Wendy Williams is pictured without her wig having a tearful reunion with Blac Chyna in new documentary - amid devastating dementia diagnosis

Wendy Williams' long-standing friendship with Blac Chyna has been shared in a new excerpt from her upcoming Lifetime documentary - amid the devastating news of her dementia diagnosis. 

In a clip from Where Is Wendy Williams? obtained by People, Wendy was particularly unguarded as she took off her wig to have a chat with Chyna, 35.

The 59-year-old talk show host seemed to be having a tearful heart-to-heart, but the conversation took a disturbing turn when Williams began speaking in seeming non sequiturs, as if she wasn't fully engaged in the conversation.

The latest clip arrives a day after Williams' sister, niece and brother spoke out about her struggles with mental health and alcohol abuse, which are extensively documented in the film.

The family trio revealed that Williams is living in a treatment facility to this day, where they have no access to her unless she chooses to give them a phone call.

Wendy Williams stripped off her wig for a tearful heart-to-heart with her friend Blac Chyna, 36, in a new excerpt from her upcoming Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?

Wendy and Chyna appeared to be sitting on a sofa in the Wendy Williams Show host's apartment.

Chyna confessed that she had been 'recently changing my life' since the two last spoke, and she attributed the positive changes to her mentorship.

'You've always been honest with me and put me in my place in the most motherly, kind way,' the former partner of Rob Kardashian confessed. 'Because even when I was going through my darkest times, you never used that against me.

'And that's how you know that the love is genuine, and it's always gonna be there,' she continued, adding that she would always 'be there' for Wendy.

'You can call my phone whenever. I'm so serious,' Chyna (real name: Angela Renée White) said.

She was also looking forward to spending more time with Wendy in the near future.

'And I think I'm gonna be back and forth from New York, so I'm gonna see you more,' she said optimistically.

But Wendy's concerning response didn't make it clear if she had heard or understood anything Chyna said.

She said she planned to see Wendy more often and told her she could call her phone at any time.

But Wendy launched into a concerning non sequitur. 'Well my real name is Wendy Hunter,' she said, using her married name. 'Yup! And I'm divorced. He's got no money'; seen in February 2023 in NYC

The two concluded with a sweet hug. Chyna was a frequent top of gossip on Wendy's show before she presented her case during a 2020 appearance (pictured)

'Well my real name is Wendy Hunter,' the talk show host confessed, using her married name.

She had been married to her second husband, Kevin Hunter, from 1999 until 2020, when they divorced after he fathered a child with another woman.

Chyna repeated Wendy's last name as if to take in the information.

'Yup! And I'm divorced,' Wendy continued. 'He's got no money.'

Chyna followed along with affirmative statements after each of Wendy's statements, though the smile she previously displayed was wiped from her face. 

Although Wendy's response didn't seem to have much to do with their conversation, she may have intended it to be a form of confession to her friend.

Chyna wiped away any tension by declaring, 'I love you,' as she appeared to tear up.

'So do I,' Wendy whispered as a soft smile spread across her face, before Chyna leaned over on the couch to give her a hug. 

At the time, Wendy was interested in a report from TMZ that Chyna's former stylist had thrown soda cans at her car after a dispute; pictured in 2019 in West Hollywood

The stylist later accused Chyna of pulling a knife on her, which she denied

Wendy continued smiling. She who was decked out in a beige Gucci coat with black fur trim and matching leggings, and she sported her natural hair after removing one of the glamorous wigs she's known for.

Relations between the two women haven't always been as cordial as they were in the documentary clip, which would have been filmed sometime between August of 2022 and April of 2023, when filming of Wendy ended with her entrance into a treatment facility.

Gossip about Chyna was once a common occurrence on Williams' eponymous show, but the two appeared to have a thaw in relations after Chyna appeared on the show in 2020.

'We talk about you a lot on Hot Topics,' Wendy said, which wasn't a surprise to the former OnlyFans model. 'You're very controversial.'

'Thank you,' Chyna sheepishly replied, which got a hearty round of applause and laughter from the studio audience. 

At the time, Wendy was interested in a report from TMZ that Chyna's former stylist had thrown soda cans at her car after a dispute.

The stylist later claimed to police that Chyna had wielded a knife at her, which she denied, though the stylist appeared to be seen in video throwing the cans at the luxury vehicle.

Cameras began following Williams around in August of 2022, when she was plotting a comeback with a new podcast.

She had previously taped what would be her final episode of The Wendy Williams Show, though the series would continue in late 2021 and into 2022 with a rotating series of guest hosts filling in for her.

Where the documentary's camera crew expected to find the host getting back into the swing of things, they instead found her battling an alleged alcohol addiction and other health conditions, including Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder that can lead to hyperthyroidism and bulging eyes, and lymphedema, in which a blocked lymphatic system allows fluid to swell up in the body, particularly in the legs and feet.

One seen in the documentary reportedly shows Williams potentially struggling with memory issues as she asks her driver to chauffeur her past her old TV studio — despite having driven her past it just minutes earlier.

'I don’t know what the hell is going on,' her driver admits for the cameras. 'I think she’s losing memory. She doesn’t know who I am sometimes.'

The crew stopped filming in April 2023 after Williams went into a treatment facility for alleged 'cognitive issues.'

Despite the concerning portrait from the film, Williams is listed as an executive producer on it.
