“I know the public is not owed anything, but this is almost starting to get a Shelly Miscavige vibe, right? As far as we know, her family still doesn’t know where she is. We never see a photo of her (unlike other celebrities who were under guardianships/conservatorships and/or were diagnosed with dementia). It’s like she disappeared,” they started the discussion.

Where Is Wendy Williams? has eradicated many long misconceptions about what has been going on in her life over the past several years. Since her conservatorship began, the narrative has always been that her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, and her other family members were using her for financial gain. The Lifetime docuseries exposed a truth-- that when she disappeared to be in Florida with her family, she was on a road to recovery. Home video footage taken by Wendy’s son, Kevin Jr., showed her eating, looking healthier, and, more importantly, her mental faculties seemed to be coming back to her. After seeing this in the documentary series, how could anyone possibly think her family wasn’t acting in her best interest?...

Already, the promotional tour that she had scheduled for the 13th season had been scuttled and its official Sept. 20 start date was pushed back. The plan was to have Williams piped in, via Zoom, to the show’s studio in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood. “Because the staff had questions,” says her then-manager Bernie Young, whose job had morphed into liaising Williams’ tests and doctor visits. “So the idea was, ‘Look, they haven’t seen you or spoken to you, so let’s...

As screenwriters of the Lifetime original movies “Salt-n-Pepa” and “Wendy Williams: The Movie,” Abdul Williams and Leigh Davenport, respectively, were each proposed an exciting challenge by Lifetime: They had to condense the rich and aspirant lives of cultural trailblazers to fit neatly into the television movie format.
“Salt-n-Pepa” follows a 20-year journey for the titular “first ladies of rap and hip hop,” while “Wendy Williams: The Movie” tells tales about the daytime talk show host from her childhood to the present. Although these women are icons now, their journeys to that star status couldn’t just focus on the pioneering highs. Both Davenport and Abdul Williams were committed to delivering a well-rounded narrative about complex, ambitious Black women in the entertainment industry.
Despite the fact that Salt-n-Pepa had success “before they even really knew what was happening,” says Abdul Williams, “I think there’s certain universal things about the story,...
