INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY AND THE DIVA OF DISH PREMIERE "DEATH BY GOSSIP WITH WENDY WILLIAMS"

--Williams Serves as Host and Executive Producer for DEATH BY GOSSIP, Premiering This October--

(Beverly Hills, Ca.) - Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words can kill in Investigation Discovery's (ID) all-new series, DEATH BY GOSSIP WITH WENDY WILLIAMS. Featuring original 'gossip girl' Wendy Williams as host and executive producer, the series uncovers crimes fueled by rumors and sordid half-truths that lead to betrayal and even murder. Premiering Friday, October 9 at 10/9c, DEATH BY GOSSIP WITH WENDY WILLIAMS kicks off with six stories of harmless whispers turned deadly acts, showing that dishing the dirt can be a dangerous offense. "There's nobody better than the daring diva of daytime, Wendy Williams to offer this cautionary tale to those who indulge in chatter and innuendo," said Henry Schleiff, Group President, Discovery Networks. "Jealousy, drama and betrayal - no one tells those tales like ID, and now with Wendy on board, our arsenal of homegrown experts has grown that much more entertaining." "Everyone loves a little dish now and then, but in these cases, guilty pleasure can become motive for murder," says Wendy Williams, host and executive producer of the series." I'm an ID Addict and I dare anyone not to be intrigued by the real-life stories we tell every week."Beware of offices, gyms, playgrounds, and nosey neighborhoods, as they all make for great rumor mills, but when dishing the dirt results in a body six feet under, not minding one's own beeswax can quickly become a deadly offense. From a respected English teacher's very own Shakespearean tragedy entangled by sex, greed and betrayal, to a college kid wrapped up in a twisted love triangle with a dash of black magic, DEATH BY GOSSIP WITH WENDY WILLIAMS warns viewers of the tempting grapevine, because it can quickly strangle the most unsuspecting of prattlers.
