendy

What does something is dirty why is things like this such a secret and closed to family member this is unacceptable

Wendy is AMAZING! STILL! I LOVE HER AND SHE'S ICONIC! WENDY YOU ARE THE ONE! WE your fans LOVE you! LOVE you! You came you conquered you exposed and you're FEARLESS! PURE SOLDIER! FRONTLINE!❤LOVE YOU WENDY! QUEEN❤ GOAT❤

How horrible 😱Poor WENDY so sad 😢 ‼️

Informative

Denmar Mercury wanted Wendy back in NY for the show, or they were gonna lose a shit ton of money. Bernie Young(Wendy’s former manager) and Lori Schiller(Wells Fargo Financial Advisor) set off the guardianship. Will Shelby is a jeweler not a manager. I’m naming names and calling out the bullshit. #FreeWendy

The saddest part of it all is that Wendy fell apart due to a trifling man leaving . Tragic for any woman. She was only held together for DECADES due to a man. Ugh. SMH

Please retitle the video, super important and awesome we got to hear from the film makers... I trust them now haha.

Great interview! 👍

Both of my grandmother's suffered from dementia. One of them, alcohol induced FTD. She was an extraordinarily high functioning alcoholic who flew under the radar for decades, even with the doctors! I lost count of the numbers of sprains, breaks + surgeries she had due to being intoxicated + falling during her senior years. I do remember the second to last fall + surgery she had - it was for her knee. The doctors actually decided to do blood work while she was in the ER for this incident - her blood alcohol level was 4 times the legal limit hell + they sent her home with absolutely zero care beyond narcotics. I had to learn how to detox my 90 year old grandmother at home, without pain medicine or alcohol of any kind + if you thought Wendy was hell on Wheels 😂 my grandmother makes her look like a teddy bear in comparison. There's so much shame + secrecy that comes with alcoholism, making it incredibly difficult for the person suffering + their families to get the necessary professional help that both need in order to have the tools to cope + manage this disease. The dementia that comes along with this disease is as unruly, difficult+ dangerous as alcoholism. It takes a toll on the individual + their families + caregivers will never be able to adequately describe. Thank you for shedding more light on the documentary + advocating for Wendy + her family.

If he says “ you know” once more…

Heartbreaking.

Another great episode.

I blame the son who was taking out a lot of money from her account. He probably did it because his father talk him into it, to help him financially since he went bankrupt.The guardianship happened right after the son took out big withdrawals from the bank. I hope it this is true, her son lives with this for the rest of his life. Sorry to say this but the apple don't call far from the tree.

Awesome job girl. Keep up the great work.

Very good interview. Thank you for this.

Only Wendy can call because she is being treated. These facilities do not allow her to have her cell phone. They're very strict. It's for her own good.

Great job on this report!!!

10 years later Joan is dead and the Wendy we knew is gone. Life is so strange.

Great interview.

great interview

Melissa Wendy’s business manager was named Bernie. I believe it was him who paid for a lawyer to collude with Wells Fargo by using Wendy’s Amex card to pay himself and a lawyer. Bernie and Wells DFargo were working together to get guardianship started.

I always enjoyed Wendy. She wasn’t strong enough to kick her cheating man to the curb. I bet her drinking increased when he left. Women out there, never allow any man to control any part of your life. Control is not love. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Kick them out of your life.

Melissa, thank you. I now understand more about what was going on. Did Will buy groceries or bring food for Wendy ?

Ya know ya know ya know. No we don't know

As a teen and young adult, I had to deal with my mothers alcohol addiction. It makes you feel like you're not enough. You are not enough, but you are too young and too close to understand.

I don’t understand why Wendy’s son and family don’t hire a lawyer and get her off this conservative business

If the camera crew was going to film the next day, and then found out Shawna & Wendy slipped off to LA the previous night, how is it the camera crew THAT FILMED Wendy in LA while driving around, WHY DIDNT THAT CAMERA CREW communicate to camera crew in New York of Wendy’s whereabouts ?????

Her brother and this guy did interviews and they keep saying "You Know" constantly! Someone needs to count how many times they both said it. It can't just be coincidence that both men have the same habit and quote.

🤍 Best Wendy “Hunter”, Biopic ever. Hands Down. Award Winning. Love how Angela White stopped by and laid on Wendy’s lap after she took off her wig. Raw, sensitive, beautiful…🥇 🥈 🥉

No Kelvin! I wouldn't put it past Kelvin was tying to take money from Wendy. Great interview Malisa ❤ Thank you 🌹 Good luck Wendy ❤🙏
