Transcript

00:00Wendy Williams is saying she is a prisoner she wants out of this guardianship right and the guardianship or the attorney for the guardianship

00:09Says those interviews that you heard Wendy doing yesterday are not representative of what she is really going through

00:17We talked about the fact that she sounded really lucid seemed fine did not sound incapacitated in any way and

00:25We will you know

00:27We'll play a little bit in a minute, but the Guardian clearly heard that yeah guardian heard that and the guard and heard what the

00:33Public was saying because everyone said when they were like wait

00:35When do you mean so fine and the hashtag free Wendy was trending yesterday as a result, but?

00:41Roberta Kaplan the attorney for the guardianship told us

00:44that despite all that Wendy Williams suffers from frontal lobe dementia a

00:50Degenerative brain disease that has no cure as a result a state court found her to be legally incapacitated

00:57Meaning that she is not capable of making legal and financial decisions on her own

01:02unfortunately because of her diagnosis

01:04Wendy's condition will only get worse with time and she will require care for the rest of her life now

01:10juxtapose that

01:12With what she said and how she sounded on Charlamagne show in the Breakfast Club yesterday

01:19I am NOT cognitively impaired. You know what I'm saying though, but I feel like I am in prison you understand what I'm saying

01:25I'm in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s like I am I'm exhausted thinking about

01:33What if I can't see my dad for his birthday?

01:35You know at 94 you know the day after that is not

01:40Promise it's not like I want to give my dad some sort of fragrance

01:44You know I want to go to Sephora and pick and choose what?

01:47I

01:49Yeah

01:51My life is like

01:53There are a couple of things certainly I have questions about and I think you do absolutely one of them is this

02:01Let's say the diagnosis is accurate that she has frontal lobe dementia

02:06That doesn't mean the day. She's diagnosed that she's incompetent

02:11That is a disease that gradually becomes debilitating is she there yet?

02:17Because for example if somebody has Alzheimer's the day they have it. They don't go into a conservatorship. They live their life

02:24They're allowed to live their life

02:26Until they reach that point where they can't without without a guardian

02:30but Wendy Williams has the means to hire 24-hour care and

02:35She wants freedom and she's it's sort of like who do you believe me or your lion eyes?

02:41Because when you listen to this even if she has periods where she's not

02:47Competent she is competent a lot of the now. I mean that's clear Harvey

02:51I mean you say she's competent a lot of the time. I think her attorney pointed out

02:54She has some good days and some bad days

02:56So maybe this was one of her better days when she was speaking on the breakfast club and maybe their days

03:01Where she's not doing as well. I mean she's been appointed to living in this care facility by a judge

03:07So clearly they've been looking at the matter as well and maybe I've determined that Wendy isn't capable of living the life the way

03:15that she's describing she wants let's I

03:18Just wonder about that decision which you know, the attorney said those look a court decided

03:25That this needed to be put in place. No, but I wonder in chip not the way it's being handled, right?

03:31But my point is that decision when was that decision made? We know that Wendy

03:36You know when we saw the condition she was in in the lifetime series and it seemed alcohol was a big part, right?

03:42And I'm curious whether or not when that determination was made by the court that she needed to have this guardianship put in place

03:49Was that based more on the fact that she was out of control?

03:53With you know, that was of alcohol and I agree with you, but here's the thing. Let's say the guardians, right?

04:00Okay

04:01Why then do you?

04:04Prohibit her from having a cell phone. Why then do you say nobody can call her?

04:10Why then do you say she can't have a laptop?

04:13Why then do you say she can't go out and dinner with danger? What's the danger?

04:18What's the danger if there are all these bumpers put in place?

04:22Financially that no one can take advantage of her scammer because the guardians have control of her money

04:27So, what are they? Why are they were they hiding her? Why are they Heidi? There's something William. There's either

04:36Something is missing here because that that's the big question

04:38I I there's that's why she feels like a prisoner right and that's why she feels like I think for her

04:43There's that's exactly the point. She's like, I don't who are they protecting me from?

04:47Who are they protecting her from what is going on that? She can't have a cell phone

04:53What is going on that she can't really communicate with the outside world unless she has a landline where she can call out

04:59But that's it. Nobody can call her and her family can't call her. What are they protecting her from?
