Her niece Alex Finnie spoke about her aunt on The View and revealed that her family hasn't been in touch with Wendy since a very long time.
“There were conversations early on in the beginning in terms of with the family and trying to, I guess, gather information to get a hold and a perspective on where she’s at and what they need to know,” she said.
Alex added: “And my mom actually says it in the [Lifetime] documentary, she says it, and all of a sudden there was just this wall that went down and the family was blocked out. It was April of 2022 and the contact from that point on has been so limited.”
