Wendy Williams' Assisted Living Facility Files Police Report Claiming Niece Broke the Law | TMZ Live - video Dailymotion

TMZ

So much for Wendy Williams being able to come and go as she pleases and spend time with her family ... because the facility where she is being housed has filed a police report claiming that her niece broke the law by taking her to dinner.

Transcript

00:00Well, Wendy Williams had dinner and a police report last night.

00:05She did not order the second part.

00:06Yeah, at least that's the way it was put to us

00:10by people connected to Wendy.

00:11So we told you that Wendy had gone to a New York hospital

00:16to get a competency test, and she was there for three days.

00:20She went back to this facility she's

00:22been at late in the afternoon yesterday with her niece,

00:27Alex, Alex Finney.

00:30And Alex decided we should go out and celebrate.

00:33Sure.

00:33Because she had done so well on the competency test,

00:36they feel like this is a big step toward her getting out

00:41of this guardianship.

00:42So they go out to dinner.

00:44And as soon as they sit down, during dinner,

00:47they get a phone call from Wendy's attorneys

00:52saying that the facility is actually

00:56filing a police report against Alex

00:59because she had taken, in their eyes,

01:02taken Wendy without authorization.

01:05Out of the building.

01:06Out of the building without authorization.

01:08And so therefore, it was essentially kidnapping.

01:10So we told you that Wendy is locked on the fifth floor

01:15memory unit of this facility.

01:17And she can only go down if an attendant

01:20pushes the elevator button.

01:21There are several things that are unbelievable about this.

01:24The first of which is, two nights ago,

01:27we got a letter from the lawyer for The Guardian saying,

01:32all of these stories about Wendy being restrictive,

01:36they're just not true.

01:37Because Wendy can come and go as she pleases,

01:40and they've never tried to keep her away from her family.

01:44Well, that's kind of interesting.

01:45Because Alex Finney says, they called the cops on me.

01:49And so that's number one.

01:52Number two, Alex Finney says it is all BS

01:58that they left with the full cooperation of the facility.

02:03Right, that the attendant hit the elevator,

02:06let them down there, and actually

02:09walked them to their car.

02:10And opened the door of the Uber.

02:12So you can imagine their shock when they got back

02:14to the facility last night.

02:17We were there.

02:18This is what they had to say about a simple dinner that

02:21turned into this ordeal.

02:22How do you feel about the free Wendy Boorman?

02:26I feel so bad.

02:27Fabulous.

02:28Fabulous.

02:29So our recent events have been unbelievable.

02:33Police were called.

02:35But I was told that, at some point,

02:38police were called because the porter here

02:40was saying, allegedly, that I took my mom, excuse me,

02:44my aunt from this facility, and whizzed her away

02:48without any sort of confirmation or approval.

02:52Which, according to everything that we have learned,

02:54in terms of this whole situation,

02:56wondering exactly how that correlates with the statements

03:00that the guardian has made, that Wendy

03:03is able to come and go as she pleases,

03:05and that there are no family visits that are blocked.

03:07Clearly, they are lying to me when

03:10they say I can go out and do what I want to do.

03:13I just came from the hospital.

03:15So we are going out to celebrate.

03:18You know what I'm saying?

03:18Celebrate what?

03:20I don't know.

03:20I'm from the hospital.

03:22You know what I'm saying?

03:23And of the life.

03:24And this is what that does.

03:27So what we were told this morning

03:30is that when they got back, which

03:33is what you're looking at, to this facility,

03:37the managers were just falling all over themselves,

03:40apologizing, saying, oh, we're sorry.

03:43This was a misunderstanding.

03:44The police weren't there when they arrived.

03:45The police were not waiting for us.

03:46And so it's got to be embarrassing,

03:49I would think, that all of this happened last night.

03:54On the heels, I mean, it's embarrassing for the facility.

03:56It is embarrassing for the guardianship,

03:58having said, oh, she's got plenty of freedom.

04:03Well, no, she doesn't.

04:04No, she doesn't.

04:06Where do things stand?

04:07Does she have the freedom to come and go as she pleases?

04:10No.

04:10Has it been suggested?

04:11Or does she not?

04:12But maybe now.

04:14No.

04:15No, I understand that she hasn't.

04:16But just hear me out.

04:18As a theory of what happened last night

04:20is that they did start to make this call

04:23to file a police report.

04:25And that the guardian goes, whoa, whoa, whoa.

04:29We just said that she is free to go.

04:31We cannot do this now.

04:32We cannot do this now.

04:34Here's the theory.

04:35But here's why the theory doesn't work.

04:37I hear you.

04:37But here's why it doesn't work.

04:39If she was on any other floor in this facility,

04:43yeah, I would get it.

04:44She is on a particular floor, the fifth floor,

04:47the memory unit.

04:48She can only have access downstairs

04:52to any place in the building or outside

04:55if an attendant says yes.

04:57And they are very restrictive about this in that facility.

05:02So that's definitely true.

05:03I've been in one of these facilities before.

05:04When you're on the lockdown floor,

05:06you cannot operate the elevator without a pass card.

05:08So she's locked down in practice.

05:11In theory, should she?

05:13I mean, putting aside what we believe,

05:14based on where things are now,

05:16should she be on a different floor?

05:18Should she be given full access to the outside?

05:20It seems that maybe she should.

05:21I can answer that.

05:22So what happened here was about eight or nine months ago

05:25when Wendy arrived at this facility,

05:28because I spoke with a person

05:30who currently works at this facility,

05:32and we spoke to somebody who has left the facility

05:35but confirmed the story.

05:37And they said this, that Wendy was on the third floor,

05:40which has, you know, she can go in and out.

05:43The first or second day,

05:45Wendy went up to the restaurant

05:47and she drank too much and got drunk.

05:50And this is when she was still having problems.

05:53She's sober now, but the facility was horrified at it.

05:59And what the employee told me was,

06:02they decided we gotta keep her under lock and key,

06:05not because of her memory,

06:07because this employee said her memory is fine.

06:09We just wanted her on lockdown.

06:11So we put her there.

06:12We didn't have this drinking issue

06:14and we wanted to control her movement within the building

06:16so that she couldn't get to alcohol.

06:18Which is weird for her to be in a memory unit

06:21when her memory,

06:24and you can tell from the psychiatrist, is fine.

06:26Hi, Tina here.

06:28And there's a lot to unpack.

06:30I'm very happy that these people apologized

06:33because I don't see how you get

06:34from an attendant getting her in the elevator

06:38to a police call.

06:40It's really sad.

06:41I can't wait for good Wendy news.

06:43I can't wait for something to be positive.

06:47Let me just say, things are a-brewin'.

06:49And there is movement.

06:51I can tell you that based on what we know.

06:54There is movement in that direction.
