Why is this being televised?? Cut the cameras!! All she needs is love, support, and care . Also she was diagnosed with Dementia. This is not karma or what she deserves because she was a “mean” person. If that was the case, what does it mean when good or nice people have the same diagnosis?!! Hate her or love her this documentary is exploitative and wrong.

[@odynobodie]

they would consider it “sad, tragic” etc. No matter what controversies Wendy has gotten into she is still suffering from arguably one of the worst diseases you can have and she is still fairly young for most ppl with dementia which is worse

[@Majique7]

It's one thing after another though not just an unfortunate event and I actually like Wendy.

[@rayzina]

I think the main purpose of the doc series, is so the court & public can see that her life and well-being with her family is much better for her than under a guardianship.

[@RapNB2011]

Im glad it’s being televised, as people will start questioning the guardian. Her family should be taking care of her. She was doing well when she was in Miami.

[@devonmunn5728]

Yeah disability is not a punishment. It's fucked up that anyone would wish a disability as a punishment because that says ALOT about how they view disability

[@dsa526]

The fact the court refused her family to be her guardian but a random stranger to be her guardian.The family can't visit nor see wendy. And Wells fargo is holding her money against her will. Wendy can't touch her money including her family can't touch it but the bank and strangers around her can. And that statement is giving very much the guardian / handler wrote it. This is giving very much britney to me but much worse.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

I recently read that Wells Fargo and Wendy's guardian are allowing her to touch her money. But she's just being monitored.

[@KingofKrustycrab]

As shady as she was, no one deserves this

[@prettypennyschannel]

She was an honest shit talker with some integrity. She never gaslit others, but fought them. I think her enemies are gaslighting and smearing her.

[@LittleMissLurker]

Nah she does. Don't pretend she wouldn't be first in line pointing and laughing at someone for going through this. She's a ghoul. Now it's her turn to suffer

[@joeymills5827]

as someone who grew up watching wendy, i’m very sad to hear about her recent dementia diagnosis. i hope she gets the help that she deserves 💔

[@pj45queen]

Wendy Williams is without a doubt an ICON! I feel so bad that she’s going through all of this especially in the public eye. Honestly, you have to be a tough cookie to deal with that backlash/ scrutiny. For anyone saying that this is karma, let me just remind you. She is doing the same thing that everybody else does on social media and in the comment sections the only difference is she had a major platform. I’m sending Wendy nothing but positive energy! I’m hoping for a speedy recovery for her 💓

[@JacquelineVergnaud]

Once I heard “lifetime” I knew it would be exploitative

[@ronorleans]

Not only it is myopic for people to think ANYONE deserves this, but it shows an incredible lack of awareness to throw stones in a glass house, saying someone deserves a mental disease makes you as bad or WORSE, so what do you DESERVE to have happen to you according to that logic? But it's also disrespectful to the people who suffer from it, are you saying they all deserved it too? People have some wild thoughts. 😅

[@recovermylife2976]

Exactly I don't think anyone deserves dementia I had a friend that had dementia before she had it we went on fun trips and ate lunch and spent the night together when he had dementia she cried alot and was confused then ended up in the nursing home the hardest part is she forgot who I was when she knew me not to long ago

[@Ausgar-yc1yl]

Frontal temporal dementia is a neurological illness not a mental illness.

[@prettypennyschannel]

They're being vindictive because Wendy dealt in gossip. They want revenge for entertainment.

[@jennywakeman3267]

@pennyschannel Yeah the thing is, other people have said WAY WORSE than Wendy. It would be several people sitting down together on talk shows to drag celebrities, but the public doesn't keep the same energy towards them. Smh

[@prettypennyschannel]

@@jennywakeman3267 IKR?! There are places where women have the advantage. Wendy's field isn't one of them. I still say this looks like effing, horror-movie-style revenge.

[@camaronnn]

It's really REALLY sad that some people are saying that this is her karma and that she deserves this. No one deserves dementia. No one deserves to lose themself. It doesn't matter what she was saying about folks. NO. ONE. DESERVES. DEMENTIA.

[@javiruiz8365]

It really pisses me off!

She's doesn't deserve it

The only people who do are the ones who gaslight others. Wendy never did that. Frankly, I think she's being gaslit and drugged by her enemies.

[@loyaltyoptimismversatilityerud]

@@prettypennyschannel she's sarcastic I hope. We all have drawbacks but really Wendy's suffering is excessive 😭

[@prettypennyschannel]

@@loyaltyoptimismversatilityerud Her sarcasm was job related only, and honest. She didn't bully or gaslight people.

[@loyaltyoptimismversatilityerud]

@@prettypennyschannel I don't believe Wendy can be meanie. I mean there's Don Rickles the sarcasm king aka insult comedian. I believe Wendy will definitely overpower these troughs.

[@GoblinsAreAGirlsBestFriend]

I appreciated Wendy's brand of directness but did wish that sometimes she'd been just a little more compassionate, and it's sad that's she's only now learning the power of compassion, but Karma is NOT punishment and I hate the way people pervert the word Karma now. Karma isn't punishment or revenge, it's not a get out of jail free card to revel in someone's suffering; reveling in someone's suffering in turn also causes bad Karma. I don't wish dementia on anyone and it's so sad that such a sharp and lively woman has to suffer from it so young.

[@angelbeauty8]

Totally agree. I liked watching Wendy but the vile comments and her lack of empathy made me stop watching. She had no regards to what her words might do to the ones she was talking about. She was on TV live gossiping and bullying celebrities. They can have all the money but they aren't robots. Negative talk hurts and it's an energy that will drag you down. There are consequences to our actions whether they were loving or mean spirited . That's karma

[@shaybar93]

No one can make me hate Wendy Williams. Because as much as she talked about others’ lives, she never hid her own demons.

[@javiruiz8365]

[@thomasyewcic3520]

She deserves nothing but love and peace during this time ❤

[@AdzaanMaiiTso]

'i would ask you to respect our privacy. but please, *i* don't respect people's privacy. that's why i do the Hot Topics.' she was so real for that, though. 😂

[@casandrabarnes-oq9fy]

Sometimes, the innocent and the guilty suffer the same outcome, but this doesn't mean there isn't such a thing called karma. Everything in life isn't black or white. If you've followed her career into New York radio you would know the real damage she did to so many people for just the sensationalism of the story. It was cruel to those people and their families. Wendy stayed with Kelvin, knowing he was disrespecting her and their son. If her story was someone else's and she was still on her show she would jump all over it. Don't get me wrong, I pray for her and feel sorry for ANYONE going through such pain and suffering. But some of this is self-inflicted. Be careful what you say and do because it can come back to bite you.

[@peachesenregal1a]

My dad died of this aged 51 in 2018. Wendy is hilarious and it’s a shock seeing so many people in the limelight recently get the same rare disease my dad had. I wish the best for her, she’s a queen 🙏

[@kathie1499]

IK I’ll be crying on this documentary on Wendy. Wishing her well & the strength to get through this without her Family for support.

[@uramisugi]

my own grandmother is currently in the late stages of rapidly progressive dementia she couldn't escape due to a genetics gamble she lost and watching her mind and body rapidly deteriorate knowing how sharp, happy and aware she was merely a year and a half prior after living with her our whole lives has been the most gutting, heartbreaking and difficult experience my family has ever gone through. anyone who says this is just wendy's "karma" are hypocrites and spitting in the face of average everyday individuals with this diagnosis as if this disease is some retribution for committed sins. wendy williams provided me with multiple laughs over the years and literally helped shape the internet culture i grew up with so all i wish for her and her family is a peaceful transition and healing when the time comes for her to go. 💔

[@STREETFOODJOURNEY5]

it's so sad and heartbreaking to watch this documentary. We both shared the same birthday and we have lots of personal similarities. My wish was for her to come back to reclaim her throne but now my only wish is she take time to heal and recover. miss you Queen 🥹

[@beaberrylious]

Her husband and her mothers passing did a number on her 😢

[@shanehinton5154]

Period! 😢

[@xtooseasoned]

Her delivery overall, was entertaining and sweet

[@Alexandra_K_]

I have mixed feelings about the docuseries because while it was hard to watch and did feel exploitative to me at times… I also feel like had the reality of the situation not been made so painfully clear to the public, there would be no hope for her and her family. Her health is in a SERIOUSLY poor state yet she has been surrounded by people who either refuse to take it seriously, are taking advantage of her, and/or are keeping her pent up in isolation to deteriorate. Wendy needs to be with HER FAMILY, period. The state she is in is truly shocking and her condition is degenerative. This guardianship and the people who have been undermining her family have nowhere to hide now. It was truly sad to see what has become of Wendy but I hope this will bring some real change.

[@theacidblue2928]

Its so sad, I hope she is taken cared by in a healthy and loving way from now on! ❤

[@sibria]

"tardy for the rent!" took me out 😂

[@MakaykayLAMB]

Wendy will go down in history. She’s one of our iconic interviewers. It’ll be hard to take that from her.

[@_b_e_a_n_s_]

To say that this is karma is fucking heartless. Yeah, I don't like her as a person. Yeah, she wasn't a kind human being on her TV show. But to say that dementia and aphasia is KARMA? That shows that nobody understands exactly how harrowing dementia can be. When you have dementia, you are confused, you lose yourself, you forget the people you love, you stop understanding words, you lose control of your own body. By the end, you sit there a confused husk, always trying to think "what is happening?" without being able to come up with the words for it. It's my biggest fear and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I fucking hate Ronald Reagan but when I found out he had Alzheimer's in his final years I couldn't help but feel bad. Nobody deserves a disease such as this one

[@FukYaLyf]

People who doesn't feel sorry for her and say she deserved it should be ashemed of their existing. I really loved her show because she always told truth - no matter how hurting it was. Stan twitter users were raging that she birngs out "dirty facts" about their biases, but in reality nobody is perfect and you have to accept it. It's so sad to see her fading away slowly, but we can't control this situation. I hope she will get lots of support and love that she needs now.

[@MikuHatsune159]

The word people want to use is "consequences". Like yes, for all her messy lifestyle choices and her career, she must face the consequences of her actions. Everything she's done has a cause and effect, but cognitive diseases like this don't have any real cause....it just happens. Nobody wants to see someone decline in the way Alzheimer's and dementia patients disappear....I might not have been a fan of what she does as a TV personality or as a person, but nobody would want to lose what they've worked hard for. It's just vengeance and pure malice if you hate someone for doing or having what you couldn't.

[@jnm2088]

The difference between Bruce and Wendy is that Bruce has been good to his friends and family. He just worked and never got involved with more Hollywood BS.

[@shutthedoor2052]

she made a good business making fun of other people. now, people are making business out of her.

[@sinezihear]

I'm only realizing now just how much I'll miss her. It's clear she ain't coming back like we're used to. For years she entertained us and there was always some new meme, but now we know she's probably never coming back, man it's so sad. I hope she can find comfort, happiness and stability. Idc what she's said about others in the past, she still deserves it. That's my mama

[@mostcreative3680]

She is so young to be having this developed of a case of Dementia. I wonder if they are doping her up like they did Britney. Either way Im glad to see some sort of exposure for her so that we know how she is doing but at the same time she is not in the right mental space to be able to approve things like this. Just from the short footage i've seen her mental and emotional state shifts dramatically very frequently.

[@dsa526]

Well a stranger is her guardian instead of her family and the family are not allowed to see wendy. Wells fargo is holding her money against her will. Wendy including the family cant touch it but the bank and the strangers around her can.
