This Wendy Williams saga is starting to feel like a reality show twist nobody saw coming. TMZ’s head honcho, Harvey Levin, just got off a 90-minute phone call with the talk show queen herself, and he’s officially shook. Why? Because the Wendy he talked to sounded sharp, sassy, and ready to spill tea—nothing like someone who supposedly needs a full-blown guardianship to handle her life.
Let’s break it down: Harvey says Wendy was lucid, articulate, and as opinionated as ever—basically, peak Wendy. But hold up! The guardianship team is over here waving a flag that says “Frontal Lobe Dementia: Do Not Pass Go.”
Joining Harvey on the call was none other than Charlamagne Tha God, who didn’t miss a beat to co-sign that Wendy was, in fact, still in her prime Wendy-ness. It’s like someone called her “permanently disabled,” and Wendy said, “Hold my wig.”
So… What’s Going On Here?
Now, let’s not pretend Wendy hasn’t had her struggles. She’s been open about past substance abuse, but Harvey swears she was clean as a whistle during their chat. No slurring, no rambling—just Wendy being Wendy. So, naturally, the question on everyone’s lips is: Was this guardianship put in place because of booze, or are we really talking about a medical condition here?
Wendy’s guardianship attorney, Roberta Kaplan, insists that Wendy has her ups and downs. But funny thing—her “downs” were suspiciously absent this week. Not only did she nail her phone call with Harvey, but she’s been out here giving interviews, chatting with Charlamagne, and living her best life—at least according to everyone who’s talked to her lately.
Is Guardianship Overkill?
Here’s where Harvey drops the mic: He thinks Wendy might be better off as a free woman with a sober coach in her corner, rather than being parked in an assisted living facility like a sitcom grandma. It’s a bold take, but one that raises some serious eyebrows.
So, what’s the verdict? Is Wendy being unfairly held back from reclaiming her purple chair on TV and her status as the queen of daytime shade? Or is this guardianship the safety net she secretly needs?
One thing’s for sure: The Wendy Williams Show may be over, but the drama is far from canceled.
