“#Ciera Payton on playing Wendy Williams: Boobs were hardest part<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Ciera Payton admits that one of the \u201cmost challenging things\u201d playing Wendy Williams was getting the boobs right.<\/p>\n

The New Orleans native told The Post that the producers and wardrobe people for Lifetime\u2019s upcoming \u201cWendy Williams: The Movie\u201d had numerous meetings \u201ctrying to figure out how to make it look realistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Payton raised her hand and mentioned that in her biopic audition she employed socks and silicone cutlets \u201cand that worked.\u201d<\/p>\n

So the wardrobe department purchased presumably a massive quantity of socks \u201cand we taped and pushed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot and they were very, very heavy, and quite honestly I don\u2019t know how she does it,\u201d Peyton said, with a laugh. \u201cMyself and what I have on my body is extremely humble.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old actress revealed that she was \u201cvery sore\u201d by the end of each day but was able to get massages to alleviate some of the back pain.<\/p>\n

Peyton said that she began preparing to play the outspoken talk show host before she had even snagged an audition for the revealing film, which premieres at 8 p.m. Saturday.<\/p>\n

Last summer, Peyton said people began tweeting and tagging Williams, 56, telling her that Peyton should play Williams, if a movie was ever made about the media<\/a> personality\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a big believer in once you kind of put things out there and start doing the actions,\u201d Peyton said, \u201cand I thought if this happ<\/a>ens I want to be prepared. So I started brushing up on my Wendy Williams and watching her show and, lo and behold, in January 2020, I had the audition and had the callback and got to meet with the producers and got it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018I just find her to be so resilient and fascinating.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

\u201cThe Oval\u201d star said that there is much to admire about Williams, who in recent years has divorced<\/a> her allegedly philandering husband Kevin<\/a>, been open about her history of drug addiction<\/a> and battled Graves\u2019 disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After playing Williams, Peyton said she has a \u201cnewer and deeper respect and admiration for her journey \u2026 I just find her to be so resilient and fascinating.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to her increasing workload, Peyton also manages her nonprofit organization, the Michael\u2019s Daughter Foundation<\/a>, which provides arts programs for kids impacted by incarceration. It\u2019s a cause that has a very personal connection: Peyton\u2019s father spent time incarcerated due to substance abuse.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father played a big part in raising me growing up. He did raise me and he was one of the most amazing people and so fun, and that was just of the things he struggled with \u2014 substance abuse,\u201d she said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of what prison is supposed to be is rehabilitative,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a system that [definitely] needs to be reformed. Humanizing the people behind bars is key. A lot of the work I do is preventative measures. I want young people to look at how they can break those cycles in their families.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
