WENDY Williams has broken her silence on her new life under a court-appointed guardian in a last-minute call to a radio show.
The former Wendy Williams Show host, who has been living in a medical facility, claimed she feels like she’s “in prison” while venting to former co-host Charlamagne tha God.
“I am not cognitively impaired,” Wendy immediately insisted, calling in from her undisclosed facility early on Thursday, January 16.
“You know what I’m saying? But I feel like I am in prison,” she told the Power 105.1 Breakfast Club crew Thursday.
Wendy, whose 60 years old, said she is in a facility with people decades older.
“I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s.”
“You have to get keys to unlock the door, to press the elevator to go downstairs,” she continued, then claimed she’s been forced to take pills in the facility.
“First of all, second of all, these people here, everybody is like nurses, so to speak, they come in and they give your pills, and then they leave.
“I haven’t been to a pill person in a matter of long time…Excuse me, doctor, can you tell me what this pill is for? Excuse me, doctor, understand what I’m saying. For the last three years, I have been caught up in the system. This has been three years. I’m caught up in this system.”
“For the last three years, I spent my birthday by myself…It was, that’s fine. That’s fine, just because I would rather be my by myself, then open the door and spend my birthday with these people on this floor, like, like, look, this is what is called emotional abuse.”
Wendy said she isn’t sure she will be given permission to visit her father, Thomas Williams Sr for his 94th birthday in Florida next month.
“I don’t know whether I’m allowed to fly to Miami to say happy birthday to my dad.
“That person that you talked about, who’s holding me hostage…” when Charlemagne chimes in shouting Wendy’s guardian’s name “Sabrina Morrissey, we gotta put her name out there.”
Wendy continued “I don’t know if she’s going to let me see my dad for his birthday, he’s going to be 94.”
Wendy started breaking down in tears at that point, “I’m exhausted thinking about, What if I can’t see my dad for his birthday? You know, at 94 you know, the day after that is not promised. It’s not promised.”
The iconic former daytime talk show host then said she wants to simply go to Sephora and pick out a fragrance for her father for his brithday.
“I’ve known like I want to give my dad some sort of fragrance, you know? I want to go to Sephora and pick and choose. My life is like, f*** up,” she continued sobbing.
Wendy’s niece Alex Finnie then explained they are aware there may be retribution from her guardian for doing this interview in the first place.
Wendy started saying “What if they take my phone away, I won’t be able to talk to anybody!”
She also claimed that the guardian has her phone and has had it for 3 years, so she can call people but they can’t call her back.
She also claimed that she doesn’t understand the type of phone she has, that she isn’t able to scroll on it, and doesn’t have a laptop.
Wendy also claimed that her guardian Sabrina, who is in a legal battle with Lifetime over the Where is Wendy Williams? documentary wanted her to do the series as much as Wendy wanted to do it herself.
“We wanted that four part thing on TV together. She was the one who wanted to do that, you understand what I’m saying.
“So I’m watching and writing things out, and she’s watching and writing things out. And I saw her. I saw all of that. By the way, things about being abused, this system is broken.
“This system that I’m in, you know this system has falsified a lot.”
At one point during the interview, The Breakfast Club’s Lauren Larosa tells a wild story about her attempt to visit Wendy the day prior at the New York medical facility.
RADIO HOST TRIED TO VISIT WENDY
Lauren said: “When I got there, the people at the front were very aware that Wendy was there.
“They had me sign in, her name was in the system.
“They had to call Sabrina to even see if I could go up there, even though Wendy was on the phone with me when I arrived, and that she let them know, ‘Hey, this is my guest. I want to see her. I’ll even come down. Please have someone bring me down,’ because, as she said, she can’t get in the elevator nor leave her room without them unlocking things.
“They were aware of that, and everything was fine. I was waiting to call Sabrina a couple times, and she didn’t answer the phone when they called.
“And then all of a sudden, things just like, flipped these like men came out and were like they’re like, ‘Who are you? What are you here for?’
“I told them who I was. I told them I was there to see Wendy and they said, ‘We don’t have anyone here by that name.’
“I did not make it upstairs, I didn’t even feel comfortable still being in the lobby, the way that I was treated like it was insane, especially being as though Wendy was on the phone with me when I walked in, and she spoke to the concierge herself and said, I want to see this person. She’s here for me.
“And then these people are like, ‘She’s not even here. What are you talking about?’
“I’m like, I dealt with your colleagues that had me sign in for her. She’s in your system. So you’re gonna tell me she’s not here. Or did you speak to Sabrina as well? Because they said that was protocol. You have to call Sabrina first, and they said ‘We don’t know Sabrina, and we don’t know Wendy.’ She’s not here. They said that to me multiple times. Very scary.”
WENDY’S CATS
Wendy also said her guardian had just informed her her beloved cats Chit Chat and My Way were sold.
Wendy explained that after her divorce from Kevin Hunter Sr, she moved from New Jersey to her apartment in New York.
“I was solo, just me and my cats. You know what I’m saying. I got these two twin cats who, by the way, my cats, have been sold, and I had no idea, until I talked to that person [her guardian] yesterday.”
