Wendy Williams desperately wants to see her dad on his 94th birthday. She wants to shop for his gift, dress up, and hand it to him herself. Yet, she is being denied these basic acts of individualism. The media icon called into The Breakfast Club, on Thursday morning, and revealed she is being isolated and mistreated under guardianship by Sabrina Morrissey.

“My life is like, f*cked up,” Wendy said emotionally. Wendy and her niece Alex Finne delved into the mystery surrounding the beloved radio and TV host’s reported illnesses and whereabouts. She is in isolation with limited access to a phone. She can call you but you can’t call her. And despite Morrissey’s claims, Wendy says she doesn’t have dementia. While the 60-year-old orator stutters some and repeats a few words, she is very coherent and recalled memories down to the date. She explained how she takes seven pills a day and doesn’t know what they’re for. And she’s still making jokes. At one point she declares, “You don’t know things I know. Diddy done” and the room erupts.

 

Wendy Williams’ Guardian

“We want her to live with dignity,” said Finne, who chimed in throughout the conversation to support her aunt. They refer to the Morrissey as “The Guardian.” When asked if they fear retaliation from Sabrina Morrissey because they’re speaking out, she said, “Yeah.”

“I have to do this. There’s nothing else,” she added. Wendy burst into tears at the thought of them not allowing her to go see her dad. “What if they take my phone?” She went on to list some names in her contacts she could call. “I can call Fat Joe.” She has allegedly not had access to her phone in three years. She claims she has $15 because all of her money is controlled by guardianship.

In a court filing submitted on Nov. 12, Morrissey claimed Williams was “cognitively impaired” and “permanently incapacitated” due to her ongoing struggle with dementia, The New York Post, reported.

Morrissey is currently engulfed in a legal dispute with Lifetime’s parent company, A&E Television Networks, over the release of the documentary Where Is Wendy Williams. During the call, Wendy briefly mentioned the documentary but didn’t want to talk about it too much due to the legal and personal nature of the case.

Wendy And Charlamagne

Wendy Williams and Charlamagne go as far back as her radio days. They they had a falling out over her husband Kevin Hunter in 2008. It took years for them to mend their broken relationship, which makes her reaching out to him at a time of need even more moving. Wendy’s rally cry was heard everywhere The Breakfast Club is broadcast.

Fans of the culture have taken to social media to express delight in hearing Wendy on the radio. I am one of them. I haven’t been this eager to listen to a radio interview, in real-time, in years. One listener wrote, “So when we riding?”

So how do we help Wendy? Wendy’s niece says to tweet using the hashtag #FreeWendy and donate to the GoFundMe to help get her released from the system that affects a reported 28,000 people.
