Wendy Williams Gave A Rare Interview Where She Claimed She's Being Held "Hostage" In Her Guardianship

Wendy Williams alleged "emotional abuse" in her ongoing guardianship in a new interview.

Wendy has been under guardianship since 2022, the same year that The Wendy Williams Show ended. Her bank, Wells Fargo, alleged that the 60-year-old was an “incapacitate person” who had experienced “undue influence and financial exploitation." Last year, her team said that Wendy had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia — and that she is "cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated."

This morning, Wendy called into the radio show The Breakfast Club. "I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison," she said.

“I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s," she continued, noting that she's limited in what she can say legally. "There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.”

"What do I think about being abused? Look, this system is broken, this system that I’m in. This system has falsified a lot," the former talk show host said, alleging that she is given pills while having "no idea" what they're for.

Wendy further referred to her guardian as "that person that you talk about who is holding me hostage." Her niece Alex, who appeared on the show, further said her loved ones cannot contact her and that she doesn't have access to the internet. They emphasized that Wendy wants to be with her family in Miami.

“I am exhausted thinking about, what if I can’t see my dad for his birthday? At 94, the day after that is not promised,” Wendy continued, beginning to cry. “My life is, like, fucked up.”
