NextImg:Wendy Williams cries, says she has ‘no money’ or friends in dramatic new doc footage — that’s now vanished

Wendy Williams cries and declares, “I have no money,” in footage for a new Lifetime documentary titled “Where is Wendy Williams?” 

The trailer was briefly posted online on Thursday before mysteriously vanishing, and the network hasn’t officially announced the project. 

So, it’s unclear if or when “Where is Wendy Williams?” will air. 

The Post reached out to Lifetime for comment. 

Williams, 59, hosted her Emmy-winning nationally syndicated talk show, “The Wendy Williams Show,” from 2008-2022. 

The show’s final year saw a rotation of guest hosts including Sherri Shepherd, as Williams stepped away in 2021 due to health issues.

Williams told The Post in July of 2022, “There was nothing I liked about the [the final episode of] ‘Wendy Williams Show.’ I sat in my apartment and I watched it. And [I was] like, ‘Eek!’”

In June of that same year, Williams revealed to TMZ that she’s lost about 95% of the feeling in her swollen feet, because of her battle with lymphedema — a condition caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system. She also simultaneously battled with Graves’ disease, an immune system disorder that causes an overproduction of thyroid hormones.

She went public with her Graves’ diagnosis in 2018, after fainting on-air during an October 2017 live taping.

She also spent time in rehab in September of 2022 over substance abuse issues.

In May 2023, she pulled out of a planned speaking gig, as people in her inner circle reportedly worried about her well-being. 

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.”

Williams denied the financial institution’s claims and demanded her money back.

All of these issues may be addressed in the documentary – if it happens. 

According to the now-deleted footage, the documentary includes her son, Kevin Hunter. Jr, 23, her sister, Wanda, and more family members as they fight to help her get well physically and financially. 

“We all make choices in life,” Wanda says in the footage. “We all go through our challenges. She’s still a person.”

Her son also claims her court-appointed guardian hasn’t “done a good job of protecting” Williams. 

In another part of the now-deleted footage, Williams says, “I have no friends.”

Lifetime most recently did a documentary in February 2020 called “Wendy Williams: What A Mess,” which snared 2.6 million viewers when it aired. 

During that 2022 interview, Williams told The Post that her aspirations for the future were to “Podcast, and I want to have a restaurant. If I don’t do anything else, including podcast, I would love to fall in love. I want to f–k.

“Excuse me, I’m gorgeous. Can I f–k?”
