One thing I didn't get, was ok yes she was very thin, esp her legs.  But if she was drinking as much as was said, wouldn't she be heavier? 

When Wendy was in New York drinking, she was not eating regularly. There was a moment where the niece was told there was no food in the refrigerator & she got emotional. The son talked about how thin she looked & said when he had her in Miami for a length of time, he fed her a vegan diet & zero alcohol & she gained 20 pounds. (I have never heard of anyone gaining weight from a vegan diet.) Outside of the show, the childhood best friend said Wendy had no access to money outside of the guardian. Wendy would ask for breakfast to be delivered at 7am, but the guardian would not respond until noon. The best friend said she was regularly having food delivered to Wendy in NYC from Los Angeles.

In my non-professional opinion, Wendy's thinness is due to malnourishment--- due to alcoholism, exacerbated by the way her body processes alcohol with her thyroid condition, & made worse by the guardian. This may be why her body is lean, but her face is bloated.

Basically, she's drinking & not eating.

More crap happening to Wendy - seen on today's Yahoo News:

1)  The IRS is coming for her - they put a lien on her NYC apartment for over half a million dollars in unpaid taxes from 2019 and 2021.   Story here

2) The ex-husband is going back to court to obtain 2 years of spousal support money he feels he is still owed.  This punkass will not stop trying to put his fingers back into Wendy's purse.

Wendy only got paid $400,000 for her documentary. That's crazy.

[NowVoyager]

Aw. Blac Chyna/Angela White says she has not seen Wendy since the day she filmed the documentary. If you recall, the scene was memorable because Wendy removed her wig. Angela says she just happened to pop in to visit that day & wants to get back to NYC to do so again. Hm. No slight against Angela's heart, but clearly she does not know that Wendy moved some time ago.

 

[Mindthinkr]

Sadly I don’t believe we are ever going to see WW back in a working capacity. As it stands we rarely see her period. To my mind the downward spiral all began when her ex got his side piece pregnant. I think he has some nerve still vying to get his hands on her money. I hope she doesn’t suffer with all her medical issues. 

[Mindthinkr]

The latest round of Wendy vs Kelvin 

https://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2024/04/blind-item-4_20.html

It seems he owes her around $112,000. that he was overpaid when he was collecting support from her. Now they want it back. To me it looks like collecting blood from a stone. If he has money I believe it’s in a foreign account where the U.S. authorities can’t collect from. However, I think he spent it trying to keep his mistress happy because when his well went dry she dumped him. 

I’m sad that most news about her doesn’t seem as though she is sound of mind or able to handle her own affairs. I don’t trust those “handling” her or her family not to keep dipping their hands into her purse. There seems to be little as far as updates or new information about her on any news or gossip sites. I have to wonder if it’s that bad or someone is trying to cover something up.

Yes. I believe some of her family members are just as shady and greedy as Kelvin. I'd like to know what Wendy's state appointed fiduciaries are doing for her lately.

It won't take long before Wendy's savings/assets are sucked dry. Then nobody will give two $hits about her. It is a mess.

Seems like this will be a never ending saga with no happy outcome for Wendy. She will end up owing so much money to the state appointed fiduciaries, lawyers and whoever will sue her "estate" for money. Like her son, her personal assistants.

against Wendy's financial guardian:

There was an hour-long hearing. Kelvin is demanding to see Wendy's financial records in an attempt to resume his alimony payments & accusing the guardian of shady behavior.

Wendy Williams’ New York City penthouse has been sold.thewendyexperiencepodcast/Instagram

Wendy Williams’ extravagant New York City penthouse is off the market.

The former talk show host’s 2,400 square foot property in the Financial District, which was purchased in July 2021 for $4.5 million, was sold by her guardian on Friday for $3.75 million, according to records accessed by The Post.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home boasts a terrace overlooking the Hudson River, as well as floor-to-ceiling windows.

While Williams’ primary suite — complete with a five-fixture bath — is on the upper level, the residence’s main level has a living/dining room and open kitchen.

The building, additionally, features a fitness center, a 60-foot lap pool, a sauna, a steam room and a Jacuzzi.

Williams, 59, often posted pictures in the luxe space before she stopped sharing on social media in 2022.

It also served as the backdrop to her daytime show in 2020 when she hosted remotely amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In February 2022, Williams was deemed an “incapacitated” person by her bank and appointed a new financial guardian, despite her denial.

The former broadcaster was diagnosed with progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia the following year.

Prior to the condo’s sale, Williams’ belongings — including her iconic purple “Hot Topics” chair “Wendy Williams Show” fans know and love — were reportedly sold off.

Her rep told us in March 2023 that Williams was “spring cleaning [as] … people do this time of year.”

News broke in March that the retired journalist is allegedly facing a federal tax lien over $500,000 in unpaid taxes.

Her home was under lien at the time, according to TMZ.

Williams began hosting her show in 2008, filming the final episode in 2021 before the role was taken over by guest hosts until its June 2022 finale.

Her legal and personal woes took center stage on the “Where Is Wendy Williams?” documentary released in February on Lifetime, which her former publicist said “exploited” Williams and “would have … mortified” her.

The Daytime Emmy nominee is currently in an undisclosed treatment facility.

    I think there a lot of shady ones. Have you seen the movie I Care a Lot with Rosamunde Pike, Dianne Wiest, and Peter Dinklage? It’s about a caretaker/guardian. She gets the judge to award custodianship to her. Then she  sells all their assets, and the gives the Judge a cut. She then lives the life of luxury bilking the next mark. Pike won an Emmy for her performance. 
    I suspect a similar situation here, except that WW is having medical issues and is in need of help. Unfortunately her family has not be been solid help or they steal from her as well.

It does sound like that could be WW they're referring to. I wonder if her guardians would let her take on yet another TV documentary.

[NowVoyager]

 

The latest on Wendy. Very sad & troubling. Her longtime Best Friend has not spoken to her in about a year.

[KWalkerInc]

There was an update about Wendy on Entertainment Tonight last night.  She went to a health and wellness store in New Jersey with Kevin Jr.  They interviewed an employee, but I was listening to the radio too so I couldn't really understand him, other than the fact that he said Kevin Jr. assisted her with walking.  There was an article that didn't say much else beyond repeating old info, but it did say that eyewitnesses described her as "alert."

[Jaded]

Wendy Williams Spotted Out in Public for the First Time in a Year

[NowVoyager]

It is wonderful that Wendy is spending time with her son!!! My understanding: the herbalist shop owner is the son of the late man who helped Kevin jr when he had his drug problem years ago. 

 

 

[Mindthinkr]

Yet I still see on some gossip sites that Kelvin Jr is spending her money fast. I just hope it all is to benefit his mother. There was also talk of her meeting up with some producers to discuss her being on tv again. I’d like that, but am afraid she’d only be a shell of her former self. 

[Jaded]

If Wendy is still under the conservatorship I wouldn't think Kelvin Jr. would have access to her money like that.

FYI to Wendy Fans

I occasionally come to this thread and scroll through random comments from the past and relive the highs/lows of being a Wendy watcher.  It was a sad day for me when someone (show producers?) decided to erase all of the WW shows from Youtube and I lost the ability to rewatch old episodes.  Luckily, someone has created "The Wendy Archive" on YT and has been uploading random shows back. It's bittersweet to see our girl in her heyday.

Jaw ---> floor.

Kelvin wants the divorce overturned!!! He's claiming fraud: citing Wendy's bff Regina stating she saw $55 million in Wendy's Wells Fargo account; says he thought she only had $7 million when the divorce was settled. He's also questioning the validity of the Wendy's guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Something about Sabrina being licensed in New York, while their divorce was litigated in New Jersey.

https://www.the-sun.com/entertainment/12587319/wendy-williams-ex-kevin-hunter-demands-divorce-overturned/

I'm torn. Kelvin did Wendy dirty & set her off on this spiral. At the same time: her family and friends have not had results in helping recover Wendy's money. I kinda feel like Kelvin might be the best person in Wendy's life to do that. 

What do ya'll think??

I think Kevin will do anything to get the money train rolling in his favor again, even to the point of keeping the courts involved in his shenanigans.  Overturning the divorce to what end?   What other reason than to try for more $$$, not because he wants to step up and be Wendy's savior. 

I think only a gold-digging, money grubbing leech would keep this mess going.  A standup guy would have moved on, got a job and concentrated on being a productive father/husband.

 

[NowVoyager]

 

 

[patty1h]

I know that Wendy was quite vocal about Sean Combs back in the day - she used to heavily hint that he was gay and/or had sex with men regularly.  There was also rumor that those statements got Diddy so crazy that he orchestrated WW being fired from some radio station.    Hearing how SC was a puppet master with a lot of money, getting people fired AND shot, it sounds true now.

I can only imagine what Wendy would be saying now as every day new dirt is coming out about Diddy, and she could feel vindicated to the people who thought she was just a hater making up stories for airtime.

[patty1h]

In a fascinating coincidence to my previous post, a podcaster who is covering the Diddy saga dropped her latest chapter and goes into how Wendy outed Diddy years ago.

Stephanie Soo, who has millions of followers to her "Rotten Mango" podcast is on Part 4 of her deep-dive expose on Combs.  She spent about 20 minutes out of this latest 3+ hour episode on the history of Wendy/Diddy, showing clips of the time SC was on Wendy's show and (maybe?) made a veiled threat against Kevin Jr.   The Wendy part starts about 28 minutes in.

Wendy Williams' guardian is still suing Lifetime over the WW's documentary. She stated that Wendy is permanently incapacitated. She also wants some information in the court transcript to be redacted for Wendy's privacy.

  Wow that’s so sad. It’s a shame she didn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t  get treatment for her alcoholism before it rattled her brain. I had always held out hope that we would see her once again on screen.  She was so vibrant before her fainting on air which seemed to be the beginning (that I saw) of her massive downward spiral. 
    I know it’s not exactly fair to blame anyone for her outcome, but if Kelvin had been a better husband I’d like to think this would not have been her end game.

[Mindthinkr]

Have any of you seen the movie I Care A Lot? It has to do with guardianships and how individuals are just waiting in the wings to take over a person’s life. They also are usually appointed by a Judge. Loosely this has reminded me of what’s going on with Wendy. Do I doubt that she’s mentally unwell…no. I do doubt the story we are being told that she is totally incapacitated and needs full time care. Then again with all her health issues she might need the care, but when have we seen her speak? Her guardian could be having her sedated at any legal appearances rendering her seemingly unfit. Am I glad that they are fighting the case over the use of her image without permission…yes. Those shows did her dirty and she had no ability to dispute any of their allegations. There should have been a cap on how much to spend of her legal team tho, as if she doesn’t win it could deplete her finances and land her in a state run nursing home (not the best care in those because there usually isn’t enough staff and proper medical supplies…just my experience with them. It might not be yours). If she wins the legal team gets their due first. Then the guardian. WW would be lucky to see 1/3 to 1/4 of any settlement. Again it’s no longer her choice what is done with any funds that she has or stands to gain if this lawsuit wins in court. Do I think Kelvin deserves control? Heck no. Nor do I think her son is savvy enough to handle her needs (both medical and $$). This whole thing sickens me. Not that I was ever her biggest fan, but the lady does deserve better than being a sensationalized broke has been.

I wouldn't be so quick to blame Kevin Sr. for WW's downward spiral. Wendy is a grown ass woman who had been in denial for years! Practically everyone in the industry knew that he was cheating on her, but she kept saying "everything is okay in Hunterville" (or something that effect).

Either Wendy should have kicked him to the curb sooner or just admitted that Kevin was cheating. But her pride stood in the way, whether she still loved him or not. She was definitely in the state of denial to anyone who said otherwise.

Bottom line, Wendy did this to herself. Maybe at first she just wanted sympathy from Kevin, but when she didn't get it, she got deeper and deeper into a hole.

I completely agree - we remember the day she waved her wedding ring in front of the camera and saying it was not going anywhere.  All of that nonsense is on her back. 

I never understood it when people would blame Kevin for Wendy's decline.   I can recall so many times during Hot Topics she would talk about some celeb who was in a bad marriage, cheating situation, etc. and Wendy would roll her eyes and pass judgement on "those people".   She could hold up a mirror to others but turned a blind eye to her own issue.

I don’t.  I saw someone in that series who needs full time care.  Not just a matter of drying out, but someone in full mental decline who needs round the clock memory care services.  I don’t think anyone was secretly sedating her during the series (enabling her drinking was another story).  At that time, the guardian seemed mostly hands off and the mental decline was evident.

[Jaded]

I can completely believe she's in the state that's being reported. I didn't know much about this type of dementia until I learned about it after Connie Kunkle who was a host on one of the shopping channels passed away. I left those channels on a lot for background noise after my Mom died so I was familar with who she was. I would snark in the Shopping Channel section that used to be here and another one that's still around.

Connie was diagnosed in 2015 and died in 2016. I've mentioned her previously awhile back in this thread or the one for the stuff about Wendy that the lawsuit is over. A lot of viewers who posted on forums that discuss shopping channels thought Connie was always drunk or high during the time she was still trying to do her job on air. I never commented on her behavior at all because I got the feeling something was off. This is from her wiki page.
 

Quote

In 2015, Kunkle was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. In the last few months of her life, she transitioned to a memory care facility in College Station where she received loving care from her family. Kunkle died in her sleep on December 14, 2016, due to complications from the disease. She was 58 years old. She was laid to rest at Greenwood Cemetery (Orlando, Florida).

She wore a sequins gown, designer bag, designer sneakers & her jewels. Her nails were done in a new color from the pictures a week ago; I think her family is pampering her.

It seems Wendy is improving when her guardian isn’t around. I read somewhere (don’t know if it’s true or not) that she was being given vodka when under her care. Looks like there’s a big improvement and I’m genuinely happy for her that she was well enough to attend her son’s graduation. 
Thank you for the pictures as well @NowVoyager  This made me happy.
