According to Lifetime, the two-part documentary promises viewers "a raw, honest and unfiltered reality of Wendy’s life after she was placed under financial guardianship, shedding light on the vulnerabilities that has turned Wendy into the Hot Topic herself."
"Suffering mental and physical issues, Wendy’s delicate state of mind, erratic behavior and declining health were all captured by the cameras."
Lifetime claims Williams 'delicate state of mind, erratic behavior and declining health' were caught on cameras for the doc.
On Wednesday, Williams' team released a statement to "correct inaccurate and hurtful rumors about her health."
"As Wendy's fans are aware, in the past she has been open with the public about her medical struggles with Graves' Disease and Lymphedema as well as other significant challenges related to her health," the statement read.
"Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy's ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy's condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions."
Williams' team announced she was diagnosed with “primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia."
The statement went on to announce Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, the same disease that's plagued actor Bruce Willis.
"In 2023, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD)," the statement revealed.
Aphasia is a condition "affecting language and communication abilities," and FTD is a progressive disorder impacting "behavior and cognitive functions."

The former talk show host's camp made a point to note that Williams is "still able to do many things for herself" and the decision to announce her diagnosis was to "advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy."
