Hulu on Thursday dropped a fresh “IMPACTxNightline” episode titled “IMPACTxNightline: “What’s Happening with Wendy Williams?” where the beleaguered former talk show host discusses her court-appointed guardianship, her dementia diagnosis and living in the memory unit of a healthcare facility.

Produced by ABC News Studios, the episode is led by “Nightline” co-anchor Byron Pitts and features a new audio interview with Wendy Williams, and interviews with those close to her, including her brother, Tommy Williams, and her friends Sunny Hostin, a former federal prosecutor and co-host of “The View,” and Jason Lee, CEO of Hollywood Unlocked.

Additional interviews include Henry Brown, Wendy Williams’ former colleague at KISS FM 98.7; Janine Rubenstein, editor-at-large, PEOPLE magazine; Dr. Leah Croll, neurologist; Kelley Carter, senior entertainment reporter, Andscape; and Brian Buckmire, ABC News legal contributor.

According to a logline, Wendy Williams has broken her silence on her guardianship, challenging her dementia diagnosis and pleading for her independence. “IMPACT x Nightline” speaks with Williams and dives deep into her case as her guardian calls for her to be reevaluated.

Last week, Williams’ guardian Sabrina Morrissey called for a “new medical evaluation” in a court filing after the former talk show host made an appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” claiming she wasn’t “incapacitated,” PEOPLE reported.

“I don’t have frontotemporal dementia…it’s disgusting,” Williams commented on the radio program on the Wednesday, February 5 episode of the radio show. “That’s a very rare thing for anybody to have.”

“I’m not incapacitated,” she added. “I am not a baby.”

Morrissey is actively suing A&E Networks, Lifetime Entertainment and its affiliated companies, stemming from the Lifetime airing of the docuseries “Where is Wendy Williams?” in 2023, claiming the entities “shamelessly exploits [Williams] and portrays her in an extremely demeaning and undignified manner.”

In the filing, it’s said that “This case arises from the brutally calculated, deliberate actions of powerful and cravenly opportunistic media companies working together with a producer to knowingly exploit [Williams].”

For 12 of the show’s 13 seasons, Wendy Williams hosted the popular daytime talk show “The Wendy Williams Show,” which was produced and distributed in national syndication by Debmar-Mercury.

    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.

    • This is 100% correct.  It was even on the nightly news where the US Government would not let the cast and crew travel to Egypt because it was deemed not safe.  The Achille Lauro hijacking took place on October 7, 1985, when the Italian ocean liner MS Achille Lauro was hijacked by four men representing the Palestine Liberation Front off the coast of Egypt, as she was sailing from Alexandria to Ashdod, Israel. The location shoot was probably scheduled to be filmed in mid-October to air throughout November with a two week tape to air date.  Remember on the show they did some in studio scenes doubling for Egypt before shifting the action to Arizona.  It was an awkward end to a truly bizarre storyline.

      New episode from late 1973 or early 1974!
    • Coronation Street had a very good story where one of the characters befriended a man who she later learned had been involved in her husband's death - when told right it can be very powerful (not like AMC trying to make it a romance). ATWT almost had a big fire in mid-1994, so this seemed to be a "thing" with P&G at the time. I guess it fits the disaster backstage atmosphere.
