#RockStarLife: Coffee Break

🚨 #FREEWENDYWILLIAMS Espresso Shot ☕🔥

• Derek Pentz, Zenobia Darling • Season 2 • Episode 23

Recorded on the most gag-worthy day of the year—Valentine’s Day (ugh) 💔—I kick things off with a fiery rant about this capitalist fever dream of a holiday, my Diddy doc binge, and my annual tradition of hating the Super Bowl. Because let’s be real—after Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show and his feud with corny AF Drake, I miss Wendy Williams coming in live from New York, spilling the real tea, and breaking it all down in her iconic, unfiltered style. And speaking of Miss Wendy…

I dive headfirst into TMZ’s latest spectacle, Saving Wendy Williams (dropped 2/12/2025), and honey, I have thoughts. I throw some well-earned shade at Harvey Levin—because let’s be real, TMZ plays the media game with some veryinteresting connections to the White House—but I’ll give credit where it’s due: this doc actually sheds light on Wendy’s devastating situation.

I also break down Kathy Griffin’s legendary war with TMZ post-Trump photo scandal and connect it all to Wendy’s heartbreaking saga. Plus, rewatching Where Is Wendy Williams? after this new doc? Oh, it hits different—like an old-school episode of Intervention—and I spill my theories on what’s really going on with our purple chair queen.

And of course, we can’t talk Wendy without mentioning Britney Spears and the conservatorship mess, because history loves to repeat itself—especially when it comes to powerful women getting trapped in dark-sided guardianships. 😤 But more importantly, I share my hopes for Wendy, because let’s be honest—the world is boring without her in it.

And in between all this chaos? I drop some major life news (yes, it’s big), and I’m taking the next two weeks off from the pod—when I return, it’ll be from my brand new podcast studio. So grab your coffee, throw on something dramatic, and let’s get into it.
