‘Wendy Williams Show’ Fans Outraged as Show’s Online Presence Is Erased
Fans were sad enough that The Wendy Williams Show came to an end last month but now they are devastated to see its social media presence vanishing. On Monday, the talk show’s entire YouTube channel disappeared along with its Facebook page, taking 13 years’ worth of clips with it. Fans on social media are shocked and horrified by this development.
Wendy Williams herself has been off the air for over two years now as she deals with medical issues and works on her personal health. Fans knew for most of Season 13 that it would be the last season of the show, and that one of the guest hosts would take over the time slot for themselves in the fall of 2022. Still, fans are furious that the producers were so quick to take the show’s internet presence down. They wondered if clips from other canceled talk shows would be scrubbed from the internet so quickly.
The Wendy Williams Show website has been disabled as well, leaving no easily-accessible record of Williams’ time on TV. Some fans have gone so far as to call on the Library of Congress to preserve Williams’ old episodes. Here’s a look at what they’re saying on social media.

Many fans were caught off guard by this disappearance more than anything else. They couldn’t imagine any costs associated with the YouTube channel – if anything, fans imagined that it had taken more work to delete these videos than to leave them.

Many fans believe that Williams’ show was treated differently than other canceled talk shows because of her race.

Conservatorship
This is ERASURE of legacy and it’s part of the tactic used to silence and subjugate Wendy in a guardianship. This is colonizer behavior and it is repulsive. Whoever’s involved… you are disgusting. 🚮 @FOXTV @CBS #FreeWendy #InvestigateLoriSchiller #InvestigateBernieYoung https://t.co/ovxhfz0X3j

Some fans speculated about Williams’ living situation following her addiction treatment. Many believed that big decisions about her career were being handled by a court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship, much like the situation Britney Spears was in up until recently. Back in February, Variety reported about this possibility but it is not clear if the court ever followed through.

Reasoning
It could be her request.
A lot of her YouTube videos are monetized (have ads) and the show would earn that ad revenue, not Wendy.
She could have requested to keep her IP and ordered them to take it down.— ThisIsRochelle (@RR416) July 5, 2022
It might be archived or cleared out for the new Sherri Shepherd Show to use in the fall but this is a travesty and a slap in the face to such a pioneer of daytime tv. They truly left us with NOTHING.

Some viewers did speculate about the deletion and come up with reasonable guesses, but none have been confirmed so far. Due to the complexity of intellectual property rights laws, there’s no telling for certain who benefits from this decision and who does not.

Fans called on the highest authorities in cultural preservation to intervene on Williams’ behalf. Some made hyperbolic comparisons between Williams’ show and other lost troves of knowledge.
