If this documentary does nothing else maybe it can shine light on the horrific guardian system as well as unfair banking processes when folks are in crisis.
Shot before a frontal lope dementia and aphasia diagnosis, this documentary truly shows the Hell Wendy was living in alcoholism and cognitive decline. It also shows her enablers who carted her around NYC and Los Angeles, who on camera said they had her best interest at heart. Will was totally aware of her failings and the woman Shawn was truly a deplorable character who I think was only after her money and turned her back on her 24 hour drinking. Very unlikeable woman. Her driver, Shawn and Will could certainly see Wendy was in major trouble in addition to drinking but ignored it. This was NOT denial it was abuse.
I think her son, niece and nephew have her best interest and her sister seems to be an appropriate guardian. My heart goes out to them because they appear to have been kept in the dark. So why not?
The documentary flowed nicely with some flaws In documenting forgetfulness they showed an early Wendy Clip where she forgot Steve Allen's last name. Bad choice as that is normal memory lapses we all have, not a sign of cognitive impairment. And that was like year 1 of the show. Also, apparently the family cannot call Wendy yet in a scene at the end of the documentary, Wendy calls Wanda and Wanda says she will call her back. Her son and nephew seem like solid young men.
It is a shame that the Wendy Williams Show producers did not respond but at this writing her producers are being investigated for financial issues with another show and are in big trouble. It would have been nice if there were scenes of a healthier Wendy. What the documentary shows is a confused, volatile, emotional and irrational and intoxicated Wendy , with little flashbacks to the Wendy the fans know.
I still wonder if her original diagnosis of Wernicke- Korsahoff alcohol related dementia is more appropriate than the frontal lope and aphasia label because of the extent of her drinking which was a long time process. More will be revealed. But there is no television future for Wendy.
The Blac China snippet and scenes with her kind father were so sad .
