Lifetime plans to move forward with the debut of its controversial new documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?
The network confirmed in a statement to PEOPLE on Friday: “Lifetime appeared in court today, and the documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? will air this weekend as planned.”
As of Thursday night, it appeared that Saturday's premiere might be postponed or canceled entirely after Wendy Williams’ court-appointed guardian filed a lawsuit seemingly seeking to halt the release of the documentary. (The legal documents are sealed, so the actual grounds for the suit are not publicly known.)
The lawsuit filing came hours Williams’ diagnosis of progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) was released by her guardian. This health news was, up to that point, unknown by Williams’ family, who claim the former talk show host has had limited contact with them since she was placed under the legal guardianship.
PEOPLE has reached out to representatives for Williams.
