Wendy Williams‘ family is opening up ahead of her new documentary. In a candid  cover story for People out Wednesday, the former daytime TV talk show host’s loved ones and business partners are opening up about the struggles she’s been through over the last three years — pretty much ever since she stepped out of the spotlight to tackle a series of physical and mental health struggles.

Reflecting on this, her niece Alex Finnie began: Oof. So true. Related: Hoda Kotb Speaks Out About Kelly Rowland’s Today Show Walk-Off! Alex and many family members will appear in Lifetime‘s upcoming two-part series, Where Is Wendy Williams, which is set to chronicle the 59-year-old’s health and legal problems as of late.

According to People, the documentary crew began filming in August 2022. They had been intending to follow Wendy’s journey launching a new podcast after The Wendy Williams Show was canceled amid her struggles.

But when her health issues arose, the story took on a different angle. They stopped filming in April 2023 when things became too problematic for the star.
