Steve Wilkos is the last celebrity friend who is speaking out against the new Wendy Williams documentary. In a video posted to his official Instagram account, the talk show host expressed his deep concern and sadness following the release of the new Lifetime docu-series titled “Where is Wendy Williams.” Wilkos, known for his no-nonsense approach, did not mince words when sharing his thoughts on the portrayal of Wendy Williams in the documentary.
Wilkos believes that the documentary does not paint a positive picture of Williams, who is facing a number of health issues. He is particularly troubled by the fact that Williams is reportedly considering launching a podcast despite her health condition. Wilkos feels that Williams may not have the right support system in place, as he questions the decision to have her back on air to engage in interviews given her current state.
Wendy Williams, who has largely been out of the public eye since the cancellation of her self-titled show in June 2022, was the subject of the Lifetime documentary that aimed to showcase her comeback as she ventured into a new career in podcasting. However, the documentary also sheds light on Williams’ struggles with alcohol addiction and other health issues, including her recent announcement of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.

More On Wendy Williams Health:
As we previously reported, the former talk show host, 59, received her diagnosis last year and her medical team said the conditions “have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy’s life,” according to a press release. An official statement read:
“Wendy is still able to do many things for herself,” the team said in a statement. “Most importantly she maintains her trademark sense of humor and is receiving the care she requires to make sure she is protected and that her needs are addressed. She is appreciative of the many kind thoughts and good wishes being sent her way.”
Following the heartbreaking health UPDATE, Wendy Williams addressed her primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. She said,
“I want to say I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD),” Wendy began. “Let me say, wow! Your response has been overwhelming. The messages shared with me have touched me, reminding me of the power of unity and the need for compassion.”
“I hope that others with FTD may benefit from my story. I want to also thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness of FTD,” Williams added. “I continue to need personal space and peace to thrive. Please just know that your positivity and encouragement are deeply appreciated.”
As the public reacts to the revelations in the documentary, Steve Wilkos stands firm in his belief that Wendy Williams deserves better support and care during this challenging time in her life.
The “Where is Wendy Williams” doc premiered on Friday but not without a little setback. Williams’ temporary guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, filed a lawsuit under seal against Lifetime in a New York state court, USA TODAY confirmed. However, on Friday, a New York appellate judge ruled that Lifetime may go forward with releasing its documentary about Williams despite the lawsuit filed against A&E Television Networks in an attempt to halt its premiere. It was noted that such a ruling would be “impermissible prior restraint on speech that violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
The doc has sparked a conversation about the complexities of fame, health, and personal well-being. As Wendy Williams continues to navigate her journey, it is clear that she has a network of supporters, including Steve Wilkos, who are rooting for her to find peace and healing amid adversity.
