Wendy Williams Claims She Has "No Money" As She Breaks Down In Her New Tell-All Documentary

Wendy Williams is back in the headlines, and this time it is not about a hot mic moment or a viral rant. In her new tell-all documentary, Where is Wendy Williams?, she is pulling the curtain back on what life looks like behind the scenes, including the part where she says she has “no money” as she breaks down over her financial situation.

The trailer paints a tense picture: Wendy visibly distressed while talking about her court-appointed guardianship, the stress it has caused, and her ongoing struggles with alcohol abuse. All of it gets even messier because she was alleged to be of “unsound mind” in February 2022, and the guardianship was set up over claims of “undue influence and financial exploitation,” which Wendy has consistently denied.

And while she is making family a priority these days, her family is fighting back just as hard.
