00:00Yeah, my life is like a tearful Wendy Williams calls her

00:08guardianship a prison in a rare interview. The former talk show

00:12host calls into the Breakfast Club on January 16th, breaking

00:17her silence about her court appointed guardianship, which a

00:20New York judge placed her under in 2022. In the emotional

00:25interview, which Wendy gives alongside her niece, Alex, the

00:28media personality denies guardian Sabrina Morrissey's

00:33previous claims made in a November 2024 court filing that

00:38Wendy quote has become cognitively impaired and

00:41permanently incapacitated.

00:44Wendy, tell us what's going on.

00:46Well, first of all, to start with, my niece, Alex knows a lot

00:51as well, you know, but I am not cognitively impaired. You know

00:55what I'm saying? No, but I feel like I am in prison. You

00:58understand what I'm saying? You know that this system that I'm

01:01in, you know, this system has falsified a lot. You know what

01:07I'm saying? You know what I said, you're cognitively

01:10impaired and you're incapacitated. Do I seem that

01:14way? You've been calling me five times a day for the last two

01:19weeks. No, you don't seem that way. Excuse me, who I naturally

01:26am is who I naturally am. You know what I'm saying? And my

01:29niece knows all about that crap.

01:31Wendy and her niece also make allegations regarding her day to

01:34day life in the New York wellness facility that she lives

01:38in.

01:38But I keep the door closed. I watch TV. You know what I'm

01:42saying? I listen to radio, you know, and I watch the window,

01:45you know, and I sit here like my as my life goes by. You

01:48understand what I'm saying? I can call you, but you can't call

01:52me. You understand what I'm saying? I don't even know what

01:54what kind of phone this is that I have. All I'm saying is that

01:57when I call you, you listen, if you don't call me back, you

02:01can't call me back. You understand what I'm saying? I

02:03can't I can't sit on the phone, you know, and look at things,

02:07you know what I'm saying? And scroll through things. I can't

02:09do that. I do not have a laptop. You understand? I don't have an

02:13iPad.

02:14You know, what she's saying is exactly what's happened. She's

02:19there in New York, in this place, essentially like what

02:24some people call a luxury prison, right? This is her room

02:29that's literally her apartment. But the thing about this

02:32apartment, and you know this, Wendy, because you're there,

02:35it's small. She has a bed, a chair, a TV, a bathroom, and

02:40she's looking out one window. Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean,

02:42imagine you're sitting in a space every single day, you're

02:46not getting sunlight, you're you're you're not able to leave

02:49to leave your place. You can't see people you can't you can't

02:52just have free conversation. You know, you do this day in and

02:56day out for months or years at a time. Emotionally and mentally,

03:00that breaks you down in ways that I can't even imagine. I

03:03mean, we know that.

03:04The 60 year old also becomes emotional at one point

03:07explaining that she fears retaliation for speaking out.

03:12Might not be. Yeah. My life is like, up. Yeah.

03:21Alex, Alex, do you think you think that there'll be some

03:25time? There'll be some type of retaliation from the Guardian

03:28because of this, you know, maybe this phone call or because

03:31Yeah. Wow. We've talked about that. You know, my aunt, even

03:36with her wanting to come on, we talked about all scenarios. I

03:39said, you know, do this. You're ready for what's on the other

03:41side. And as she said, I have to do this. There's nothing else

03:46I could do at this point. She's prepared for the fact that her

03:48phone might be taken away.

03:49What if they take my phone? I won't be able to talk to

03:52anybody. Yeah.

03:54The former shock jock also claims that the wellness

03:57facility that she lives in is trying to force medication on

04:01her.

04:01Everybody is like, nursemaids, so to speak, you know what I'm

04:05saying? They come in, and they give your pills, you know what

04:10I'm saying? And then they leave and I told you not to take I

04:13told you don't take the pills.

04:15Excuse me. I've had two pills all of my life. Alex, you know

04:20what I'm talking about? Yeah, you know, exactly what you're

04:23talking about. Excuse me, there are seven pills. I have no idea

04:29what is this pill doing? What is it going to listen? I haven't

04:32been to a pill person in a matter of long time, you know

04:39to the point where, excuse me, doctor, can you tell me what

04:42this pill is for?

04:43Her niece is also urging fans to speak out on social media to

04:47bring awareness to Wendy's alleged situation.

04:50There's the hashtag free Wendy. There's also a change.org

04:54petition as well. And also just just making as much noise as

04:59possible. You know, potentially, you know, GoFundMe, whatever we

05:04have to do to make sure that my aunt is in a place where she is

05:09living her life in dignity. For the woman that she is now,

05:13that's what we're gonna do.

05:14And while Wendy mostly opens up about her own life in the

05:17interview, the New Jersey native, a longtime outspoken

05:21critic of Sean Diddy Combs also weighs in on the rapper's legal

05:25troubles.

05:26He's currently in jail awaiting trial and has pleaded not guilty

05:29to charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force and

05:33transportation to engage in prostitution.

05:37All these years later to see where Diddy currently is, what

05:39do you feel about that situation?

05:41Hey, when I when I watch TMZ, and I see the stuff that goes

05:44on, I'm like, oh my gosh. And then all of a sudden I see me

05:47on TMZ. And as far as Diddy, Diddy will go to prison for life

05:51people. You don't know things that I do about Diddy back in

05:54the day. And you want to know what? It's about time people. It

05:58is about time. Diddy done.

06:00E! News has reached out to reps for Wendy's guardian Sabrina

06:03Morrissey in response to Wendy and Alex's claims made in the

06:07interview but has not yet heard back. Morrissey is currently in

06:11a legal battle with TV networks A&E and Lifetime Entertainment

06:15over the release of the 2024 docuseries Where is Wendy

06:19Williams, which explored Wendy's life under the guardianship.

06:25Are we ready? Yeah. All right. And away we go.

06:30Love you, Wendy.

06:31All I know is how to be famous. I really want to be back on

06:35television.

06:35You're gonna be back on TV. That's easy.

06:38My mom has done a great job making it seem like everything

06:41is okay. Always.

06:42Wendy, make sure you look here. One, two, three.

06:45But in reality, there's something wrong going on.

06:48Did you see a neurologist? To find out if I'm crazy?

06:53Oh my god. No, I can't do this. I can't do this. I have to sit

06:57down again.

06:58She was put in front of a judge and given a guardian. That was

07:01when they took her away from us.

07:02I have no money. I'm gonna tell you something. If it happens to

07:06me, it could happen to you.

07:09As her family, we were all sitting on the sidelines

07:11watching. And she was crying out for help.

07:14Did you drink this whole thing today?

07:16Keep it there. Okay. Keep it there.

07:19My mom, she always talks about how she wants to work. I feel as

07:23though she's worked enough.

07:24In 2024, Wendy's team had gone public with news of a diagnosis

07:28of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. At the time, Wendy

07:33told E! News in a statement, I have immense gratitude for the

07:36love and kind words I have received after sharing my

07:39diagnosis of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Let me

07:43say, wow, your response has been overwhelming. Please just know

07:47that your positivity and encouragement are deeply

07:50appreciated.

07:55Mhm.

07:59Mhm.

08:01Mhm.
