Wendy Williams' family members recently opened up about the ongoing health issues and battles with addiction faced by the talk show host. In a People Magazine cover story, Williams' sister, brother, and niece spoke out about her struggles that have spanned nearly three years since she last hosted an episode of "The Wendy Williams Show."

The family shared their concerns following the release of a trailer for an upcoming Lifetime documentary titled "Where Is Wendy Williams?" The documentary shines a spotlight on Williams' alleged alcohol abuse and cognitive issues in the aftermath of her final episode as host. Revelations from the documentary include Williams battling an alcohol addiction, Graves disease, and lymphedema.

Cameras began filming Williams in August 2022 as she was planning a podcast comeback, but the documentary shows a different reality as she was reportedly struggling with memory issues. The film was temporarily halted in April of the following year when Williams entered a treatment facility for cognitive issues.

Williams' family expressed frustration over the lack of communication and visitation rights, as they can only speak with her if she chooses to call them. Key details about her stay and her guardian remain undisclosed. The family is coping with the shock of her decline and hopes for her recovery.

The documentary also delves into financial accusations involving Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr., and her guardian, as well as the impact of her son going away to college and her divorce on her mental health. Executive producer Mark Ford highlighted the film's purpose in shedding light on concerns with the guardianship system affecting Williams.

As her family awaits Williams' recovery, they are focused on supporting her well-being and are hopeful for her return to health in the future.
