Former broadcaster Wendy Williams was filmed breaking down in tears as she revealed she has 'no money' in a new trailer for her documentary.
It's been just three years since Williams' chat show, The Wendy Williams Show, came to an end, but the host quickly disappeared from the spotlight and left fans wondering about her wellbeing.
Now, an upcoming documentary is set to offer an insight into the life of the 59-year-old star.
Titled Where Is Wendy Williams, the two-part documentary is set to air on Lifetime and follows Williams and members of her family as she navigates life away from her chat show.
A trailer for the doc was posted on Thursday (1 February), but was deleted soon afterwards. However, the trailer was captured by a social media user and can still be found in various posts online.

Williams is also seen clutching on to a pillow and crying, while her loved ones express their concern and describe how she was 'crying out for help'.

Wendy's son, Kevin Hunter Jr., claims his mom has 'done a really good job at making it seem like everything's okay' but adds: "In reality, there's something wrong going on."
Elsewhere in the trailer, members of Williams' family express concerns about people taking advantage of her, and about a financial guardianship that she was placed under in 2022.
Her sister, Wanda, gets emotional in the trailer as she says: “We are her family and you tell me that I’m not capable of taking care of my sister. What would you do? What should I do?”
Williams left her talk show as she experienced struggles with addiction, while also living with Graves' disease.
