Fans will soon get another view of the health and well-being of Wendy Williams.
“Trapped: What is Happening to Wendy Williams,” a new documentary from Investigation Discovery, or ID, will premiere soon and has released a trailer teasing the insights.
According to ID, the new Williams documentary will take a different approach than the previous projects that have chronicled the life and health challenges of the former talk show host, and instead focus on Williams’ efforts to end any court guardianships.
“The documentary will delve into the #FreeWendy movement and the current push by Williams’ fans and loved ones to have her released from the guardianship she has been under since 2022,” ID said in a statement to the Asbury Park Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.

What happened to Wendy Williams?
Williams entered into a guardianship in 2022 after her talk show ended and speculation around her mental and physical health began to ramp up.
“The guardianship eventually revealed Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, and she was placed in a memory care facility in New York City,” a release from ID announcing the documentary’s premiere read. “Despite the guardianship’s claims about Williams’ current state, her fanbase has activated a #FreeWendy movement calling for Williams to have the opportunity to regain control of her life.”
Williams, though, has denied claims that she has dementia.
