If Bruce Willis can be with his family so should Wendy! She earned her money she should be able to spend it her way. Or set up a trust! It’s really not that complicated… please bring justice to Wendy and her family! 👏👏👏👏👏
But the problem is allegedly "the family"
Allegedly @@Louie.Oxford
The trust is the best idea yet! But you still need someone to be head of that trust, etc, so the prob is close to the same?😊
What Wendy is going through, is EXACTLY what Mariah Carey went through in 2001, except it was by her management, mother Patricia and brother Morgan. It’s a struggling woman with a big bank account, and people want it.
And i don’t think she has dementia, I think she was struggling with alcohol/pills during that time she was diagnosed.
mariah had dementia?
Wrong. There are thousands of rich wealthy women who did not find this fate. Wendy likely has “root work” on her, the symptoms truly match…and Mariah was barreling her own mental health. This doesn’t happen to most rich women. But mental illness is real Stop reaching.
@@emilyvillagran361 No, Mariah Carey had a nervous breakdown and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.. I truly believe Wendy Willams also had a nervous breakdown/ her mother passed away and her ex-husband had a baby with his mistress was to much for Wendy and yes she fell back to her drinking ways and probably started using drugs.
I wonder if it's possible that someone could be secretly drugging her.
Everybody goes through hard times. It's not a reason to put someone in a room, with no computer or access to their freedom. If she needs further help, her family should be the ones, not strangers!
SHE SHOULD NOT BE STUCK IN A ROOM WITH ONE WINDOW. She is rich enough to move into a luxury home and have round the clock care if needed. If she has whatever they said she have, she still should not be locked up.
Wells Fargo locked her account.
That part!!! I don’t get why she can’t live in a luxury resort or in her family’s home with many nurses or caregivers…something is not right for sure!
The conservatorship did its job; it stabilized her. Now let her go. There are no logical reasons to continue to keep her under this guardianship. People's family members are diagnosed with dementia every day and they are well taken care of by family. Let her go to be with her family.
you think her dementia is just fixed now and shes okay?
👏👏👏👏😿
@@emilyvillagran361he said her family can take care of her.
@@writegirlrun i don’t see why her family wasn’t already taking care of her
I took care of my grandfather with dementia and a broken hip and no one came to take him away…. Free Wendy! She should be with her family period, no matter if they are perfect or not. That’s her family and she has enough money to have in home care to help the family care for her…❤
This truly tells us how we treat and warehouse persons with physical and mental complications. This is a story that is bigger than Wendy Williams.
Agreed
if she didn't have money, nobody would care. And that's the sad truth.
exactly why it's so important people pay attention to this story... companies, banks, caretakers, lawyers are all involved in continuously exploiting old people who have their life's savings taken away by this system of exploiting those who are so often forgotten about by their families... it's about money not fame. it's a systematic abuse. watch Better Call Saul, it's perfectly illustrated through their show.
I don't like this lawyer making statements to the public about her health. It is time for this guardianship to be re-evaluated.
HOLD ON WENDY WE COMING ... WE KNOW HOW YOU DOING AND WE DONT LIKE IT MAMA
That Part‼️‼️‼️‼️
First Britney now wendy
Don't forget Mariah
@@brettkimuraMariah?
Mariah used to be trapped by Tommy. No freedom even after she was physically away from him he still pulled every string around her. ua-cam.com/video/U7zuWRqTPFA/v-deo.htmlsi=s1lcr5SVIfT940Nm
@@brettkimura oh please Mariah? Mariah had a mental break down and became a drug addict alcoholic because Jennifer Lopez became the biggest star in the world
Sadly Britney still needs hers it seems.
last year, i watched my cousin go from feeling completely stuck in life to absolutely thriving. they’d been talking about a book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane and how it wasn’t about “just think happy thoughts,” but more about getting real with yourself and your goals. at first, i didn’t pay much attention, but then they started landing dream opportunities, meeting new people, and just carrying themselves differently. it’s not some miracle story-they worked for it-but they said the book helped them focus in a way that made everything feel possible.
Some people are cursed like me and there is no hope
Why isn't the family filing an emergency petition on her behalf to have a judge overturn this bizarre hostage situation?!? Let Wendy GO!!!
They are they said this on the breakfast club
The judge who assigned the guardianship received money from the current guardian they are works together
They tried but it was overturned. She tried to have her son take over and the Judge over turned the decision.
Let her go NOW !!!!
She shouldn't be locked in a facility she should have a personal live in caretaker or sitter if and when needed.
Just because she has problems doesn’t need locking up…a little louder for the people in the back
She was put into a center during her break near the end of her show. Then she was hidden from the spotlight and her assets seized. Her niece is using her and her family is manipulated into thinking she is more ill than she is. She either had a treatment or was drugged to appear infirmed. I know many people with dementia and they are not under guardianship. How is it that someone with the talent of gossip and life experience get out of control of her own life. Bigger things at play. Money always is the corrupter.
How is her niece using her . From what I have seen her niece is advocating for her and so is her family. She was giving her son money is why they said she was being taken advantage of . But if I was as rich as her my son wouldn't want for nothing either.
Praying for Wendy 🙏🏼❤
Why famous rich women like Mariah, Britney, and Wendy have to go through this kind of guardianship? If they care that much about her they could get at home care. There is no need for her to be prisoned.
I am going to continue to advocate for Wendy Williams. Not because she is a celebrity. but because when I hear people talk about her situation. and her health issues. I am all to familiar with what people don’t understand. Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with frontal lobe dementia. Wendy allegedly is supposed to be incarcerated. I’m not a doctor, but in my 30 years of experience as a caregiver working in a memory care unit . taking care of residents with dementia,and for the last 10 years taking care of a family member, who has been diagnosed with the same type of dementia as Miss: Williams. I disagree with her diagnosis as having dementia. as well as we have all been informed that she in incarcerated. How?? people with and there is 2 types of dementia. short term and long term. In W.W. Case. for her to remember times/ dates/years/ birthdays/anniversary, in other words. People/places \ and things ,sometimes they don’t even know there family members. with that being said. Wendy Williams suffers, with grave disease) known as highper thyroid disease. Without the proper treatment and medication and evaluation to check her thyroid. if they are to high of a level, which I’m sure when we seen her in public. Yea one would think her mind was gone. but because Wendy was not taking her medication 💊 properly nor eating healthy, and apparently was seeing any doctors . because she had started abusing Alcohol. Thyroid attacks the immune systems. It affects the brain. You will experience loss of memory, loss of appetite. loss of weight. You will experience depression anxiety- fatigue and this disease, without proper treatment can be fatal. and the lack of understanding. Will look like dementia. dementia cannot be reversed. this has been happening for 3 years, if in fact W.W, she has dementia there is no way she could have been precise and clear in those phone calls. even if someone was telling her what to say. as the grave disease goes. (Thyroid ) this what I personally experienced) until my Doctor explained why? and what was happening to me. W.W. mind is clear not because she doesn’t seem to have access to any Alcohol 🍺 and, her thyroid levels are back on track. regardless of what. she does not need to be in a memory facility, she definitely does not to isolated , at the time, she probably needed to be ordered to stay in a drug and alcohol facility, until she got the necessary treatment and care she needed. this right here. was done to her for all the wrong reasons 💰 💰, in my opinion I believe this happened when she was vulnerable , considering all the humiliation she endured, Divorce ex- husband becoming a baby daddy with the side chick, your Mother passed away. trying to hold on to your number one talk show, all the while to be strong in the public 👀 nah Wendy had a Nervous breakdown, we all saw how that played out then you have to give money every month to a clown to help take care of his new family, and we ain’t talking about a little check either. yea Wendy checked out for a minute. but she does not have dementia. and she does not need a conservative over her life she needs her own family. I think it’s very important for people to do their on research concerning. dementia/and incapacitated.neither can be altered. Wendy is very clear about what is happening around her and to her. I do think she will always need an assistant, maybe for the rest of her life. and no I don’t think she is 💯 percent herself. but she definitely not dementia or incapacitated as the conservative are Lawyers are whoever told that lie to the media. If Wendy stays in that situation of isolation, cut off from her family and her child. she will eventually decline smh.
You are absolutely right, metabolic disturbance can mimic neurologic impairment and patients are misdiagnosed all the time. Well said!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Free Wendy!
The public is wanting another eval. A new team for review and have some say so!
SHE'S NEEDS HER FREEDOM BACKKK 💯
Wendy knows a lot about everybody's junk and they trying to shut her up so she won't talk, if u know what I mean
Stop spreading false information.
Making up conspiracies.
Stranger things happen. 😮
@@stephaniejames4940it’s the truth!! She called out Diddy years before he was investigated. She knows a lot about these people, more than we do!
Sounds like abusive legal system under guise of protection. There was a documentary years ago on how elderly are targeted and their funds and assets misused by legally appointed professional conservators, and once in that sysyem, very difficult to get it reversed.
We love you Wendy❤
I have a degree in speech pathology. Aphasia is a language disorder. She does not have a language disorder. Her language is clear and easy to understand.
That's something very telling and her "dementia diagnosis" three years ago and she remains the same.
Why does she keep repeating certain phrases? That's not normal
@ It’s not a sign of aphasia
What about her keep saying “you know what I mean?” In this updated radio interview.
@@jbar_85it’s a common saying especially in African American communities
1 I'd like to know how she ended up in this luxury prison and 2 maybe the cops should raid it and get her out
I love my Wendy Williams. I miss her on TV .
Especially with the hot topics now....I truly wish her well and may she comeback even just once a week as she suggested. May she grace us with her opinions once more....
@cindyverna2700 yes!
Let's do for her what we did for Britney.
Wendy did a sit down with Dr. Drew (off camera) and talked about her substance abuse. He said she was never “addicted” to cocaine because she was able to stop. She quoted him as saying “I was a bored party girl with too much money.” Alcoholism is/was clearly another issue.
Lord do it for Wendy.
That Part do it Lord do it‼️‼️‼️🙏🏽
Jeez. Her guardians made it seem like she was incapacitated.
She's def not back to normal but her family can take care of her now. Let them.
This situation just got way, way worse. Not only is she dealing with one of the most harrowing afflictions imaginable right now, not only has her career essentially stopped because of it, but she's being contained and controlled against her will. Her interview and A&E's brief statement speak VOLUMES. I pray she is freed. And I hope this sparks a wider discussion on the validity of and how morally justified it is to take away someone's freedom because of mental or physical illnesses.
She also was being drugged by her team while they pretended to fight amongst each other
UH OH ITS ON ABC ITS OVER FOR THE CONSERVATORS AND WELLS FARGO NOW BABY
Free Wendy and Wells Fargo needs to give her money back.
Her husband already ruined her. No need to kick her while she's down.
That JERK
Remember what Kaye said?????? They wanted him to think he was crazy
The crazy part about all of this is that those of us that work in social work and in the mental health field struggle to get people that actually NEED to be conserved, conserved so finding out that this happened relatively quickly is very disappointing
LOVE AND MISSES WENDY WILLIAMS ❤️
My parents forced me to sign over Power of Attorney to them when I was 18. I understand exactly what Wendy Williams and Britney Spears are going through. It can drive you mad if you allow it to. Everyone always says, "We know what's best for you," or "We want to protect you," but they never actually ask you how you feel or what you want. Nobody ever really thinks about you in all of this.
I dont trust her neice either...
Same. She filmed Wendy in a very vulnerable moments.
How’ You doin? 👄
It seems like something weird could be going on here. They did say she has FTD, which I believe is diagnosed with an MRI scan. But I still wonder if it could be possible that someone was, and/or is, secretly drugging her, in order to gaslight her and everyone around here into thinking she has dementia. You'd think the doctors would catch something like that in her blood work. But then again, it has happened before. There was a woman in France recently, who just found out that her husband had been drugging her and having his friends R word her for like 40 years. All that time, she was trying desperately, in vain to get doctors to figure out what was wrong with her. She thought she had some kind of mysterious medical condition that was causing her to pass out all the time. You'd think they would've caught that on blood test, but apparently not. I think there are things that Bill Cosby wana bees can use, that don't show up on test. Wendy Williams would be an especially easy person to do something like this to, because of her previous issues with abusing drugs. Everyone would just assume she was using again, if not had a medical condition.
She's the New Brittany. Why is she locked up? It's WEIRD!!!
I was hopeful that a person, of the caliber of Britney Spears, would create an organization to educate people on conservatorships and the abuse of the system. I understand she can’t do it due to the trauma, but where are all the Free Britney people? I guess the movement was about her specifically and doesn’t transfer over to other women under this abuse. Truth is, it’s not their responsibility either. It’s up to Wendy’s fan base and maybe one day this type of system will be on the receiving end of lawsuits for those who abuse it. Notice that not a lot of famous men, *cough* Kanye *cough*, end up in conservatorships. But Wendy, Britney and Amanda Bynes all ended up there. Historically women have been on the receiving end of false accusations of being crazy; they were thrown into psych wards by their husbands, etc. Anyways, Wendy has a diagnosis and it doesn’t sound promising… but she should be able to live comfortably. On the breakfast club she said she felt like she was in prison. Something is fishy here too.
FREE Wendy
i miss her so much!
This all because of Wells Fargo and her accountants that was fired for stealing money. A doctor she fired is making the claims 🙄
Please make this make sense🙄 she can’t see her family either smh 🤦🏽♀️
She called Diddy out, she called Jayz and Beyoncé out and right now they have her where they want her🤦🏽♀️
They took her phone again. She said to CTG on The Breakfast Club that if two days go by and you don't here from her that it means her phone is gone.
And she could only call because they've done something to her phone where she can't receive calls.
I used to be a BIG fan and follower and supporter of Wendy. Not anymore. This woman is a train wreck. First her struggles, her addictions, then her marriage, her health, her finances. It never ends. She's the type of person who can let anyone live their life because it doesn't include HER. This whole thing of mental incapacity and then being held in a luxury prison with fears of "them" taking her phone away. Please. If it isn't another publicity stunt there's more to the story then she lets us believe. She should come clean or just shut up. Enough is enough.
She has a serious disease and her son is taking care of her people need to mind their business and allow her son to do the best you can to give her the best life he can. I mean it’s not fair to Kevin Junior. She should be taking care of him or helping him figure out what he’s gonna do with his life.
She needs help❤
I will NEVER keep my money with Wells Fargo. That bank is trash
We seem to forget how Hollywood gossip and simple "entertainment" has ruined so many people's reputation. It's deeply unfortunate whats happening to Wendy. Let this be a lesson to us all, we reap what we sew. It's never too late to repent.
IF the guardian says the courts supervise than investigate the Judge, Doctors, Facilities and the Guardian.. They should all be BRADY LISTED
That's why the Golden Rule..Wendy.. is treat folks how you want to be treated 🤔 🥴
Get wendy to Miami ❤
FREE WENDY WILLIAMS ❤❤❤❤
Seems like someone wants her quiet... 😢
im not a doctor - nor part of her "inner circle" ... but on a recent video - i saw a shell of a human ... sad
They say dementia comes in waves... okay even is she has dementia.... its her family right to take care of her not some random people. This sounds sketchy and imprisonment.
Disagree that she sounds like the old Wendy. Listen to the Don Lemon interview again, and you'll hear her repeatedly saying "you know what I'm saying" ... sometimes only 2 words apart. 😢 It clearly demonstrated cognitive decline. She could barely form one thought in like a 20 min interview. I don't think those interviews did her any favors.
I do think the court should appoint a trusted family member to be her guardian and not a stranger (from Wells Fargo why?! like she has any mental health training). 😏 Ms. Morrissey may get some oversight by the court, but she's not a guardian for free. She's profiting off Wendy 100%.
Despite this sometimes being portrayed as an anomalous disease, the role of drugs and alcohol can't be understated. Though she may portray herself as being in a luxury prison, that doesn't mean she can't still drink. Often times people in charge of these conservatorships have no special training and impose what they think is right for the victim of these diseases. How many times have we heard stories like Casey Kasem's where all this goes on surreptitiously. I wish everyone would have to spend time in a memory unit. To watch a loved one ebb and flow on a slow decline where oftern times their body is fine but their mind is checked out is horrifying in my opinion. You'll see a normal cross section of society with their care workers. Some seem heroic and others barely tolerable of the patients. You may even ask yourself, "Would they be better off dead?" and then feel the shame that the thought ever entered your mind. So many of these people are without resources and warehoused away from society that we may never know their suffering. With boomers getting older we are headed for a national crisis of elders unable to care for themselves and not enough resources or people with a desire to get jobs caring for them.
Share what she has, how she was diagnosed, what any person can expect, why her "care team" was assigned and how does it protect her health. Otherwise, any comment is good for nothing
FREEEE WENDY WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!
👑 WENDY WILLIAMS ❤
FREE WENDY
She saved my life 😢
SHE'S NOT DEMENTIA
WENDY WE ARE HERE FOR YOU!!!!❤❤❤❤❤ FREE WENDY
What sort of 'journalists' don't bother to ask who the actual conservator is...
My partner and I love Wendy…we miss her show so much and hope this traumatic situation will turn around ❤
Wendy's dementia diagnosis is something that must be reevaluated after the guardianship is over.
Why can't her brother and son or her family take care of her instead of some court appointed person that they don't know
WE LOVE YOU WENDY ❤❤
It's disgusting how this conservator is treating her. How is this allowed to happen. It should surely be down to her next of kin.
Wendy is an icon. We want to see her better.
Damn Wendy dementia is one of the hardest ways to go out 🥲
Free Wendy !❤
🙏🏿❤️ for Wendy.
I am 62. I watched the show for Wendy and that is it.
Free Wendy! I love her so much! We do ride hard for Miss Wendy Williams! We dip, we do, for Wendy! ❤ She’s an icon, a legend, she is the moment!
free wendy
Will someone please do an interview with Wendy after sundown ro prove that she 100 percent does not have dementia. This should be able to clear up this allegation that are being made, especially since they are implying that there are times when she shows the signs of her diagnosis--it would avoid them later being able to say she is a "sundowner" (spmeone who only shows signs of dementia after sundown). It crazy that they are treating her like she has dementia, when she seems alert ab oriented.
KARMA remenber how much she talked and talked about Britney Spears and now she is in the same shoes KARMA!!!!
I just have 1 thought, why did no one in her family take guardianship. And it leads me to 1 conclusion. That’s all imma say.
Free Wendy🎉🎉🎉
One of the most satisfying cases of karma coming back around that I’ve seen ❤
I've always wondered why Wendy never assigned her son as executor.
Funny how she crapped on Britney Spears for the same thing and now her tune changes when she's in the same exact boat.
Wendy being secluded has an effect on her mental and physical health. Not being able to have "normal" conversations with people of her choice will also have an affect.
Free Wendy Williams ❤❤❤
FREE WENDY 💜
Where is the poor woman’s doctor when will that person speak up???
Even if it’s dementia why she can’t have her son over her financially I’m sure she’d rather have her sons getting a paycheck than that lady
Messed up situation even if not a fan
Somewhere I read that Wells Fargo started all this nonsense. Look it up. Who are these people called her "Care Team' Her family should be there with her and there should not be any outsiders managing her funds period. Hard to know who to trust.
She spent her entire career criticizing people she never met.
Yep just like people do online everyday and those people have said worse.
