Lifetime's Wendy Williams documentary will air this weekend after effort to block broadcast fails

Lifetime’s “Where is Wendy Williams?” documentary will air this weekend as scheduled after a New York court rejected an attempt to block the broadcast. The order signed Friday by a New York appellate judge says blocking the documentary from airing would be an “impermissible prior restraint on speech that violates the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.” The ruling clears Lifetime’s two-night broadcast plan for “Where is Wendy Williams?”, which includes new footage of the former talk show host. The order comes a day after Williams’ care team issued a statement saying the former host has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
