New York, New York – Wendy Williams has recently shared with her fans the challenging circumstances she is facing as she seeks release from her guardianship. The former talk show host, 60, revealed details about her experience at a New York facility, which she described as feeling like a “prison” due to restrictions that prevent her from going outside freely. In a revealing interview for the documentary “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy,” now available on Tubi, Williams disclosed that she has only been allowed outside twice in the past month, each time for scheduled appointments.
During a phone conversation with TMZ founder Harvey Levin, Williams expressed frustration over her lack of freedom, emphasizing that she is not permitted to go outside on her own. She shared that in the last 30 days, she was only allowed to leave the facility twice for dental appointments. Williams also mentioned her requests for basic items such as a telephone and an iPad to stay connected with loved ones, indicating a sense of isolation and longing for regular communication.
Despite these challenges, Williams recently experienced a minor victory in her guardianship battle. Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, expressed willingness to consider a new medical evaluation for Williams, given her denial of suffering from dementia. Morrissey also mentioned a potential pause in the lawsuit against A&E over the documentary series “Where Is Wendy Williams?” if an evaluation confirms Williams’ ability to proceed independently.
With hopes for regaining her freedom, Williams vocalized her frustration with the current system, highlighting the need for change in her situation. She emphasized her desire to have autonomy restored and to be able to make decisions for herself. As the legal proceedings continue, Williams remains steadfast in her pursuit of independence and a resolution that aligns with her wishes.
Throughout her ordeal, Williams has maintained her determination and resilience in the face of adversity. Despite feeling isolated and restricted in the facility, she continues to advocate for her rights and freedoms. As the public awaits further developments in Williams’ guardianship case, her story serves as a reminder of the importance of autonomy and self-determination in the face of challenges.
