It’s disgusting and criminal what these “guardians” are doing to Wendy! 😢

Unfortunately, the court had to appoint a guardianship over Wendy because her own family could not be trusted with her finances. There was enough evidence against her family funneling money out of her account like her son and her nephew, Wanda‘s son funneling $120,000.out of Wendy’s account For a birthday party. Her family does not have her best interest. Otherwise they would not have put her on film like this. It was her family pushing her to do this last documentary. Where she looks out of her mind and has her wig off her family is not protecting her.

I totally agree. It’s absolutely wild to me that the courts can just take control of Wendy‘s life and not let her have access to her own money. I can name hundreds of celebrities that were completely out of their mind, high on crack, shooting a heroin spending money like it was water, and the court never took over their account or locked them away. Why is this happening to her? is it because it’s Wells Fargo?

@@HH-gv8mx They froze the account because of unusual spending by Wendy’s son. However, Wendy has now stated that she wants the money for her son so they should unfreeze it and handle it with her family.

How the hell was she forced into a conservatorship to begin with? Was she Baker acted and then they deemed her mentally incapable of handling her own finances and since nobody stepped up from her family, they appointed a guardian? How does this even happen that a bank takes over someone’s life and blocks the family from even knowing where she is? it seems very scary to me that this is a possibility.
I pray someone steps in for Wendy Williams. Some one should be fighting like crazy. No way i would be quiet if i had a platform or if it was my family.🙌🏾🙏🏼❤️I AGREE WITH HIM 💯. SHE NEEDS TO GET AWAY FROM THOSE UNKNOWN PEOPLE. ITS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS. I PRAY FOR A MIRACLE.❤

I always find it weird when people say so casually that they speak or spoke to a person on a conservatorship. Like Paris Hilton said oh me and Britney have lunch together. "Does she talk about the conservatorship?" "Oh no we dont mention that"...how CANT you mention that? Like how can Boof talk to Wendy and not ask her what she wants? What she needs? How can he not advocate w her family to get that? I dont know. To me it is all very bizarre.
Who put her on this guardianship in the first place…that’s the big question?! God bless Wendy and her family. 🙏

The courts had to put her on a guardianship because all kinds of family members were siphoning money out of her account while she was deep in the stages of addiction. She wasn’t bringing any more income in since she had walked off the Wendy Williams show. And her son and God knows who else was funneling money out of her account. Her family couldn’t be trusted so they had to assign a third-party.

These guardians are vultures. They are actively stealing money from Wendy & her health continues to decline. The guardianship and judge that granted the guardianship needs to be under investigation. This is exploitation and seems so very suspect and criminal.
I think the saddest part is this dementia and aphasia are PROGRESSIVE, meaning it's just going to get worse and worse. There is no treatment for it. What a cruel disease. I was really hoping she would get better until I learned of the diagnosis.
Praying for her!! ❤

Did Wells Fargo initially petition the court for guardianship? And if so, do banks do this often to gain access to wealthy clients' money?
When you watch the last season of the show when she says she was a addict the show should have realized it but instead they pushed her on TV

Wanda said since filming, Wendy is doing better, she's living in Miami with her family! Wendy's son has grown- up.... he speaks with much concern, you can feel the Love & respect for his Mom.... Kevin should be the one to oversee & be a part of all major decisions! 💯
While Wendy was in Miami, she was focused, taking her meds, and thriving. Her choice to go back to New York was because her “yes people” were there.
Why is everyone talking about “the guardianship” like thats a different person than Willie the mgr.
I think Wendy is making some decisions on her own it’s obvious Eid she want to be around her family they would be around she just want to live her life with nobody telling her what to do
I LOVE WENDY!! 💜 LOVE BOOT TOO. 💜. WENDY NEEDS HER FAMILY BUT WHEN YOU HAVE AN ADDICTION, YOU WILL WALK AWAY FROM EVERYONE FOR IT, UNTIL YOU CANT ANYMORE, AND IF YOUR LUCKY YOU LIVE AND GET TO DO JUST THAT. I WISH THAT FOR HER. 🥺 SPEEK FROM EXPERIENCE. I MISS THAT PURPLE CHAIR AND THE WOMAN IN IT. BUT MOST OF ALL, I WISH HER HEALTH, LOVE AND FAMILY.
What no one is paying attention to is this whole collapse happened after her mother died. She needed to deal with and grieve the loss of a key parent in her life. She needed time off of work. Away from the tv screen and gossiping to heal.
I'M NOT GOING TO SAY ANYTHING EVERY TIME I SPEAK PEOPLE ALWAYS ACT LIKE I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT SO I'M GOING TO LEAVE IT THERE

Wendy Williams needs to be returned to her family. She seems scared and doesn't seem to know to people taking care of her. She wants to see her family. The people taking care of her are doing more harm than good. How can an outsider decide her destiny and control her money? This situation is making her worse. She needs her family! Somebody needs to stand up for her. I pray that she heals.
