Wendy Williams Can relate to hardcore criminals – not that she has committed a crime – but her life mirrors someone who is limited to a prison cell.

TMZ has dropped a documentary about TUBI, “TMZ presents: Saving Wendy” … which explores her guardianship, which has now gone for years. As she says, her life is isolated. She is in a housing facility in New York City, where she is limited to a room on the 5th floor.

Wendy cannot leave the floor without the permission of the staff. She says she has been outside in the fresh air twice in the last 30 days … both times for dental appointments.


Almost no one is allowed to visit her. No one can call her. She can call out, but that’s it. She has no access to the Internet. She eats in her room because she says it is extremely depressing to be about 90-year-olds with serious health problems.


Harvey And others have spent hours on the phone with Wendy, and to one person everyone says she’s back to the old wendy. She is ready, after conversations and engages … she is again.

The Guardian says Wendy is permanently disabled as a result of frontotemporal dementia … The problem is that the condition never gets better. Wendy was in bad form a few years ago when she drank strongly, but she is Edru now and her mental state is radically improved … Many people say back to normal, yet she is still under an incredibly restrictive guardianship.

The only way we could shoot the documentary was to get a camera placed on the sidewalk where we shot her by the window on the 5th floor as she talked to us by phone.
