A Star is Born

Wendy Williams

When Wendy Williams received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, I was invited along to document it all, no filters. This wasn’t about the glitz of Hollywood or a fan moment—it was about the raw, unedited day of someone who's built an empire, stepping into a major milestone. From hotel rooms filled with her closest team, to the car ride through L.A. traffic, and the candid moments outside the ceremony, I got to see the sides of Wendy that most don’t.

It was an all-access pass, not just to the event but to Wendy’s real world. I caught rare glimpses of her sharing private moments with her son, confiding in her management team, and just taking it all in with her signature edge. It wasn’t about orchestrated shots or posing—it was real, and it was honest. Wendy let me in on moments where she was both in control and completely at ease.

This wasn’t just another photoshoot; it was a unique chance to document someone who’s usually guarded and on her terms. It was about capturing a chapter of her story, with the respect it deserved, while still leaning into the candid, raw vibe that Wendy embodies. It was cool to see, and even cooler to be trusted with telling it like it was.
