However, the film is not limited to only those topics, as insiders say that Williams is open to including a look inside her marriage with estranged husband Kevin Hunter, her relationship with Mo'Nique, and her personal experiences in Hollywood regarding racism and sexism.
Williams herself, along with Will Packer, are set to produce the biopic. As for who will write it, Williams will again take a leading role as she partners with Leigh Davenport on the screenplay.
Per TMZ, there will be at least two different actresses portraying "The Wendy Williams Show" host at various points in her life and career, and, according to Williams, she wants them to be "relatively unknown" so that their presence does not take away from the story being told. It is also reported that the New Jersey native will not be playing herself in any capacity in the upcoming title.
