From financial guardianship and her battle with disease and alcoholism to isolation and questions about her mental stability, it’s all there.
“I have no money,” Wendy says on camera, wearing a black Chanel sweater and a Chanel pearl necklace. “And let me tell you something: if it happens to me, it can happen to you.”

Since the trailer dropped, social media has lit up with commentary on what is to come later this month. Everyone has something to say or opine about the celebrity host. Just like one of the most controversial parts of her show, Wendy is a “Hot Topic.”
If the documentary is as exposing as it appears, Wendy may be up for a long road of media scrutiny and social chatter. We applaud Wendy’s courage, bravery, and decision to own her personal story.
The documentary will air in two parts starting on February 24. HB, will you be watching? See the official trailer below.
