Finnie also claimed Williams was an executive producer on the documentary and was 'ready to take ownership for all that's happened in her life.'

Where Is Wendy Williams? highlights the 59-year-old's struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, and her niece, Alex Finnie, has warned viewers that they are going to witness 'a broken woman' in the two-part film - which sees Wendy have a tearful reunion with Blac Chyna.
During an exclusive interview with Deborah Roberts for ABC's Nightline, Alex claimed that Wendy's relatives were not 'benefitting from this' and were 'shut out' when they initially tried to help the mother-of-one, who she said had 'unhealthy habits.'
Dismissing claims that Wendy has been 'exploited' by her family, Alex told Deborah in the segment that aired on Thursday's Good Morning America: 'I will say this, first and foremost, my aunt is the executive producer of this documentary and she said, "Now is the perfect time because I want to take ownership of my story."'
'I said I wasn't going to cry because I feel like I have cried enough over the last year and a half, but what people are going to see is a broken woman who has had the world on her shoulders for so long and just cracked.'
Her comments came before Wendy's team announced later Thursday that the former radio DJ has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) as well as aphasia - which is a disorder that affects how someone communicates.
