Wendy was exactly type of person who would have exploited a person who is position she now finds herself in.
The chance at a lot of $$$$$$$$ can set a lot of people on a different path. Some have to answer for this in life, some not.
Exactly. Her tv show made her look tame to appeal to Middle America. Pre show she was disgusting. She discover a celebrity’s wife had cancer and decided to disclose it for views.
You spelled "Oprah" wrong.
She deserves empathy not criticism
@@MDWDshe deserves both
Shocked it was aired. She's clearly sick and needs a ton of help.
How do I doubt that's going to happen all we can do is hopefully that we can keep her comfortable it's called one of those end-of-life diseases
It was aired bec lifetime knew they would have high ratings and profit from it. Plus Wendy already signed a three project deal with Lifetime and this was the third doc with them.
@deed2157 it was aired because it deserved to be shown the same way she showed other people's business in public.
She exposed people , she made millions and now same snakes are doing the same to her. Cycle of food chain in Hollywood .
@@chicfiniyou're a slimeball too
I'm no fan of Wendy Williams, but I wouldn't wish aphasia on anyone. Thanks for another enlightening video, Dr. Grande!
Not even on Hitler?
@@firelordplayz Haven't you heard? Hitler's dead.
HA HA ...Please!!..@@firelordplayz
@@firelordplayz Well, perhaps for him! Thanks! 🥰
@@ethos1236 She said anyone.
I agree with you, Dr. Grande. I don't buy for one minute the producers didn't know there was a problem. But I do think it was in the back of their minds that if the situations were reversed, Wendy would have done the exact same thing.
She definitely would have, but that still doesn’t make it okay
Dementia is NOT reversible
Maybe she knows but wants needs the money
My son died 6 years ago from FTD he was 35 yo. There as no treatment and no cure. Please aid the research. I have a picture of my son’s brain , at age 33. Technician said he had not seen anyone that young with so much brain damage. Frontal lobe was completely dark
I'm sorry. I can't imagine losing a child. 💜
I'm so sorry for your loss! May God comfort you!
Did he play football?
I'm sorry for your loss ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. Did he play sports?
My son was 33 when he was diagnosed with FTD and the only way we could keep him in adult daycare for dementia and Alzheimer’s was to convince him he was “Working “ there. My son had no, zero, nada, nichts , nein any reason to have contracted FTD. One of the roll of the dice, bad luck.
That’s so terrible, I can’t imagine going through that. 💔
Awful luck. That must've been horrible for you. I'm so, so sorry X
I'm so sorry he is afflicted with it. Very sad, I'm glad he has clearly understanding and supportive parents ❤❤❤
@@angiejacobsrs 60 minutes did a show on FTD called “The worst Disease you Never Heard of” it’s very good
Clot shot?
I don’t believe for one second that the people in production didn’t know she had a serious illness. That illness would be dementia, not alcoholism
Alcohol induced dementia... wet brain
Alcohol abuse lead to her dementia, dip-sh*t. She also did coke, which contributed to her dementia. Bruce Willis was an alcoholic as well...starting to see the pattern? The cause & effect?
I've dealt with a lot of TV people and they are amongst the lowest of of life you could meet: of course they knew.
@DeeBullock1836 you'd better either get used to letting it slide or estrange yourself because you can't stop dementia symptoms & eventually you "not tolerating" her symptoms will be abusive. Having a go at people with advancing dementia is like kicking a sick dog for being sick.
@@aussiejubes I’m not abusive in any form or fashion, thankfully I was raised better than that by my Dad who was the only one who could keep her on an even keel, then he died…but I will walk away when she starts yelling and hitting me…that I will not tolerate and I do not have to let it go…everyone’s families are different and you definitely don’t know how my life had been……
My best childhood friend probably had FTD. She never drank alcohol, or did any drugs. She started declining fairly early, in her 30s. She couldn't work, and her family put her in a facility, where she recently died. It's a horrible condition.
Alcohol isnt the only reason people develop dementia and aphasia. Many dementia patients just end up with it..we are still learning about the disease. Dementia is complicated and you cant even diagnose it fully until after death. @borsalinokizaru9862
So sorry you lost your friend.❤
FTD destroys the personality, executive functions, ability to cope. The patient may become obsessed with food, alcohol, sex.
I wasn't aware of this condition. It's devastatingly sad.
"The patient may become obsessed with food, alcohol, sex."
Whelp👀😳
Can this be prevented?
I'll end up believing in Karma.
My friend has advanced FTD. It tends to gradually sneak up on people when they are in their 50s, with personality changes. At that stage, it seems like the person is having mental health problems. They often lose their job and their marriage and friends. They are often irresponsible with money. Then people start to notice poor grammar and reduced vocabulary. They get annoyed with people who speak over their heads. My friend used to avoid people she thought were stupid and made up their own words (but the words were real and common). She would pick arguments with the restaurant staff and neighbors. By the time the diagnosis comes, their life is a mess and most of their people have walked away. If you know someone who is developing strange speech patterns and behaviors, and difficulty understanding language, try to (race) take them to a neurologist.
Very helpful and also thoughtful of you to share.
@@ItsKrma00"erase them to a neurologist..."?
@@verminwatch_out1283feel like they closed by joking that they were suddenly suffering signs
I think they meant *race

Early-onset dementia is harsh 😞. Poor woman

alcohol induced dementia
Wendy Williams has drug and alcohol induced dementia and also she had an eating disorder since she was a child and was promiscuous with men and had such a big hunger for money that she stressed herself out to become hateful while her husband cheated and had a baby.
I saw it. She talked the whole time about desperately wanting to be back on tv and I think she was happy to participate to get public interest in her returning to tv. However, I dont think she understood that she doesnt look or act like herself at this point. Would she be ok with it if she really clearly saw herself? I dont think so. Its reminiscent of Martin Bashir exploiting Diana and Michael Jackson. The producers said if they knew she had dementia they never would have done it. Umm, what exactly did they think was going on?
100% agree
Well, look at the people propping Joe Biden up. It's obvious that he's not all there, but his wife & those around him are happy to exploit him.
Yep, anosognosia is the long name for people with brain damage not having insight into the fact that they're sick. Can happen with bipolar, schizophrenia, dementia or other serious brain diseases. With FTD the person tends to lose all inhibition, becoming more bold & socially inappropriate... at least with the behavioral-variant. I think Wendy has the speech variant but still, you can see how she's changed in terms of saying/doing things that aren't acceptable or that she wouldn't normally do (showing her feet/real hair, cussing people out for no reason, etc). I feel like airing the doc was her family's hail mary attempt to get the public to help them like they did with the #FreeBritney movement. Right now they don't have any access to Wendy & don't even know where she's at! She can call them but they can't call her. It's INSANE.
This. She was obviously losing her mind. I even wondered if it was FTD.
Bashir showed the truth
That was a kind and rational take on Wendy.
💯❤️
I agree.
I never watched her on TV or listened to her radio broadcasts but was aware of who she was and that she had a TV show. This is very sad and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Same. I have never heard of it before. Apparently, it is linked to ALS. Extremely sad for anyone who develops it.
Same
@@iciajay6891what is ALS?
@@crazyfunnyusavideos88Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis or Lou Gehrig's disease (names after the baseball player). Your motorneurons stop functioning so you lose control of movement. One of a handful of neurodegenerative disorders. Horrible disease.
Life is strange sometimes, one day you're on top of your game, the next you're dependant on strangers with round the clock care and not having access to your own money. That's why being humble is important and treating everyone from the bottom to the top with respect when you made it.
You make a valid point that all would be wise to remember.
"No one who is young is ever going to be old." -- John Steinbeck
I agree
She never respected anyone and made it by hurting others. Now it's her turn. Do unto yourself as you do unto others and see how you like it.
Years of cocaine use and other substance abuse has destroyed many careers, families, mental/physical health and vital lives.
Such a waste!
And the time she ate crow
@@briannalee1998 She was cursed?
Graves' disease can cause encephalopathy if antibodies attack tissues in the brain. It attacks the eyes, skin, thyroid, phalanges, nails, and pretibial areas, just for starters, and Wendy shows outward signs of most of that. She has a really bad case of Graves'. Getting sanctimonious over her past drug use may be fun for you, but it is a facile explanation.
She also has early onset dementia because of this @@bnic9471

I haven't watched the Wendy documentary, but I instantly thought of Dr. Phil's Shelley Duvall episode :( . They advertised Shelley's "descent into mental illness" and filmed her in pajamas with her hair all over the place.. for anyone else they have the best of the best hair and makeup crew.. I remember thinking how exploitative that Dr Phil episode was, all the while vieling it under the guise of wanting to help her. :(
That was very sad and exploitative. It outraged many people. I felt terrible about it.
Agree. I've seen Shelley do interviews since that appearance on Dr Phil and she is completely lucid and still has a great sense of humor.
The difference is too though is that Shelley would not likely have mocked someone with similar issues.
@@It-is-me...Melsie Crucial difference.
I so agree with you. Dr Phil was so wrong
My mother suffers from dementia. Dementia patients think that everything is ok. My mother’s behavior became more unpredictable as her dementia progressed.
The sad thing about WW is that she finds herself alone having lost control of her life and finances to a guardian.
Unfortunately, not all with dementia are unaware.
Her guardian is currently being sued by someone else for possible scamming to put them into a guardianship
I'm sorry for her suffering. No one should profit from such pain.
She suffered from others pain.
Rather her than a good person.
Unfortunately, that’s how Wendy made her living.
Wendy profited from other peoples pain. She is getting her serving.
These comments are so toxic. At the end of the day, she's a human being with people who love her and are losing her.
Her behavior was less than flattering even when she wasn't ill.
FACTS, Horrible human being.
💯 Exactly
From the photos, it appears that her hyperthyroidism had progressed, and that alone could have caused some of her mental health issues, or worsening of her neuropsych signs and symptoms.
I wonder if her Graves was being properly treated, or if she ever was properly treated. Perhaps she stopped treatment on her own, but one would think a conservator would have addressed that issue. Sad case. Good explanation Dr. Grande.
She used to give updates and had seemed to be doing okay. Last year, I saw an article showing her walking around with wrapped, myxedematous lower legs and wondered why it was getting worse, now. What could have happened to her in the year 2021 to wake up her autoimmune system so rabidly? Hmmm.
Excuse me--"autoimmune disease" was what I meant to type. I also have Graves', but it is in remission. I'm careful about what I put into my body because I don't want a third round of Graves'. Anything that challenges the immune system can cause a flare. In my case, having a baby, an MMR vaccine, and an influenza vaccine probably triggered mine. There used to be a compound in some traditional vaccines that would cause autoimmune disorders to flare.
Damn eyes poppin out her skulls
Graves' disease isn't always easily diagnosed in cocaine users, as the cocaine symptoms mask/mimic those of Graves' disease. Of course as it progresses, it becomes more obvious.
Yes . My sister has graves and has the same problem with her eyes along with other health problems
I remember the first time I stumbled across the Wendy Williams Show on TV. I just remember thinking “This is horrible TV”. I was actually quite disgusted. I’m sorry she has been diagnosed with Aphasia and hope that she can now just focus on getting good care for herself. Sad for her family.
I thought it was very exploitative… very
You watched it, though. That's all that matters to the people who made it.
@@freedomfries6618good point
She just wants that drank
Just like so-called "Dr" Phil and that woman who co-starred in the Shining.
@@thomasrussell4674what woman?
The bulging eyes is a symptom of Graves disease
I thought her new documentary was going to be a fun reality show, but it was heartbreaking. I could only get through one episode.
Me too
It was suppose to be about her comeback trying to get a deal for a podcast but changed into her conservatorship dilemma. It's claimed at times she didn't even know what we're these cameramen doing in her home.
I think by that time she wasn't in her right mind to consent with what they were showing in the documentary. Her house in disarray and her looking like a mess at times.
She had a three project deal with Lifetime. This is her third documentary with them.
PSA: alcoholism can cause magnesium deficiency, long term that can cause dementia.
Throwing a bad coke habit in surely doesn’t help.
Nobody wants to talk about the fact that people born before 1950 had much lower rates of early onset dementia because they had far fewer problems with drugs and alcohol abuse.
@@ryanjacobson2508bingo
A close friend’s alcoholic mother stopped drinking cold turkey. Due to lack of thiamine, she developed dementia shortly thereafter. My friend took care of her beloved mother day and night. She died 7 years later. I never saw a heart break so hard.
To those who don’t know- please, for your life and the lives of those who love you- don’t touch anything addictive. You can’t become addicted to something you never tried. There no such thing as “just one time”. Except when it comes to your life.
@@yesterdayitrained I Second This Comment From Experince/My Heart ❤
I've never particularly been a fan and I haven't seen the documentary, but frontotemporal dementia explains a lot. Sorry she is going through that.
At least you acknowledged your responsibility and apologized.
I grew up in Asbury a few blocks from Wendy she was 3 years younger than me. Very sad to see her having all these issues...
This is very sad
Billions of people took the same shots she took. People like Bruce Willis, who also came down with the same thing she has.
@@anotherlover6954 Not disagreeing with you but she drank a LOOOT. My grandfather went through the same decline in the 90s from drinking. However I have seen other evidence of what you're talking about in terms of sheer numbers in the elderly. I just don't think that's what's happening here. But it's definitely something nobody can rule out in 99% of the population.

@@defundhollywood3259 long cov I'd has neurological brain fog.
As does the jab victims
This is terribly sad and tragic. She has a son that is in his early 20s. This has to be very hard on him and to see his mother in this condition and her image and this documentary splashed all over for every one to see and mock.
He probably knows to well that if it happened to someone else she'd be mocking them loudly and remorselessly.
@@It-is-me...Melsie poor kid. what a nightmare to be raised by someone like this. Still, it's his mom and this stuff goes deep. Who knows how she treated him. May not have been good at all. Sad all around
Wouldn't he have seen his mother high as a kite? Wouldn't he know that she made her living by being mean and spiteful? We don't all win the mommy lottery. I hope that her son doesn't go out of his way to defend the indefensible. That road leads to accepting and possibly copying her bad behavior. Some of us have to admit that our mothers are deeply flawed human beings.
Probably just as much of a crap-hole as her. If he's reading this, come fight me.
I agree as well that the documentary was exploitive and hard to watch at times. However I found it interesting that NBC Universal has partial ownership of Lifetime. So it looks like NBC denied the show she wanted but played a part in producing the documentary???
She was the one who wanted the documentary, thinking she could get back on TV, yes she is sick, but I bet she is still doing coke and is an addict. Blaming everyone else sounds so stupid, you can't tell an addict/alcoholic anything.
Her desire to be famous tells me that without it, she has no self worth. That leaves one lost and promotes losing the ability to connect with others.
I am glad you are pointing out the exploitative nature of her documentary. I saw the Wendy Williams show in recent years, on TH-cam. It is good to be sensitive to the issues you calmly discuss in the video. I am not sure that all sharing of personal issues is the best choice for all. I hope for Wendy Williams, now that she is moving away from TV hosting, that her family and caregivers will support her and meet her needs respectfully and treat her with dignity. Not everything needs to be shared on TV. Thank you, Dr. Grande.
Really? That same Wendy that exploited everyone? She got what she dished out to others. Lifecis a d/tech.
It reminds me of how Dr. Phil exploited Shelly Duvall’s mental illness on his show.
It was the saddest thing I have seen in a while. Seemed like everyone around her got hooks in her. I could not tell if her family was with her or against her. Dr. Grande is right. She was incoherent until it came to her drinking... smh. Just sad all the way around
"urban adult contemporary music"
I'm still trying to imagine what that would soundlike.
R&B basically.
She looks like she's perpetually surprised to discover she's still awake
Bulging eyes are caused by her Graves Disease.

Awesom
She was always so harsh on others and now she is up for discussions.
Yeah she was horrible before, but with aphasia and FTD, she is slowly losing her memories and herself. She is gone and she is sick and no one deserves to be exploited when they are ill. Not even people like her.
I totally agree with what you said, it’s so sad 😭 she is very unwell.

It's inaccurate claims are its from alcohol. She clearly has Graves disease by her eyes, alcohol, stress, genetics, diet all contributed. Great points always. Thanks Dr G😊💜💜
A gentle and thoughtful expose.
Dr. Grande, for once, was kind and not
snarky, surprisingly.
Excellent, balanced analysis Dr. Grande. When a celebrity's medical issues are publicized such as Michael J. Fox and Bruce Willis, there are mixed reactions from the public. Some people are amused vs empathetic. The disclosures serve as educational, support to those affected, but often exploitive by the streamers. Bob Barker had dementia and few knew. Wendy's wiring was different long before things became much worse for her.
Sad regardless of how feel you about her. These producers definitely cashed in by taking advantage of her poor health which is extremely sleazy.
Good, she presented herself for the taking. Let this be a lesson.
The cactus collection is growing
OCD, perhaps?
Easy to care for.
@@KaarinaKimdalyno…
I couldn't stand to watch Wendy Williams. The few shows I saw, she was petty, mean, and spiteful. All that being said, I wish her the best.
I have other things to do tonight but first I figured I'd specuwate on what could be happening in a situation like this 😏.
Hmmm. Okay. Enjoy your night and have a drink for me.
I thought I was crazy that he was saying "specuwating." Lol

Wendy Williams is DONE speculating about what could be happening in most situations.

Yes, I have the same thing. I think everyone does. It is not just a coincidence. I think I am going crazy sometimes. You have a pretty eyeball.
Thank you Dr. Grande ❤
Hi Dr. Grande, Thank you for this video. I love Wendy Williams and feel so bad for her. I wish she was surrounded by truly loving and caring people. ❣️
I don’t think a person with alcohol dependence craving alcohol Every day is choosing her impairment.
Sure she is. She's choosing it over anything and anybody else. She could choose to stop. I know many ex-alcoholics. They all choose to quit. If it weren't a choice, no one would ever recover from addiction and rehab would be ridiculous.
I disagree some alcoholics do quit forever
It's a spiritual smack from someone she hurt.
People are so cruel. She is still a human being...who deserves care despite her shortcomings and past. There are people who love her and are losing her. And that's sad.
All of these Wendy vids have the wildest thumbnails 😂Poor Wendy
Them eyes 👀.
Wendy likely has drug induced dementia, and like all addicts/alcoholics it's everyone else's fault.
Lookin like a Pug
That’s a symptom of Graves’ disease
She would have taken anyone else and made fun of them.
She exposed puffy, he had her taken off her job
Shame she can't see what justice diddy gets via his victims bringing cases now
Some or a lot of her pics are freaking downright scary.
Uncontrolled thyroid eye disease from Graves disease
LMFAAOOO that Shit POPPIN out her skull

This documentary was heartbreaking. Thank you Dr. Grande for your analysis.
Such a fair empathetic and insightful analysis
Sadly when Wendy’s husband had an outside baby and her mother passed away, she snapped. She drowned herself in alcohol and it’s literally taken her mind. As far as I know dementia isn’t something people recover from and there is no cure, it just gets progressively worse and worse. I feel bad for Wendy. No one could have imagined things would go this way for her.
Shoutout to Dr. Grande, I saw your commentary on the psychology of Jack the Ripper on William Shatners "The Unexplained" on Netflix. I literally yelled out loud "It's Dr Grande!!!". So cool to see you getting your expertise out there!!
Life is too short to be listening to people who are hateful and negative and put down other people all the time! I listen to this woman for less than three minutes, and I switched it off !
Yes, yet people listened to her being hateful for years.
In the documentary? She may have had little filter before but even she did have her limits. Dementia can also make someone lose their filter and cause personality changes. Even her driver said when she started working with her she had a great personality but now she has changed
She was bad, she hurt many too many people. If it was someone else Wendy would have been dragging them mercilessly.
You are quite good at what you do Dr Grande
I'm not usually jump scared during a Dr. Grande video, but this was one of them.
Heartbreaking wrap, Dr G.
It must be exhausting trying to find and reinstall your own eyeballs.
That's one of the unfortunate results of suffering with Graves disease....the pressure behind the eyes increases and the eyeballs do protrude more pronounced - the acronym for it is TED.
Many have spoken but now, Dr Grande is gonna pull it all together for us!!
Her rapid decline is sad and frightening. The fact that she is so young, perhaps people thought her impairment was from alcohol. We think of dementia effecting the elderly, but it is not the case.
as I age, I look more and more to emotional and reduced coping skills, and mental health barriers than expecting logical , informed quality data. age can mean very little; the signs looking back usually show the path forward: I think my dad had non-linear issues ........in age 9...judging from some family stories.
She Was Diagnosed With Graves Disease. That Can Mess Up Moods Confusion And Memory Loss
I had at different times Graves disease and Hosimotos disease. The thyroid affects every system in one's body and can do wacky things with mood and general thought processes.

@vicki: Very true!
Long ago I knew a sweet person with multiple congenital endocrine disorders, one of which was thyroidal. There was a time in which their behavior was quite off, so I contacted a family member of theirs who had medical training. The thyroid medicine dosage was changed and much was improved! We vastly underestimate the power of small glands and tiny amounts of hormones upon physical and psychological health!!
These scumbag media wolves knew exactly what they were doing...the worse she got the better, more salacious

To get views to capitalize on this woman's illness. It's a good time to unsubscribe
🤦🏽♀️
This is just sad. Her son seems like such a nice young man who is trying to help his mother. She has clearly developed dementia, likely related to alcohol and drug abuse. She needs to be surrounded by people to can help her manage her health first and foremost.
The dementia often precedes the drug and alcohol abuse but thanks for your judgemental non-medical opinion
That thumbnail scared me 😮
Brilliant insight Dr Grande. I’m a new fan and subscriber. 💯💯

Why do they keep using that Crazy photo!!
Shock value.

Once again, brilliant, compassionate analysis and concluding with great wisdom! Chasing fame simply for the sake of being famous seems like a losing proposition from the start! More people should heed the warning. Thank you again, Dr Grande!❤
I have been asking for this one for a long time...😊
People want empathy for her, which I understand as dementia is awful. For me, though, she didn't give that empathy to others throughout her career, so it's harder to have that empathy for her now.
But we want to be better then her ,not like her.
@@user-xg6ek1vv6h We can also breathe a sigh of relief it is her who has been afflicted by such a terrible condition and not someone we know who is a good person.
I'd say we show sufficient empathy for her by not celebrating her misfortune.
@@ronald3836 im not celebrating its just harder to have that same empathy
@@BrianaCunningham I know! My point is basically you don't have to feel more sorry for her than for any other person you don't have any special bond with and who has the same condition. You can't carry the world's suffering on your shoulders.
The way she constantly dehumanized people reminded me of how Barbara Walter’s treated Dolly Parton and Perez Hilton and all the sleazy “reporters” in the 90’s/2000’s.
While I never liked her and always thought she was a horrible person, I still feel bad for her with her situation and hope she can get help. I’m sure a lot of her nastiness came from insecurities, but adults should behave better. Even so, I still can’t help but feel bad for her. She was exploited by lifetime and had her financial freedom taken from her, and lost many of her memories because of Aphasia. Not even she deserved that.
@briannalee: Paris or Perez (Hilton)?
Yes
You explain the stories so thoroughly that it is easy to grasp the situation. I like your calm manner in sharing the problem and your final thoughts. No drama or exaggerations. Thank you for a new kind of content, over & above most of what's available.
Poor dear. I wish her peace and healing
I have a soft spot for her!....her ex did her so dirty!....and now this documentary exploding her!...sorry wendy!....you deserved better!❤
Did she? 🤔
Jesus! You could use different photos that are more flattering.
Thank you for taking this case.
A friend's mom in her 80s has dementia, and despite not remembering her husband, kids, and not knowing what's going on in general, she remembers she wants to drink daily. She asks for specific alcohol even. It's sad.
The pic you used in your thumbnail is exploitative.
I feel like the same thing happened on the Osbournes.
This was a sad one Dr. Grande…..😢. But I’m here for it. I love when you upload ❤
As a frequent watcher of her show, over the years i noticed her not up to speed with the subject matter on things like dates, or photos shown on TV. She would ask her Dj person for clarification. Or they would correct her frequently accordingly. Dr. Grande i found your analysis strangely accurate to the Wendy person i have known so many years from TV. Your objective and detached analysis seems insightful. I should also mention Wendy from her biopic movie was also suffering from persistent anxiety which must have been a factor for her abusing drugs for a decade later down the line.
Good Day, Dr Grande. 👌
The only Wendy Williams I care about is Wendy O. Williams!!! Hey, maybe you can do a video about her.
She chain sawed a car in half on the joe Franklin show!
Her wearing shaving cream was epic!
@gazepskotps: Yes! My friend had a poster at his work with the shaving cream. I don’t know if Wendy O. Williams was the first to wear black electrical tape, but it served the purpose. “Necessity is the mother of invention.”
@alexjager4517: I saw that on YT!
She was asked on a talk show about carrying her guitarist about stage on her shoulders, and asked about her favorite exercise; to which she replied,(paraphrasing),“Squats. I do a lot of squats!”
I think about that answer sometimes when I need motivation to squat!!
A bright star, that one; burnt out, not faded away . . .
Dr Grande, thanks for covering this and for the selection of pictures you used, of all stages of her life, with no apologies. You are the best and funniest Dr in TH-cam because you don't hold punches back but do them in a way that is not mean spirited, just to the point.
Exceptionally well covered!
Wendy kept saying she misses her family. She saw her family and it didn't look fulfilling to her. I think she meant she misses her family as in herself, her ex-husband and son
Bingo. When she said that all I thought about was her wearing Kevin's sweater at the beginning. When she got off of work, her family was all she had. She meant it when she said she didn't have friends. She knew she didn't have real friends in her midst.
Always interesting
Thank you❤
Your perspective is appreciated.
Excellent as always!
