WENDY Williams has been fighting for her privacy for the past week right before her docuseries’ premiere.

Wendy, 59, has a docuseries coming out on the Lifetime channel, but there have been recent legal moves to postpone the premiere.

The series would most likely focus on her diagnosis of aphasia and dementia.

The popular talk show host spoke out in an interview with People to ask fans for some breathing room.

Although she received a ton of support after her diagnosis went public, it appears to be too much for Wendy.

“I want to say I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia,” she shared in a statement.

“Let me say, wow! Your response has been overwhelming. The messages shared with me have touched me, reminding me of the power of unity and the need for compassion.”

Wendy added that she hoped her diagnosis would shed more light on the disease and help raise awareness.

“I continue to need personal space and peace to thrive.

“Please just know that your positivity and encouragement are deeply appreciated,” she said to conclude her statement.

A DOC?

Wendy didn’t realize she was filming a documentary while in her dementia struggle, an insider shared with The U.S. Sun.

Multiple sources exclusively told The U.S. Sun that while Wendy was filming her upcoming documentary for Lifetime, she had no idea what the camera crews around her were for.

“She believed she was filming podcast promotions at times, but she certainly did not seem to understand this was for a documentary,” a source revealed.

Another insider added: “She did not know she was filming a documentary.”

That source also added that Wendy would never have allowed herself to be filmed without her wig on – referring to a clip that was released showing her on her couch talking to Blac Chyna.

“If Wendy was of sound mind when she was filming, she would have never allowed for them to tape her like that,” they said.

“She never allowed to be seen without her hair.”

Two sources who participated in the docuseries said that Wendy was not the only one seemingly in the dark regarding the project.

One said they were told the project would paint Wendy in a positive light, but they were disappointed to watch the trailer.

BLOCKING THE PROJECT

Wendy’s legal guardian decided to come after Lifetime’s parent company in a private lawsuit, according to TMZ.

The lawsuit was announced right before the new documentary about the television star was supposed to come out this weekend.

Sabrina Morrissey has come out of the woodwork to be Wendy’s temporary guardian.

She filed the suit against A&E Television Networks, but she kept the details from the public by keeping it sealed.

The few details that could be obtained from the court documents seem to connect the lawsuit to the two-part documentary.

The project is called Where is Wendy Williams, and it was set to premiere on Lifetime on Saturday and Sunday at 8pm.

Sabrina also filed for a temporary restraining order, most likely to prevent the documentary from being aired, but the sealed documents make it impossible to know for sure.

The judge on the case ordered all documents to remain under seal until the hearing next week.
