Wendy Williams Didn't Know She Was filming a Documentary?

Two years ago when former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams' reappeared after abandoning 'The Wendy Williams Show' without explanation, she excitedly announced to her fans that she was getting a podcast, though it was painfully obvious she had no idea what a podcast was [click here if you missed that]. 

Last week, ahead of the shocking two-part "Where is Wendy Williams" documentary that aired on Lifetime, Wendy's family made the rounds in the media promoting the doc, insisting Wendy was on board with the project because she, "wanted to take ownership for everything that happened [click here if you missed that]." 

Now sources close to production claim Wendy thought she was filming for her podcast and had no clue she was filming an exposé style documentary...

From The Sun

WENDY Williams did not realize she was filming a documentary in her dementia struggle as the Lifetime series is set to air this weekend, an insider has 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.

"She did not know she was filming a documentary," another Wendy insider added.

That source added that Wendy would never have allowed herself to be filmed without her wig on - in reference to a clip that was released showing her on her couch talking to Blac Chyna without her hair on.

"If Wendy was of sound mind when she was filming, she would have never allowed for them to tape her like that. She never allowed to be seen without her hair."

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

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

Another claimed that they were misled into believing what they filmed had something to do with her apparently never to materialize podcast as well.

The second Wendy insider also questions if the star even knows that a docu-series was being released last weekend.
