Wendy Williams Drops Manager & Publicist

Last weekend on the "Where is Wendy Williams," documentary on Lifetime, fans of the former daytime talk show host were introduced to her hard-driving manager, Will Selby, and her enabler publicist, Shawn Zanotti, who both were at odds with Wendy's family and seemed oblivious to the fact she was suffering from dementia [click here if you missed that].

Shawn and Will are no longer working for Wendy...

WENDY Williams is no longer working with former manager Will Selby and publicist Shawn Zanotti, who starred with the ailing host on her explosive Lifetime documentary.

Multiple sources have confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Wendy's publicist Shawn has been out of the picture for some time, while her jeweler-turned-manager, Will, is said to be in contact with the star but not on a professional basis.

"Shawn was in hot water after she took Wendy to Los Angeles," the source said, noting the tumultuous trip she took with Wendy, 59, which was shown in the new Lifetime docuseries.

"The last time Shawn did any sort of work for Wendy was in May, as she still needed a publicist when she had to back out of her speaking gig at the Atlanta Women's Expo after being hospitalized.

"Shawn handled that fallout from the Expo, but she's been out of the picture ever since Wendy went into treatment this time," the insider explained.

A second source said, "Will had initially remained involved in Wendy's care, and he is one of the few people who knows where she is, but he's no longer working with her."

Will, who was originally Wendy's jeweler, became her manager in the aftermath of the star losing her eponymous daytime talk show in June 2022.

Shawn began working with Wendy in early 2022 after she was introduced to the star through an attorney who was handling an action against Wells Fargo after the bank locked her out of accounts.
