Good Morning, y’all! LOL. Once again I have slept all day and did not want to get up to watch this movie. I mean I wanted to watch the Wendy Williams movies with you guys, but my body was in a very deep slumber it did not want to come out of. It looks like it is FOUR hours of show. I may have to bail halfway through and finish in the afternoon tomorrow. We shall see. I’ll probably just be awake until daylight again. #vampire
I am kind of shocked that Wendy is going to spill all of her own tea. She didn’t even tell us when her mother died. I want to know what was happening at this time. You can click while we watch to read all the sad and depressing posts from time that all of what were are about to learn more about was going on. What really happened to her arm? What is the real reason she fainted on the Halloween show? Did she really go to sober living?
CLICK HERE FOR ALL THE WENDY WILLIAMS TEA!
Let’s get ready to watch!
Well, since so many folks already spilled so much of Wendy’s tea all over social media for her, what else was she supposed to do? Still, I guess I have to give her credit for snagging some coins from her own story after all those YouTubers used her story to grow their clout.
It’s TIME! I’m going to stay a few minutes behind to avoid commercials. Plus I am watching Anthony Bourdain in Colombia on my DVR. I am just now getting to where I can watch those shows again. I’m excited for our viewing party!
Ugh, I think I will wait and watch four hours tomorrow.
I perhaps, well know, I will end up peeking the comments.
Enjoy the show, and have a good night!!
The actress playing Wendy kind of reminds me of Ramona…must be the coke.
LOL
Wendy’s mama in the movie looks just like her mama looked in real life.
I had that exact thought.
The actress sounds just like Wendy
Wow. Things get kind of brutal right away.
Love her straight up hustle in the beginning of her career. Takes major cajones to sit in lobby for 2 weeks to get a meeting. Gotta give props to her!
And apparently, that is the only two weeks she has ever been unemployed.
I’m watching. I was late though. I can’t function lately.
Thanks for joining us. I’m a little behind too. I’m at the part where she first meets Kevin This movie is REALLY good. Mostly because we “know” Wendy.
I’m at the point where Sharina has entered the picture.
ME TOO I love how they have her as unattractive. lol. And Charlamagne has arrived on the scene. This is so juicy!
It is a little corny, but pretty damn actuate so far.
What about Kevin?
It seems like she and Kevin got along really good at first. I had no idea she went she went through trying to get pregnant 🙁
Yea I did not realize all the pregnancy isssues either. I knew she was a mama bear about lil Kev.
Why were all of those people outside of the studio? Kevin had to send them away. Why?
Omg, this is really emotional.
I KNOW!
DAYUM! She lost a baby at NINE MONTHS! TWICE? This is horrible!!!
I just might have tossed his ass off that fancy railing.
I think it was at 5 months. Still…..Horrific!
I rewound it twice. Then again I’ve got some hearing issues… I can’t imagine having to deliver a dead baby and being sent home with nothing but footprints. WOW.
It’s the worst feeling in the world. I lost my 1st baby at 9 months. I was able to have 3 other beautiful kids after but it still breaks my heart & I never talk about her. She would’ve been 26 this August.
On a separate note I’ve recovered from Covid but my best guy friend died at home last Sunday. He text me Saturday night & I wasn’t able to reach him after so I had my daughter drive me over to his house. His box of food that he ordered for the week was sitting on the front porch. He didn’t answer the door. I contacted his son on Instagram & called for a welfare check. Ended up getting a call from the coroner a couple hours later. His son got my message & went over there & found him. He was 55 and very healthy. No underlying conditions so seeing Kelly & Emily out & about & flaunting it makes me so mad. My son works at a restaurant in Corona Del Mar & Kelly was there on Friday night with Shannon partying.
I’m so, so sorry. My heart goes out to you.
So sorry for you loss Kim. Glad you are feeling better.
Oh dang. That’s awful and so sad. I hate seeing people take this as a joke. And then there are the ones that equate masks to muzzles, and mind control?! I get that some people don’t have enough brains cells to argue with themselves, but the level of stupidity mixed with selfishness is absurd. Several of my nursing friends here have posted about how their Covid patients (even the most severe) refuse to believe Covid is real. Some won’t even call their families because they don’t believe they will die…and then they die. We are supposed to be smarter than we were when the flu pandemic hit over a hundred years ago, but I think inbreeding may be America’s downfall. Again,
Sorry for your loss and I wish you the best.
9/11 will haunt all of us forever.
I love how she took a paycut to get the hell out of Philly where the whore lived.
This actress really has some of Wendy’s mannerisms down.
DAMN!!!! Why did she stay with his ass so long and pay his damn bills?????
She told Andy last night, because she loved him, she was in love with him and some of us understand the internal struggle and external fight to keep that love no matter the consequences. I’m glad I woke up quicker then Wendy but I didn’t have the professional “overhead” to deal with…
I have to say that TashaK was SPOT ON WITH ALL OF THIS.
Yep. This documentary was smart. She told Andy on WWHL that she gave Kevin a chance to be involved, show his side, and he didn’t want to. He’s a POS! Idk how Wendy has kept herself together as much as she has. I know she’s been on the struggle bus, but DAYUUM I would’ve gone over the edge.
Yes she was…Tasha was also bang on the money re nasty T.I. and the bitter goblin Tiny…le sigh!
The fainting scene was spot on!
I’m reading, not watching, no lifetime at the nurse’s house so dvr on Thursday when I get home! I can not wait!
Thank you for doing this TT, I have been waiting for this weekend for a long time. I’m loving Wendy even more!
Of COURSE Banjo needs to go out and get water at the very end. Now I am behind again. I’m at the Florida rehab. She found out in rehab that Sharina was pregnant. Wow.
LOL I love how she busted loose from the goons.
Okay on to the documentary. I am wide awake now. That was good!
YESSSSSSS!!!!! Loving this!!!!
I enjoyed the movie. The tell all is LIT!
Wendy’s parents…Im headed over to Twitter. There’s a lot to unpack there about that generation of Black parents.
Actually, The View coined the whole Hot Topics thing.
It really tugs at the heartstrings watching her cry. I think she’s a strong lady, but even the strong can be broken. She’s definitely been through a lot. I’m up to where she’s about to name the one who sexually assaulted her. I’m sure a lot of this is hard to relive, but she’s smart doing this on her terms.
I wish she would have named the fucker.
Yea me too. She should’ve called him out.
Watching her cry is tearing me up.
She named him recently. A one hit wonder singer, Sherrick?, I think is his name
Thanks Rmicu, It appears he died in 1999 at age 41 and he has kids and a widow. So naming him really might not have been the best thing after all. But she did.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sherrick
This is so RAW!
I know! I can’t look away. She’s been through a whole lot.
For those who haven’t watched yet the reason we are not saying much in comments is because we are laser focused on what we are watching. It’s A LOT OF TEA.
If I’m recalling correctly, wasn’t it Straight from the A that initially reported on the side chick, her name, and that she had multiple abortions before Kevin allowed her to go through with the pregnancy that ended the marriage?
It could have been. I don’t remember. I just remember discovering TashaK during all of this and she had spies in the hospital when the babies were born that said the baby tested positive for THC! Now that’s a damn good source. lol.
The biggest shock to me is how much Wendy went through to have little Kevin. She talks on the show like she really didn’t want kids. I mean it is clear that she ADORES Kevin. But it seemed like getting pregnant was just something that happened that interrupted her job. That could not be farther from the truth,
I am totally crying. I am on your side Wendy! I believe you girl!
I know. This is all so very sad. It is amazing all she has overcome to get where she is.
I comment during commercials.
Does anything else think that Wendy looks like she is on more than whatever she is drinking for the interviews inside her house by the window?
Yes, allegedly.
I am fucking loving this! And I am only 20 minutes in.
Allegedly. Very important. And very current.
Hmmmmmm….The security guy James guy is hot!
I know right! That’s why Kevin fired him.
I’m not sure if I can watch the Whitney Houston movie. I feel like I lived through all of that, especially the Bobbi Christina stuff, in real time.
Wow, she is still not coming clean about her broken arm. She’s still covering for him to this day. You can tell she is lying about how her arm got broken. She just said she fell. No context. No nothing.
Yea I didn’t buy that either. There’s too much talk on here from others about how people feared Kevin. I don’t buy that he wasn’t physically abusive to her. I think she feels people really won’t understand her staying with him though physical abuse. It’s bad enough the side bitch all those years and not getting rid of him til the baby.
By “here” I meant the show not comments.
I am obsessed with Whitney Houston & cannot wait to see the new documentary next week. Extremely sad story & a cautionary tale for all. I have loved her since her debut on Merv Griffen ( I was in the fourth grade ) & followed her career until the day she passed. So misunderstood & such a tragic story but all who knew & loved her speak of her kindness & generosity. I still listen to all of her records.
YAY! Marc with a C is home from work for a rare comment! xo
We are three and a half hours in, and I would totally sit right here without moving and watch four more hours of this.
I know, right?
Wow both of her parents had strokes when Kevin had Wendy locked up in the sober living house. I’m hoping at the end they will tell us when her mother died. I find it hard to believe that Wendy never mentioned it until someone from the funeral mentioned it on their social media recently.
Well my DVR cut off a few seconds before all the credits rolled. Did they mention that her mother died at all?
No they didn’t. They didn’t even mention her mother’s death. I also found it hilarious that they stated they reached out to mr Hunter for his statement and through a rep he said anything mentioned about him is inaccurate and false! Okay, kev! Lol
Did I understand that correctly? She was in sober living but wasn’t using drugs or drinking?
Yeah Kevin wanted to have her locked away. First in Florida then in the sober house. He had medical authority over her and had her locked away and thugs took her to and from work. That must have been terrifying. Can you imagine being put in involuntary rehab by your husband?
Watch who you give medical power of attorney to for sure.
Yes. I know someone whose hisband did that to her. She was makorly screwed up by it and almost lost her mind. This just shows how Wendy’s ex wanted to continue using her for money , remaining in control of his money making machine. What a major talentless A _ _! She never needed him to become successful. What makes me happy is now Wendy is control of her narrative. I do believe her career will continue evolve. Whether shes on something or not . This lady is successful, talented and smart as hell.
He is the devil. Oh my God. I need to watch it again.
I hope Wendy isn’t too hard on herself for staying with him for so long. It would be hard for me to admit that I could be so wrong about someone so close to me. I’m so glad she’s out and got away from him
That’s how I took it other than drinking the 2 bottles of wine waiting for his sorry ass to come home back whenever Sharina’s pregnancy came out. Wendy does seem like she’s partaking in something at times, but honestly I’d have to in order to deal with all she has.
Actually my ex-husband threatened to do something similar. He wanted to have me committed because I found out he was having an affair but turned it around to make me think it was my fault and that I was crazy. And yes, it is terrifying
I am so sorry that happened to you. It is very scary and scars are left to deal with. Please take care of you.
Loved this. She really put it out there and owned it. I do wish she would have acknowledged the abuse more affirmatively. As a survivor of domestic violence, I have no doubt this man hit her. But moreover, coercive control is ABSOLUTELY abuse. My heart really broke for her, she’s been through a lot.
One request. Please breakdown the details. I had no idea this was a thing or was on.
Wow. I knew this woman had been through a lot, but damn. Very strong, wise and smart to put this all out there. Sorry ass excuse for a man, but to her… love of her life. A healthy son and her career all on the line live on national TV. I knew this movie and interview was going to draw me in, …makes me sick what she went through. Hi TT, I go to your site almost every day but haven’t commented since Anthony Bourdain post . So many posts I’ve wanted to reply to, but didn’t feel worthy. Writing used to be my jam! There is quite a brilliant and down to earth family here. Take care y’all
Hey Girl HEY! Funny you should mention Bourdain. I’ve been revisited my saved shows lately. It’s taken me this long to be able to do it. Also, I need to get a better DVR and that would mean trading in the current one and losing all my Bourdain stuff. CNN needs to do a marathon again after I get a new box.
PLEASE COMMENT! What the heck do you mean by not worthy? HAVE YOU MET US? 🙂 You are most welcome to comment here and I may just have to insist!
Okay, will do! Yep, we’ve all met. You and most folks on here say all the things I resonate to. Good/bad and ups and downs…
BTW, ya scared the shit out of me when you talked about closing the site while back. Don’t be doing that girl, we need each other!
The movie version just didn’t make sense to me. It jumped from amazing, strong career woman to always a victim with these men and doing nothing wrong. It didn’t make sense.
Really makes me wonder what the rest of the story is.
I’m watching again today. There was so much, I had to make sure I got everything.
Super Gluing Mailbox – Pro Move ?
Gorilla Glue at that. I might have, allegedly, poured a random household cleaner on a cheating boyfriend’s work clothes. But he should have used better judgment before giving me a key to his house. Don’t ask me to take care of your dog and leave used condoms in both bathrooms.
YES!
So, great revenge story – my girlfriend found out her boyfriend was cheating on her , we were 20. She picks me up, drive to his workplace & I watched her peel and seal 8 boxes of Kotex pads on his brand new corvette.
I sat in her car crying with laughter – he took it, no harm no foul. 30+ years later, that story comes up every now and then.
I didn’t get the whole super gluing the mailbox thing. I also didn’t get why the side piece came into her driveway and started taking photos.
Me neither. Maybe Sharina saw the private investigator taking pictures of her, so she went and did it to her?
I probably read too much into that scene – I think when she opened mailbox, saw Kevin’s name on mail…..thinking, he’s hiding shit on steroids.
Totally think side piece was doing tit for tat, rolling up –
See, I remember you posting that.
I’m not a Wendy Williams fan, but I can relate to get desire to have a man around to love and protect her. It also seems to happen far, far too often that men don’t deal well with having a wife that’s more successful than they are.
Yezzz! ? Spray painting…not so much though
I was okay with the spray painting. But not WHAT she spray painted. I would have spray painted WHORE HOUSE. Or something about the bitch fucking my husband. She painted a third grade Valentine.
Watching the movie over the weekend made me turn her on today. She happened to mention the mailbox/spray paint thing. She said she super glued the mailbox because it would be extremely inconvenient for him to get a new one. They are expensive and a pain in the ass (true). She said she spray-painted Wendy and Kevin 4-Eva because it was a nice neighborhood and she knew if she wrote something crass the neighbors would make them fix it immediately. She also described in detail what she was thinking,doing. I was glad I caught it.
That show was so good! I wish she would have just talked about it the whole time.
WHORE HOUSE … and leave it there. Not giving her the dignity to who she’s fucking and who his wife is
Holy shit. I missed that Kevin was behind the sober living house. Was that in the movie or the documentary? Or did you report it? My memory…. what a horrible asshole.
If I had a husband who literally, physically protected me ( and I needed protection from rappers I’d pissed off) and waited on me for 9 months while I was on bed rest, it would probably take a LONG time and something big, like a pregnancy, to accept that I needed to leave him. There’s also the trauma bond from the miscarriages. I don’t think my brain would let me see it at first. She must have been in shock when she spray painted the house. I think it would turn me upside down to go through a betrayal like what Kevin did to Wendy.
I’ve never been much of a Wendy Williams fan. Watching the movie and then the documentary afterward gave me a better understanding of who she is. It made me feel very sad for her.
Loved the movie and the documentary! I think she is truly brokenhearted over Kevin, I think she really loved him and just kept accepting his treatment of her and cheating. A side piece is one thing, bit a side piece with a baby was her breaking point. I don’t think she can bring herself to admit if he physically abused her. When she spoke about her broken arm you could see she didn’t even believe what she said, almost sarcastic about it. I feel for her, she’s one of those people who appear to be so strong–and she is is many ways, but she can be hurt to her core and cry just like the rest of us. I give her a lot of credit for telling her own story, warts and all. Flaming Hot Doritos and caviar, who knew?
Yes, that is what clear shock looks like. Even when you think it’s coming,…you know it’s coming. Knocks ya right on your ass. Take your time if you need to but, GET UP. Always get back up.
I’m from New Zealand and didn’t expect to have the movie here (I watch her on YouTube), but I’m so excited to see it on the free streaming service here!
Caught the rerun last night and omg I’m so glad I did—try to find time to watch if you haven’t already.
I’m laughing at myself because lifetime showed them in reverse and I spent part of the tell all thinking you all weren’t kidding that the actress had Wendy down lol. It took me a bit to figure out what I was watching rofl!
There is a lot to unpack. But it was very well done and a great way to spend four hours! I’m so glad there was a thread about it here or I never would have known about it.
You are hilarious¡
I kept falling asleep during the movie on Saturday afternoon so I don’t think it held my interest.
I then began watching the documentary, gave up and came back this morning. It was interesting. I feel that while she probably still loves her husband she despises him, too.
I got answers to some things which caused me to lose being a fan, and very disappointed with Wendy Williams.I was a huge huge fan.
I knew she was not a addict. She was not going to risk her career and everything. She never mentioned alcohol and would not do her son like that after him having issues.(Nothing was making sense)
I was disappointed with thinking that it was to promote the HUNTER FOUNDATION.(addicted to opiods, never her thing. She was not an addict. She let coke go too far as many of us did in the 80-90’s.)
One day apparently “a driver” had it take 8 hours to get her home. Days later she was crying saying ” it’s been 3 days since that day ” it was obviously something more and she was with a driver not hers and came across scared and traumatized.here
I cannot imagine the fear, betrayal and her reaction which to me was from her depths of pain, and I am sorry she went through that.
I am back to being a fan, and feel she went where she needed to. I also think there was physical abuse and I would like to know what she was up to when she was going to do a project with contractors, etc. but wouldn’t say and was going to have her dad help her.
I thought she was splitting the house, lol.)was on the aftershow, and super weird but underlying information she wasn’t going to share.
I remember so many things from that time, and now realize it was way bigger than I thought.
I think it was from the HUNTER FOUNDATION until sober living that her reaction was appropriate for a huge shocking betrayal, not a sudden addiction.
Kudos to Wendy Williams for the success of the movie and doc.
I still go over things said, when, how, and like I said, I have reinstated my fandom for Wendy Williams.?
I was looking forward to Wendy Williams today and just hit play and it’s a repeat. I don’t think it was supposed to be.
Maybe it’s the weather?
Yeah, I hadn’t seen this episode but it is what I forgot to ask.
Was anyone else surprised by Andy Cohen being AS involved in the documentary?
He just had one little interview. Literally like two minutes. That said, I didn’t find it to be genuine at all. Those two are not BFFs. Andy just likes being on as many things as possible. Wendy mentioned on WWHL that he was part of the movie. And right away I thought “Oh so that is why Andy had her on WWHL.”
Like I said, SO involved, LOL just kidding.
Seemed like he was more involved. I don’t know why she had him involved at all. That two mins would never have Andy Cohen as my guess as having anything to contribute.
Very odd, very very odd.
I mentioned that on WWHL how Andy just didn’t seen thrilled she was on. Then he shows up on her documentary? Weird.
Also, still wonder about her L.A. aftermath visit and befriending Blac Chyna, Kris Jenner, maybe Kevin caused problems somewhere? I figured that the NeNe situation was to make up for the problems with her Kevin caused at that ladies conference or ?
Still have questions that I can’t figure out.
OMG this movie is boring as F. Seriously it’s so freakin self servingly designed to make her look better. At the beginning the actress did the Wendy Williams high af shuffle really well, but then it just went to hell. Wendy did drugs, big deal, they all do, she collapsed on screen but was that real or displayed. All of the dialog just seemed fake as shit. One unbelievable thing said after another. Well, Almost none of it. I believe the child dialog. This is an almost completely fake view of her I believe.I just do not believe very much about this show about her. It’s completely self serving.
Le sigh. We can’t even agree on abused women, REALLY? I’m starting to feel like these are not your opinions, you are just purposely taking the wrong side on everyfucking thing.
Well it’s not like that, in fact I’ve withheld my opinions frequently because I’ve thought that would be the conclusion. In this case I just feel it was narrated in a self serving way and that’s not necessarily a total negative. It is what it is. Like when she says oh my goodness … No just no … That’s not a thing I believe a heavy drug user would ever say and it just goes on. I just don’t believe real people said a lot of the things said during this thing. I just do not. I think a hell of a lot of the dialog is fake af.
Well, you know I love you. But you are a man. And I don’t think there is any way to explain this to you. But as someone who has been in a similar situation, I think it is just something you do not understand. I’m sure the movie is not a replica of what happened. But you seem to be missing the overall point a bit. As a guy I get that. But as a woman it is all too familiar. And as someone I truly like, I wish you could be a bit more understanding, that is all. It’s one thing to disagree who we like on TV shows. It’s another to discredit a woman who was raped by one guy and then manipulated by her own husband. I get you are saying some of the dialogue was fake. I am sure it was it was a movie. But I’d love you a bit more if you acknowledged in some way what she clearly went through.
After sitting on all of this for a while, it reminds me of the way my alcoholic relative would tell his story.
He was totally sober at rehab and didn’t need rehab at all. It was his wife’s fault he was drinking so much. He’d leave out the sleeping until noon every day and barely seeing his kids or the embarrassing drunk dials or when he went out in pajamas. He was completely blameless in all his relationships falling apart and he was TONS OF FUN when he was using.
He’d leave out all the friends and family he had let down and betrayed, the work dinners he bombed being sloshed, the embarrassing nights out, the hiding the bottles in the trash to conceal how much he was drinking, the no showers.
Everything bad was someone else’s fault, and everything good was all him. He was a shitty friend and an even shittier husband, but he’d never admit that. It was always something wrong with them, and he was always a victim.
