Wendy Williams’ Team Asks Court For All Proceeds From Lifetime Docuseries To Fund Medical Care

The amended complaint in Wendy Williams‘ lawsuit against A+E Networks seeks all profits from the documentary chronicling her struggles to fund her medical care. Williams received $82,000 for the project, which portrayed her downward spiral due to family issues, fame, and alcohol consumption. “This is a paltry sum for the use of highly invasive, humiliating footage that portrayed her in the confusing throes of dementia, while Defendants, who have profited on the streaming of the Program have likely already earned millions,” the complaint states. Williams’ temporary guardian filed the lawsuit, alleging Williams did not have the capacity to authorize her participation. (THR)
