(00:00):
Honest. It's all the stuff youneed to know what's hot in music,
movies, shows, and the mosttalked about stories happening today in the Bay.
So we have to talk about theWendy Williams docuseries. It aired over
the weekend on Lifetime. It's adocuseries called Where Is Wendy Williams. I
watched most of it, haven't quitefinished it yet. It is like episode
(00:24):
one, episode two, and thenepisode three and four, but it aired
in two parts, if that makessense. So I'm currently like somewhere in
episode three. But it is sosad to see how quickly Wendy went from
being like this loud, vibrant,just full of life personality, smart,
witty person to what we're now seeingon this show. And there's been a
(00:46):
lot of snippets out and a lotof rumors, and so I think everyone's
kind of known where this is heading. And then last week, if you
missed it, her healthcare team releasedwhat she's officially being diagnosed with frond ofton
pearl dementia and aphasia. I don'tknow if you saw this, but on
Friday, Wendy issued a statement andshe confirmed that that's currently what she's dealing
with. She said, I wantto say I have immense gratitude for the
(01:07):
love and kind words I've received aftersharing my diagnosis of aphasia and FTD.
Let me say, Wow, yourresponse has been overwhelming. Your messages have
touched me, reminding me of thepower of unity and the need for compassion.
And then thank you for their positivity, and she goes on and on
and on. I'm watching this show, though, I think I'm gonna say
(01:27):
what everyone else is just saying.She's mean, And I do want to
ask if this is a result ofwhat she's been dealing with health wise.
I honestly don't know. I thinkit can be okay. Well, that
would explain a lot because it goesfrom her like snapping on everyone around her,
and then two seconds later it showsher crying and cue the sad music,
(01:48):
And part of me is like,I feel bad for what she's dealing
with, but I also feel maybeworse for the people that are around her.
Yeah, the nails that she justsnapped on and played just a couple
of clips here and this one itshows Wendy she's getting her nails done and
she only wants one coat. Onlyone coat, please want Okay, guess
(02:12):
just what, oh god, whatare you doing. Let's just make sure
that the no take us off.Okay he said the same thing, take
that off? Are you stupid?She's disgusted with me. So that was
just that was just one of themany instances like that and this, and
and props to everyone who understands Wendy'snot well and they're able to keep their
composure and they handle it like likeprofessionals. In this next clip, Wendy's
(02:36):
talking to her publicist. I wishyou would get like both suction. Okay,
what is this now? They're inWendy's closet. Yeah, put it
in the same position. Please closeit all the way. And this is
how she's talking to everybody around her. I mean, I know that like
(03:00):
people that have Alzheimer's or some thingslike that can be extreme. They can
get like that, they can getvery aggressive and agitating. That's easily,
so I wonder if that's part ofit. I mean, it also does
sound like a bit of Wendy thatwe know from the past. You know,
she did have kind of a bigpersonality, seemed very forceful at time.
I don't know, and I've neverbeen around anyone who's had Alzheimer's or
(03:21):
dementias. So I honestly don't know. Like, if you have information,
you're like, oh, this isjust one of the symptoms. They become
more agitated or irritated. Let usknow, because a lot of people are
calling her out for how rude she'syou know, being to everybody. Aside
from that, it's just and Isaid this before, it's so sad to
see her just losing herself, ifthat makes sense. There's so many instances
(03:46):
of her just confused, lost,She doesn't remember anything she's talking. It's
not making sense here she is talkingto her niece. And throughout this entire
thing, Wendy thinks that she's gettingback on TV and her show's already been
canceled September. What about September?I go back on TV. So now
(04:08):
you're saying September is when you're goingto be like going back, going back,
that's according to my apartment. No, you're saying that she said the
show the show works, like whatLike, she's not able to hold a
conversation, she's calling family members bythe wrong names. She you know,
her driver who's been with her foryears, he was like, yeah,
she gets in now and she doesn'tknow who I am. That's hard,
(04:30):
really sad. It's it's so sadto watch How old is Wendy Williams fifty
nine? Fifty nine? Yeah?Wow, that's not and it happens so
funny. Yeah, terrible, SoGraham, and there's so many other things

bucks. Shut your mouth. ATand T says they understand how major of
a disruption that was to your lifeand to your work, and they want

hard cash. Oh wait, actuallyyou're gonna get an account credit for that
(05:15):
five dollars. They say that fivedollars is about the average amount it costs
it for a full day of service, So you know that's what you're gonna

within you know, one of yournext two billion cycles or so. They're
not really sure it's gonna be theresomewhere at and T still hasn't really elaborated
on what caused that out each otherthan what they vaguely said last week was

with this five bucks? Don't youthink it would have been better if they
didn't offer up anything like it happened? We were over it, we moved
on, But now you offering fivedollars is so disrespectful. They're adding salt
to the wound. The fact that, I mean, we all look at
cell phone bills and other things andlike there's a lot of mysterious fees on
