WENDY Williams’ friend claimed the star’s conservatorship is worse than the conservatorship Britney Spears was in, as “a stranger has control” of the former TV presenter’s life.

Regina notes that Wendy’s guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, was court-appointed and was a stranger to the star before she took control of her life in 2022.
“This is a Britney Spears thing, only it’s worse because it’s not even Wendy’s family that has control,” said her friend.
“At least with Britney Spears it was her father, it was her family, this is a woman who doesn’t even have a family.
“And how does this guardian achieve all this?
“Wendy was looking for property, she was talking to a financial specialist at Bank of America to try to get control of her finances.
“I don’t know how she got to be at least 90% Wendy and now she’s incapacitated and will never be able to see anyone again.”
“What’s the end of all this?” the friend questioned.
“She should be surrounded by friends and family right now, not isolated and alone,” said Wendy’s frustrated friend.
Regina previously opened up to The US Sun about how she stayed with Wendy for most of 2022.
The star’s friend said that at one point she, along with Wendy’s sister Wanda Finnie and guardian, were all working together to help with Wendy’s needs.
“Initially, when I was with Wendy in the summer, we were triangulating, we were talking to Sabrina, but then she kind of disappeared,” she said.
Regina said that was when the problems began with getting Wendy’s food delivered on time.
“She ordered food around 7:30 in the morning and breakfast didn’t arrive until 11:30 and by that time she was ready for lunch,” she said.
After the Where’s Wendy Williams? Lifetime documentary, Regina appeared in NewsNation to talk about what she saw while living with Wendy in 2022.
Wendy Williams’ Diagnosis of Alcohol-Related Brain Damage, Aphasia, and Frontotemporal Dementia
By The US Sun senior reporter Jessica Finn, who has reported on Wendy Williams for the past seven years.
As reported exclusively by The US Sun, Wendy Williams was diagnosed with alcohol-related brain damage in 2019 while in rehab in Florida.
A source explained that a brain scan was done as part of Wendy’s rehab in Delray Beach.
A neurologist spoke with the star, her son and her then-husband, Kevin Hunter Sr.
“The doctor explained to them that Wendy was suffering from alcohol-related brain damage.
“They told her that her alcohol abuse had caused permanent damage to the layers of her brain,” the source said.
“She was warned at that point that if she continued to drink, the damage would only get worse.”
At that meeting, they gave Wendy a devastating prognosis.
Rehabilitation doctors predicted the eventual decline in Wendy’s cognitive abilities, which became evident to those who had contact with the star in recent years.
“They told her that if she continued drinking she would continue to become more forgetful, that she wouldn’t remember people’s names and eventually she might forget who people were,” the source said.
After a call for comment was sent to Wendy’s team, they released a statement saying that Wendy had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia in 2023.
“The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support thousands of others facing similar circumstances,” the statement said.
She attacked Wendy’s guardian in that conversation.
“When I was in New York and I stayed with Wendy for the summer, I noticed when she called…she didn’t have access to the money,” Regina told the outlet.
“So every time she had to do something that she had to pay for, she had to go through the guardian.”
The star’s childhood best friend said that Wendy would often go hours without eating.
“When I came back to L.A., I would have to send her food from L.A. to New York via a delivery service because she wasn’t getting it… the communication wasn’t there.
“And she had no other access to money other than this guardian,” the friend added.
WENDY’S GUARD
Wendy’s bank, Wells Fargo, has frozen her bank accounts and filed a petition to hold a guardianship hearing for Wendy in early 2022.
In a complaint against the bank for blocking the star’s access to her accounts, the star’s lawyer said Wendy’s former financial advisor informed Wells Fargo that Wendy “was mentally ill,” which led the bank to freeze her accounts. accounts.
Wells Fargo referred to their authority to freeze your accounts “pending judicial or administrative appeals if they suspect financial exploitation, insanity, or undue influence.”
The daytime talk show host was soon placed under a court-appointed conservatorship under attorney Sabrina Morrissey.
Wendy’s family has claimed that they don’t know where she is and that they only know that she is in a rehab facility, according to People.
Wendy’s family, including her son and sister Wanda, claimed that she can only call them and the only person who knows where she is is her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina.
