The documentary delves into the New York native's ongoing struggles with alcoholism, shedding light on her challenges with both mental and physical health. Numerous segments depict Williams grappling with standing and walking unaided.
In a particularly poignant scene, a producer asked her whether she had seen a neurologist. "To see if I'm crazy? Mhm," she replied.
Her son, Kevin Hunter, Jr., noted her public facade of normalcy in the teaser, claiming that his mother makes it appear "like everything's OK," but in reality, there are underlying issues.

In a 2023 interview, Hunter Jr. expressed concern about Williams "being taken advantage of" by those in her circle. The 23-year-old also remarked that she appeared to be not "in her right mind."
Adding to his concerns, he asserted that Williams was consuming alcohol at an abnormal and worrisome rate.
"It's gotten to a point where yes, it could have that effect that it might be fatal," he said.
'Where is Wendy Williams' premieres on Lifetime on Feb. 24.
