“I am here to stay. Wendy Williams is not going anywhere,” Payton as Williams says in the trailer. “I’m gonna come in like a hurricane.”
“You’re self-indulgent, you’re narcissistic, you’ve got a coke habit,” an off-screen character accused Williams’ character.
“Before I had you I had me, and not you, nor anyone else, have the power to take away my gifts,” Williams later yells during an argument with on-screen Kevin.
“I’m gonna bring the heat,” she says as the trailer fades out. “I will turn this city out.”
