Wendy Williams finishes full bottle of vodka in bed in new doc

Former talk show host Wendy Williams revealed in her new documentary that she used to down an entire bottle of vodka while lying in bed all day.

In one scene of “Where’s Wendy Williams?”, the 59-year-old is confronted by her manager, Will Selby, who inquires about an empty vodka bottle in her room, per the Daily Mail.

“So, did you eat something, or did you have a liquid lunch,” Selby asks the legendary television personality, who is seen lying in a pink bathrobe in her cheetah-print bed. “Because I came into your room, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, I happened to notice one of your specialty items.”

“Did you drink this all today,” he further probes.

“Yes,” Williams responds before quickly changing her answer to “no.”

“I don’t know if you need this right now,” Selby adds soothingly.

“I’m not drunk,” protests Williams.

“I never said you was drunk, but I just don’t know if this is a good idea,” Selby says. “So, you think you’re perfectly fine having as many drinks as you want?”

“Perfectly,” an irate Williams retorts before adding “f–k you!”

Selby, pleading to “keep it cool,” tells Williams that he was planning to move the bottle downstairs — a decision that did not sit well with the daytime TV icon.

“Keep it there,” Williams pleads to her manager.

During an on-camera interview, Selby revealed that he doesn’t “know how much alcohol she consumes.”

“I don’t know how much alcohol she consumes, but I threw the damn liquor away,” he said speaking to the camera. “And I’m just gonna be honest with you. I don’t know if it’s gonna stop her.”

“I never feel powerless, but I do feel like I just need help because I can’t do this alone,” Selby laments. “I would be lying to you if I would think that I could conquer alcoholism alone.”

Following the interview, Williams is asked point blank if she plans to stop drinking.

“No,” she responds. ”Will [Selby] drinks. We all drink — why can’t I?”

The shocking scene from the explosive documentary comes days after Williams herself revealed that she had been diagnosed with primary aggressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

“On behalf of Wendy Williams Hunter, her care team is sharing this very personal update with her cherished fans, friends and supporters to correct inaccurate and hurtful rumors about her health,” read a statement released Thursday morning.

“As Wendy’s fans are aware, in the past she has been open with the public about her medical
struggles with Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema as well as other significant challenges related
to her health,” it continued. “Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy’s ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy’s condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions.

“In 2023, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with
primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) … [they] have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy’s life.”

Aphasia is a symptom marked by difficulty with language and communication while FTD, a progressive disorder, impacts behavior and cognitive functions.

Bruce Willis is currently battling the same two medical issues. He retired from acting in 2022 due to his aphasia and was diagnosed with FTD in 2023.

Williams later issued her statement regarding her diagnosis.

“I want to say I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). Let me say, wow! Your response has been overwhelming,” Williams told People on Friday.

“The messages shared with me have touched me, reminding me of the power of unity and the need for compassion,” she continued.

“I hope that others with FTD may benefit from my story. I want to also thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness of FTD.”

“I continue to need personal space and peace to thrive. Please just know that your positivity and encouragement are deeply appreciated,” Williams concludes.
