Wendy Williams Documentaries Race on Peacock and Netflix

Peacock and Netflix are each developing a separate documentary about former daytime‑talk‑show host Wendy Williams, and both platforms are vying to be the first to release the film. The Peacock project is reported to involve Williams’s longtime executive producer Suzanne Bass, though sources differ on whether Williams herself will appear; one says her health precludes new filming, while another claims the documentary never intended to feature fresh interviews.

Williams’s guardianship, overseen by court‑appointed guardian Sabrina Morrissey, has been the subject of dispute, with her ex‑husband Kevin Hunter filing a federal lawsuit challenging the arrangement. Attorneys for both Williams and her guardians have contested public reports about her diagnoses of primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, saying they have not seen the medical records.

The competing efforts highlight the media‑industry interest in chronicling Williams’s rise and recent health challenges.
