A tumultuous period of Wendy Williams' life will be on display in the two-part Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?, but two of the former talk show host's family members say she is in a better place now and getting the help she needs.
溫蒂·威廉姆斯動蕩的一生將在兩集的Lifetime紀(jì)錄片《溫蒂·威廉姆斯在哪里?》但是這位前脫口秀主持人的兩位家人說,她現(xiàn)在在一個更好的地方,得到了她需要的幫助。
In a new interview with PEOPLE, Williams' sister, Wanda Finnie, and niece, Alex Finnie, addressed her treatment for cognitive issues at an undisclosed facility. "I spoke with her yesterday and I speak with her very regularly when she reaches out to me," Wanda said. "She is, from what I understand, in a wellness, healing type of environment."
在接受《人物》雜志采訪時,威廉姆斯的妹妹旺達·芬尼和侄女亞歷克斯·芬尼談到了她在一家未公開的機構(gòu)接受的認(rèn)知問題治療。旺達說:“我昨天和她談過,當(dāng)她向我求助時,我經(jīng)常和她談。”“據(jù)我所知,她處在一個健康、治愈的環(huán)境中。”
She added, "We cannot reach out to her, but she can reach out to us. And she is in a healing place emotionally. She's not the person that you see in this film."
她補充說,“我們無法聯(lián)系她,但她可以聯(lián)系我們。她的情感也在療傷中。她不是你在這部電影中看到的那個人。”
Airing Feb. 24 and 25, Where Is Wendy Williams? promises to explore Williams' health issues, including the autoimmune disorder Graves' disease, memory loss, and substance abuse. (Williams is an executive producer on the project.) Previously released clips highlight her increasingly fragile state prior to being admitted to the facility, with Williams screaming at family members and weeping into a pillow.
《Wendy Williams在哪里?》將于2月24日和25日播出。有望探索威廉姆斯的健康問題,包括自身免疫性疾病格雷夫斯病、記憶力減退和藥物濫用。(威廉姆斯是這個項目的執(zhí)行制片人。)之前發(fā)布的視頻片段顯示,威廉姆斯在入院前的狀態(tài)越來越脆弱,她對家人大喊大叫,抱著枕頭哭泣。
Williams took time away from The Wendy Williams Show in 2021, citing "serious" health complications, and the program concluded in in 2022. That same year, Williams had her bank accounts frozen after her financial adviser alleged she was of "unsound mind," according to court filings obtained by PEOPLE. She currently has a court-appointed legal guardian overseeing her finances and health.
2021年,威廉姆斯以“嚴(yán)重”的健康并發(fā)癥為由退出了《溫迪·威廉姆斯秀》,該節(jié)目于2022年結(jié)束。根據(jù)《人物》獲得的法庭文件,同年,威廉姆斯的財務(wù)顧問稱她“精神不正常”,她的銀行賬戶被凍結(jié)。她目前有一名法院指定的法定監(jiān)護人監(jiān)督她的財務(wù)和健康。
Speaking to PEOPLE, Williams' niece Alex said that these days her aunt "sounds really great. To hear my aunt now in terms of just how clear she is, just how focused she is on the importance of family and the reality in terms of facing and understanding where she's at physically and mentally and emotionally, it is like a 180."
威廉姆斯的侄女亞歷克斯在接受《人物》雜志采訪時表示,這些天她的姑姑“聽起來真的很棒。現(xiàn)在聽我姑姑說她是多么清楚,多么專注于家庭的重要性,以及面對和理解她的身體、精神和情感狀況的現(xiàn)實,感覺就像180度大轉(zhuǎn)彎。”
Wanda added, "I don't know what is working, but I do know that when she did reach out to me, it was a person who is remarkably different than what we see in that documentary."
旺達補充說,“我不知道是什么起作用了,但我知道,當(dāng)她主動聯(lián)系我時,她和我們在那部紀(jì)錄片中看到的人截然不同。”
Positive developments aside, Wanda said the family is unclear why the court appointed Williams a guardian, adding that the court papers have been sealed.
除了積極的進展外,萬達表示,家人不清楚法院為什么指定威廉姆斯為監(jiān)護人,并補充說法庭文件已被封存。
"All I know is that Wendy and her team walked into the courtroom one way, and they walked out, and the family is completely excluded," she said. "How did she go from this aunt or sister that we love and is healthy one minute to this person who's in and out of the hospital? How is that system better than the system the family could put in place? This system is broken."
“我所知道的是,溫迪和她的團隊以一種方式走進法庭,然后又走了出去,她的家人完全被排除在外,”她說。“她是如何從一個我們愛的、健康的阿姨或姐姐變成這個在醫(yī)院進進出出的人的?”這個系統(tǒng)比家庭可以建立的系統(tǒng)有什么好?這個系統(tǒng)壞了。”
