It’s been almost a month since Wendy Williams popped out publicly to celebrate her son’s college graduation amid her conservatorship! Footage from her time with family showed her smiling, chattin’ it up, and shedding tears of joy.
About a week ago, Charlamagne Tha God revealed that he spoke to Wendy over the holidays. During their phone convo, he said she sounded like she “could do radio tomorrow if she wanted to.”
Well, on Thursday (January 16), Williams called into ‘The Breakfast Club’ to talk about her life under conservatorship. Toward the end of the interview, she also commented on Diddy’s criminal charges.
Wendy Williams Describes Her Living Situation
The 37-minute interview with Wendy opened with Wendy’s enthusiastic “Hi everybody,” and then introducing her niece Alex.
Williams then reminded everyone that she’s known Charlamagne for about 20 years and running! That launched him into a passionate speech about Wendy NOT being cognitively impaired or incapacitated in his eyes! Instead, the radio host said Wendy Williams is “trapped” in a conservatorship and being taken advantage of.
“I am not cognitively impaired, no.” Wendy Wiliams said on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ saying her niece Alex “knows a lot.” “But I feel like I’m in prison, you know what I’m saying”
Williams said she’s in New York, but she’s kept in a facility on a floor with people ages 50 and up who genuinely have some impairment and need assistance.
Her daily routine consists of having breakfast, lunch, and dinner in bed. Wendy said her activities are mostly watching TV, listening to the radio, talking on the phone, and looking out the window.
Meanwhile, her niece Alex described her aunt’s living quarters as a “luxury prison.” She said Wendy’s “apartment” is a small room with only a bed, a chair, a TV, and a bathroom with one window.
Wendy clarified that she had to have her conservator buy her a TV of her liking with her money. All of Wendy’s belongings are in storage, which she did to sell her actual apartment.
Williams said the building she’s in requires keys to unlock the elevator to reach the bottom levels.
Nursemaids allegedly work the building and bring pills to the residents. Williams also admitted that she’s been given seven pills without knowing what at least five of them are for.
Wendy Williams Says She’s In A Broken System
Here’s the context you need to know. Days before Thanksgiving 2024, Wendy’s court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, filed a legal document describing Williams as “permanently incapacitated.”
The filing was part of Morrissey’s ongoing lawsuit against A&E Networks over the ‘Where Is Wendy Williams?’ two-part premiere.
In their countersuit, the network accused Sabrina of wanting to pull out after realizing the protection would question her ability to be a guardian. Additionally, the countersuit uses the term “elder abuse,” per Charlamagne.
Wendy Williams clarified that Sabrina wanted to watch the documentary together, and while they were there, they were both writing things down. As far as the “abuse” claims, Wendy said:
“This system is broken, this system that I’m in. This system has falsified a lot,” Williams said, describing her last three years.
Later in the interview, she also said that her initial thoughts about the documentary were that she didn’t want to watch it.
“I don’t care about that, I care about if…I don’t want to talk about that,” Wendy said, and Tha God clarified that she can’t say a lot legally.
Elsewhere in the interview, Wendy Williams also revealed that she’s spent the last three birthdays by herself and described her situation as “emotional abuse.”
She later said she doesn’t have a laptop or an iPad. Wendy also said she doesn’t know her phone model but said it prevents people from calling or returning her calls.
Niece & Breakfast Club Host Describe Experience With Visiting Wendy
Her niece Alex said that Wendy could call her family, but they could not. Additionally, she said Wendy is locked in that room without proper sunlight and care and that there’s a “horrible” extensive security system to receive visitors.
Loren Lorosa from TBC testified that when she visited Wendy, the front desk had to call Sabrina for permission to let her in.
When they couldn’t reach the guardian, Loren said multiple men approached her, questioned who she was visiting, and then denied that anyone named Wendy Williams lived in the building.
Wendy Williams, who was on the phone with Loren, said it’s a similar situation when family visits.
However, Alex clarified that she had no issues when she visited in October. However, she accused Sabrina of not being communicative and dropping the ball when she needed to for travel arrangements, like in Miami.
So, how can Wendy Williams fans help her out? Her niece encouraged people to use the hashtag #FreeWendy and to continue making noise online about the situation. Wendy jumped in, saying she had $15 to her name, and said her money was “in prison.”
Her niece doubled down on claims that her aunt is being “held and punished.” Alex said she’s asking that Wendy be treated “with dignity” and given the “freedoms that she deserves.”
Wendy Breaks Down About Possibly Not Seeing Her Dad For His Birthday
For clarity, Wendy Williams confirmed she wants to be in Miami. She wants to be near her family, who all now live in the city after her parents moved there years ago.
Her father is turning 94 years old next month, and she doesn’t know whether she’ll be allowed to fly to see him.
Williams said she wants to be able to go to Sephora and pick out a fragrance that she can give him. “Tomorrow’s not promised,” she tearfully said. “My life is f**ked up,” she added.
In the same breath, Charlamagne mentioned potential retaliation. Both Wendy and her niece expressed fear of that, which could include losing her phone privileges.
“What if they take my phone? I won’t be able to talk to anybody,” Wendy said in tears.
There’s also the concern that the guardian might move her without notifying her family. During the documentary filming, Alex said the family didn’t know Williams’ whereabouts, and that’s why they were going to the press.
The presumption, according to previous reports, is that Sabrina has had control of Wendy’s bank accounts for the last three years.
Wendy couldn’t confirm that part because of legal limitations, but she did say her guardian has limited her access to her personal phone and contacts, including her celebrity friends.
“This is my goddamn life,” Wendy said. She continued to emphasize that she feels like she’s in “prison.”
“I am definitely isolated. And to talk to these people, who live here, that is not my cup of tea. They’re good people, but I keep the door closed. I watch TV, I listen to radio, and I watch the window and I sit here as my life goes by. You know what I’m saying?”
