Wendy Williams Was Exploited, Only Paid $100K For Lifetime Documentary

Wendy Williams Was Scammed, Only Paid $100,000 For Lifetime Documentary

Apparently, Wendy Williams was exploited. The former talk show host’s guardian claimed A+E Networks “shamelessly exploits” Wendy in Lifetime’s “Where Is Wendy Williams?” documentary.

Newly unsealed court documents reveal Williams’ appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, accused A+E Networks of “humiliating” the media personality by filming her “in an obviously disabled state,” which “cruelly implies” that her “disoriented demeanor is due to substance abuse and intoxication.”

In addition to that, Wendy, who made an estimated $10M a year as a talk show host was paid only $100,000 an episode for the devastating Lifetime documentary – which showed her at her worst.

“This blatant exploitation of a vulnerable woman with a serious medical condition who is beloved by millions within and outside of the African American community is disgusting, and it cannot be allowed,” the filing read, according to Page Six.

“We look forward to the unsealing of our papers as well, as they tell a very different story,” a spokesperson for A+E Networks tells news outlet.

In the filed court documents, Wendy, 59, was paid only $100,000 per episode in the four-part documentary. The harrowing tv show exploited Williams, showing her in the confusing throes of dementia.

The payment plan was set out in an 18-page contract Wendy allegedly signed in early 2023 shortly before she was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, the same disease that impacts action hero Bruce Willis.
