Producers of Where Is Wendy Williams? say the Lifetime docuseries sheds light on Wendy Williams’ “dire” living conditions under a conservatorship.
《溫蒂·威廉姆斯在哪兒?》說,生活頻道的紀(jì)錄片揭示了溫蒂·威廉姆斯在監(jiān)護(hù)下“可怕”的生活條件。
Mark Ford and Erica Hanson, who served as executive producers, attended an awards consideration panel in Hollywood on May 1, where they said they were worried about Williams’ circumstances during production — as she was shown to have been living alone and without food in her refrigerator — and sought to get in touch with her loved ones.
作為執(zhí)行制片人的馬克·福特和埃里卡·漢森參加了5月1日在好萊塢舉行的一個獎項評審小組,他們說他們擔(dān)心威廉姆斯在制作期間的情況——因為她一直獨自生活,冰箱里沒有食物——并試圖與她的親人取得聯(lián)系。
“The deeper we got into it, we didn't want to let go of Wendy until we got her back in touch with her family,” Ford said. “Because we felt that at a certain point that's who's going to be there for her to care for her.”
福特說:“我們調(diào)查得越深入,就越不想放手溫蒂,直到我們讓她和家人重新取得聯(lián)系。”“因為我們覺得在某種程度上,那個人會在她身邊照顧她。”
Ford noted that at the time they were not made aware of her frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis and still had several questions post-production about why, as it appeared to them, Williams was not receiving adequate care and why her legal and financial guardian Sabrina Morrissey was “not responding to any kind of calls for help.”
福特指出,當(dāng)時他們并不知道威廉姆斯的額顳葉癡呆(FTD)診斷,并且在后期制作中仍然有幾個問題,為什么威廉姆斯沒有得到足夠的照顧,為什么她的法律和經(jīng)濟(jì)監(jiān)護(hù)人薩布麗娜·莫里西“沒有回應(yīng)任何求助”。
Morrissey has not responded to requests for comment on the documentarians’ allegations. But on Feb. 20, she filed a lawsuit in an attempt to block the 4.5-hour project from being aired. In the complaint, which was unsealed and obtained by PEOPLE, Morrissey slammed the network's documentary, claiming that it "shamelessly exploits [Williams] and portrays her in an extremely demeaning and undignified manner."
莫里西沒有回應(yīng)對紀(jì)錄片制作人的指控發(fā)表評論的請求。但在2月20日,她提起訴訟,試圖阻止這部4.5小時的節(jié)目播出。莫里西在《人物》雜志獲得的未公開的訴狀中抨擊了該電視臺的紀(jì)錄片,稱其“無恥地利用(威廉姆斯),以一種極其貶低和不體面的方式描繪她。”
Morrissey alleged that Lifetime "incorrectly states that she is 'broke' and cruelly implies that her disoriented demeanor is due to substance abuse and intoxication."
莫里西聲稱,《Lifetime》雜志“錯誤地宣稱她‘身無分文’,并殘忍地暗示她的迷失方向行為是由于濫用藥物和醉酒造成的。”
