The movie reveals the highs and lows that Wendy experienced throughout the journey of her success. As summarised on the official website of Lifetime, the movie takes us through her scrappy upstart days in urban radio to the success of her own syndicated talk show. Despite all the naysayers and obstacles Wendy encountered throughout her life, her strength and determination have allowed her to thrive.

The movie will also talk about her relationship with ex-husband Kevin Huntler, whose role will be played by actor Morocco Omari. As you all may already know, Huntler, Wendy's former manager was caught up in an infidelity rumour which was finally revealed to be true when the mistress came out to say that she's pregnant. This led to a very public divorce between the two. As Wendy has always been very abashed about her personal life and how the divorce had impacted her, we can assume that many questions will be answered through the movie.
