[PARTNER CONTENT] This month Lifetime, DStv 131, uncovers the real stories behind some big names that we know and love – Wendy Williams, Whitney Houston and Salt ‘N Pepa. We also have a slate of movies based on shocking real-life events and hot new seasons of hit reality shows including; Married at First Sight and Marrying Millions.
Have you heard that 10 April is #WendyWilliamsDay?
Twitter recently exploded with the hashtag #WendyWilliamsDay after Wendy mentioned that 10 April is ‘Wendy Williams Day’ on her US talk show. The video clip went viral – with everyone wondering out loud who had told the TV personality that it was her day.
We’re owning it – 10 April is after all #WendyWilliamsDay with both her biopic and documentary airing on Lifetime that day. Wendy Williams: The Movie (10 April at 19h20) is a brutally honest and intimate look at Wendy’s life including details about her struggle with addiction and her divorce. This is followed directly by the feature length documentary, Wendy Williams: What a Mess! (10 April Saturday 20h50), where she sheds her private persona and speaks directly to the camera about her tumultuous life and career.
