Episodes
Production
The documentary series was initially pitched to Lifetime as a documentary following Williams launching a podcast, but as production began, the story changed. Nothing was filmed without permission from Williams or her manager.[4] Williams granted the filmmakers unparalleled access into her life, following the cancellation of The Wendy Williams Show, documenting her life from August 2022 to April 2023, when production stopped due to Williams' health.[5][6][7] Producers attempted to speak with Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey; however, she declined to speak with them.[8]
Lawsuit
On February 23, 2024, Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, filed a lawsuit against Lifetime's parent company A&E Networks to prevent its release, claiming that the documentary was exploitive of Williams.[9] That same day, the court ruled the documentary could air as planned.[10][11]
