We need to talk about Wendy Williams.
The talk show host has lost access to all her money and can’t pay her bills, court documents reveal. The news comes just one week after Williams’ filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo.
Radar Online reports that Williams no longer has control over her own assets as part of an ongoing dispute with her former financial advisor, Lori Schiller.
Schiller previously told Wells Fargo that Williams wasn’t of sound mind and shouldn’t have access to her own accounts.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Court documents reveal that Wells Fargo “denied [Wendy] any access, whether online or otherwise, to her financial accounts, assets, and statements based on the advisement” of Ms. Schiller.
“[Wells Fargo] is going beyond the scope of the authority granted by the provision because [Williams] is completely denying Petitioner the ability to access or even view, whether online or otherwise, her financial assets and statements, which [Wells Fargo] has requested for the purpose of ascertaining the current standing of her accounts and which is not a “transaction” as contemplated under the Agreements,” the filings read.
Williams now claims she can’t pay any of her bills. This bizarre turn of events follows her disappearance from public life last year.
Though The Wendy Williams Show remains in production, a series of guest hosts have filled in for Williams’ absence while she has reportedly checked into a Florida health facility amid rumors that she’s suffering from dementia.

Producers say Williams will not return to her role until at least March and have left open the possibility of permanently replacing her.
“She’s not always functioning like she used to be,” a source tells Radar Online. The same source claimed Williams “has days where she needs help eating, getting out of bed and getting dressed.”
Amid the new lawsuit and ongoing rumors surrounding Williams’ health, her fans have taken to Twitter to show their support…
Where is #Wendy!? We demand answers! Why is she being denied her own funds @WellsFargo ?#WendyWilliams

The Wendy Williams situation is interesting. If banks can do that, why dont they do that for people with gambling addictions? Feels like her money is so massive that her advisor cant afford for her to change banks

Wendy Williams really looked at this picture and said Beyoncé (who had a toned ab all those years) was pushing her stomach out to fake her pregnancy.
And this is why she will keep going senile each day. https://t.co/yGe9Gf6jzg

As a banker of over 30 years, there has to be more to this story than what is being presented. The bank would have no authority to withhold access to an account FULLY owned by someone who they have an account agreement – by doing so they would be in violation… that said, IF the advisor has gone to the courts to receive a CONSERVATORSHIP OF THE PERSON or JUDGEMENT AGAINST THE ACCOUNT, then it’s a whole different story and the accounts would not technically be accounts/assets of the party.

Am I the only one who thinks the various banks have gone overboard in their practices? I know for a fact they can’t deny you access to any of your clear funds ( meaning funds deposited that have cleared the paying bank:, deposited funds that haven’t cleared the paying bank don’t count here ) on a whim, like somebody told them you’re not of sound mind etc. The bank can and will do this under a legal court order, like when the IRS has a garnishment order to seize any assets to satisfy a tax bill, or if there’s a legal judgement against you and presented by a legal entity, court etc. but otherwise, they can’t legally deny you access to your money.

If she has a Power of Attorney and a medical condition that specifies the details of the conservatories responsibilities.
Then she can be put on an allowance or have X $ a week with the POA paying the essential bills for mortgage, hydro, cable, cell costs, phone landlines, gas, reoccurring costs … etc. The order notarized or signed and sealed by a lawyer acts on her behalf.
Her bills are being paid or the process can be legally appealed as endangerment to the well being and needs of the person in question.
If she has early dementia the normal first few stages are all about rage, denial and paranoia of persecution or others out to take their life, assets or real estate.
Believe me if you do not have all the information be careful not to judge. The Power of Attorney frequently get accused of abuse, neglect and extortion.
It is a thankless role and for a tiny % of legal compensation. No one would make their ‘ward’ homeless & helpless since they would loss all control of responsibilities.
Wishing Wendy Well.
That’s what we can agree upon. It is about her well being.

Why were gays obsessed with this homophobic woman? She is no friend of the lgbtq community. Some gays are so stupid. Just bc someone looks like a drag queen doesn’t make her an ally
James Hart
When I first saw Wendy, I thought she was a drag queen. Of course she isn’t. That being said, I do hope she recovers from her illnesses and once again gets control of her finances. Sad story.

There is a lot more going on than what is stated here. If they are withholding funs, there’s something major happening. There must be some reason that she is unable to take care of herself. Dementia? I think she has probably had a complete and total nervous breakdown. As for the show, shut it down, or replace her.

“There is a lot more going on than what is stated here…Dementia?”
It literally says dementia in the article.

It’s amazing to me that a woman who has a television show with her name on the title hasn’t been seen on it for a year and yet it’s still in production.

YES THE BANK CAN SHUT DOWN YOUR ACCPUNT THEY FREESE IT FIRST THEN THEY CLOSE IT DOWN AND YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THEM TO GET IT BACK. THEY DID IT TOO ME !!!
Karlis
And this is our business how exactly?
radiooutmike
I agree there has got to be something more to it. Or maybe it IS something nefarious?
I mean, if she is not control of her money and is under some kind of conservatorship/PoA, why aren’t her bills being paid? Wouldn’t that be in the best interest of WW?

Has anyone checked to ensure her massive tiddie implants aren’t leaking? Silicone poisoning is dope, y’all!
