Behind the Scenes Betrayal! Amid Uproar Over Shocking Lifetime Doc, Wendy Williams’ Publicist Defends Herself, Asserting, I Was Lied To

To clear the controversy surrounding the explosive Lifetime documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?”, her publicist, Shawn Zanotti has stepped into the limelight. With an adamant “I was lied to,” Zanotti’s defense cuts through the uproar, demanding attention and scrutiny.

Shawn Zanotti is no stranger to the spotlight wielding an impressive resume that shows her PR prowess and a deep understanding of celebrity culture. However, her recent statements regarding the Lifetime Wendy Williams show have thrust her back into the public eye.

To share her side of the story and stress she has been tricked, Zanotti said:

I can’t believe that they can do this to Wendy’s legacy. It’s just horrible. I would have never agreed to this project if I knew the production was putting Wendy’s name on the line. I feel lied to!

Zanotti’s vehement assertion that she was misled about the documentary’s content and intentions has sparked a fierce debate across social media platforms and beyond. To catch a sneak peek of this controversial documentary, check out this Instagram post:

Even though Wendy Williams’ net worth was reported as $20 million, the former broadcaster confesses in the documentary that:
