the cultural impact of Williams’ talk show career, show the star in a number of vulnerable moments.</p><p>Throughout the documentary, many of Williams’ family members claimed they’d been cut off from contacting Williams, who the family said was surrounded only by people on her payroll. In the second episode, Williams’ manager, Will Selby, finds an empty vodka bottle by the star’s bed and confronts Williams about alleged heavy drinking.</p><p>In the documentary, Williams is often agitated, weepy and confused.</p><p>The complaint asks that the defendants pay Williams unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and asks the court to order the defendants to permanently stop airing the show.</p><p>Morrissey said in her filing that while Lifetime has “profited immensely” from the production, Williams herself was paid “a paltry $82,000.”</p> <div class="c-tabs"> <div
