The Wendy Williams biopic has found its leading stars.
Full story below…
As reported, a movie about the talkshow maven is heading to Lifetime.
Now, as it gears up to begin production this month, it’s been announced that the former shock jock will be played by Ciera Payton – whose credits include ‘The Oval’ and ‘She’s Gotta Have It.’
Morocco Omari (who has starred in ‘P-Valley’ and ‘Empire’) will portray Williams’ ex-husband Kevin Hunter.
The film, which has a working title ‘Wendy Williams: The Hot Topic’ is directed by Darren Grant and is executive produced by Williams herself.
It promises an unfiltered look into the life of the star – in front of the lens and behind it.
Set to arrive in 2021, the movie will arrive alongside a feature length documentary on Williams.

She is the WORST actress on the Oval. I can’t believe she’s playing Wendy and she is too small. This is going to be a horrible film
That woman is 10x prettier than wendy.
She looks nothing like wendy
Somebody needs their eyes checked 🤣🤣🤣 who tf think Wendy and Kevin look like that? I’m dead 💀
😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all know this supermodel looking chick can not pull off that capital P looking a** b*tch
Right? They should have cast Trashy BISH with her man-looking self, fish teeth and dragon breath.
😭😭😭 Now I kno-
It definitely won’t be “unfiltered” if she’s the executive producer… 😂
Wendy wish she looks so pretty…but she never will..
Should be interesting
Haters gonna hate but as for me I say Tell your truth Wendy give the talented black actor their due by real roles, black stories and a black woman trying to make it. Wendy you GO Girl!
Squinting super hard I can see a pinch of Wendy…. I’m drunk btw 🥴
Can’t wait
