Wendy Williams' brother Tommy is slamming the former talk show host's team for having his sister film a reality show, knowing full well she's not in the right mental and physical state to be doing so.
via The Sun:
Wendy's younger brother said he and his elderly father filmed with the former daytime talk show host, 58, over the course of several days last week.
He told The U.S. Sun: "This is not a woman who is in the right frame of mind to get a show going."
Tommy, 54, wondered why the film crew was even there.
"Why are you even here? Do you see the condition she's in? Does it look like she's ready to start a podcast for goodness sake? It doesn't."
"And we are all going to bear witness to this.
"This guy Will is ponying Wendy around- 'travel here, travel there, let's go make this money, and I don't care if you're making sense because everybody knows who you are,'" he said, referencing Wendy's manager, Will Selby.
"And the shock value is going to be where she was and where she is now?" Tommy questioned while motioning his hands.
"Is that going to be the show? Is that it? Is that what my dad has to look forward to watching? To shove our face in the f***ing manure?"
Tommy said the crew has a lot of footage for the reality series.
"Whatever they do with it, they're gonna do. It's gonna be sad."
He added that while he was frustrated at the production, he isn't mad at his sister for any of it.
"I can't blame Wendy for anything! I want her to get better! She is not better. So I can't be mad at her for any of this."
Tommy also expressed concern over how this production could impact Wendy in the future.
"So it comes out and what happens if Wendy is doing much, much better, right?
"Who wants these kinds of memories? Who wants this? Why couldn't she just get better, all the way? And then do something.
"All this time people have been kicking her around. She can't be contemplating s*** because she can't think it through, so other people are thinking things through for her.
"And all this time she could have been down here recovering," Tommy said woefully.
Wendy's frustrated brother called her current condition "sad," and added that she's in "poor health."
In a response to a request for comment, Wendy's manager, Will, said: "Tommy didn’t say a word to me about any frustration so that doesn’t sound true."
Tommy claimed that Wendy's manager did not introduce himself or speak to him or their father while they filmed.
Wendy's publicist did not respond to the request for comment.
Tommy had posted a video to his YouTube channel in between filming days about how things were going, but insisted he was trying to stay positive as the days went by.
As The U.S. Sun previously exclusively reported an insider said: "Wendy was in Miami and met up with her dad and her brother while filming her reality show.
"Not only was Wendy's camera crew along for the trip, but the main stakeholders in the project were with her as well," the insider revealed.
It was the first time the former daytime talk show queen has visited her family in Florida in about a year, the source claimed.
Wendy also filmed at her childhood home in Ocean Township, New Jersey, and her team let it slip that her reality show will be released in the fall.
I have a strong feeling this reality show is going to be messy a la Being Bobby Brown, and I have to agree with Tommy that she shouldn't be doing anything if she's not in the head space to be doing a show.
