The former ‘Wendy Williams Show’ host and reality star reveal their unlikely friendship and a touching moment in the upcoming film
In a gripping new Lifetime documentary former talk show host Wendy Williams is an open book about her troubles over the past few years, and she also reveals a surprising friendship.
Where Is Wendy Williams? shows shocking, painful scenes from the star’s journey following the cancellation of her show in 2022 and the start of her court-appointed guardianship. Be it her alcohol abuse or myriad health issues, the cameras capture it all.

But there are also deeply touching moments, like one shared here in an exclusive clip with PEOPLE, where former reality star Angela “Blac Chyna” White drops by to check on Williams.
“You’ve always been like, honest with me, and put me in my place, in the most motherly, kind way,” Chyna, 35, tells Williams, 59, who sits in her New York City apartment, cloaked in a Gucci coat, staring intently at her friend. Moments prior, Williams, known for her varying wigs, has removed the one she’s wearing to show her real hair.

In the extended scene, which will be shown in the doc, she also breaks down during the tender moment and shows Chyna her feet, now misshapen due to lymphedema.
The close friendship first grew out of gossip. Back in 2020, after years of being mentioned on Williams’ show, Chyna decided to set the record straight, sitting down with the then-host for an interview about her life and headline-fueling entanglements with the Kardashians.

“We talk about you a lot on Hot Topics,” Williams told her at the time, adding, “You’re very controversial,” to which Chyna responded, “Thank you.”
Off screen, the pair formed a real-life bond after that day. Chyna, who has recently opened up about her own past substance abuse, tells Williams in the clip that she wants to be there for her, just as Williams had been there in the past.
“That’s why I love you so much, because even when I was going through my darkest times you never used that against me,” she tells Williams. “That’s how you know that the love is genuine and it’s always going to be there. And I’m going to always be here for you, straight up.”
But to that Williams responds with a non sequitur, suddenly telling Chyna “My real name is Wendy Hunter. Yup. And I’m divorced. He’s got no money.”
When a concerned Chyna responds, “I love you,” Williams, seeming more like herself, shares “So do I,” before the two embrace.
Where Is Wendy Williams? premieres Saturday at 8 p.m. and concludes at the same time the next day on Lifetime.
