There’s some drama brewing behind the scenes at Lifetime. Media Take out is hearing that Wendy Williams may not have realized that she was filming a documentary in her dementia and alcohol struggle.
Under US law, a person has to consent to be filmed for a documentary. If Wendy was drunk or facing dementia, she may not have legally given Lifetime the ability to film her, Media Take Out confirmed with attorneys.
The U.S. Sun is reporting that while Wendy was filming her upcoming documentary for Lifetime, she had no idea what the camera crews around her were for.
One insider told the British mag “She believed she was filming podcast promotions at times, but she certainly did not seem to understand this was for a documentary.”
“She did not know she was filming a documentary,” another Wendy insider added.
That source added that Wendy would never have allowed herself to be filmed without her wig on – in reference to a clip that was released showing her on her couch talking to Blac Chyna without her hair on.
“If Wendy was of sound mind when she was filming, she would have never allowed for them to tape her like that. She never allowed to be seen without her hair.”
Both of the alleged sources appeared on camera in the docuseries said that Wendy was not the only one seemingly in the dark on the project.
One insider claims they were told the project would paint Wendy in a positive light and they were disappointed to watch the trailer.
Another claimed that they were misled into believing what they filmed had something to do with her apparently never to materialize podcast as well.
