Wendy Williams fans question the date of her new Instagram "proof of life" video

Los Angeles Times

The five-minute video posted in recent days to Williams' new Instagram account raised several questions among her fans after she got her age wrong by one year and referred to her mother as if she's still alive. "The mention of her mother was the first thing fans pointed out as an aberration — Williams announced in 2020 that Shirley Williams had died," says Christine D'Zurilla. "The second clue? Her age. Williams turned 57 on July 18 of last year, but in the video, she repeatedly says she’s a year younger than that."
