Wendy Williams just took “Help me, I’m famous!” to a whole new level.
The 60-year-old TV legend was dramatically whisked away from her assisted living facility on Monday (March 10) after pulling a stunt straight out of a soap opera. According to the New York Police Department, officers rolled up for a welfare check, and next thing you knowβboom! Wendy was being loaded into an ambulance and sent to a local hospital for “evaluation.” (Which is code for: “Let’s figure out what in the talk show diva is going on here.”)
Now, hereβs where things get even wilder: According to The New York Post, Wendy allegedly pulled a full-on damsel-in-distress move and dropped a note from her fifth-story window. Yes, you read that right. She tossed a cry for help out into the streets like she was trapped in a medieval tower. And to make things even better? The note reportedly read: βHelp! Wendy!!β (Honestly, iconic. Short, sweet, and straight to the point.)
And get thisβshe didnβt just throw it into the void. She made sure a photographer caught it. If that isnβt A-list level strategy, I donβt know what is.
Wendy has been under a legal guardianship since May 2022, which sheβs been trying to fight off like itβs the villain in a lifetime movie. Her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claims Wendy is βcognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.β Wendy, however, has a very different opinion.
βI am not cognitively impaired, but I feel like I am in prison,β she declared on The Breakfast Club back in January.
βIβm in this place with people who are in their 90s, 80s, and 70s… These peopleβthereβs something wrong with them! I am clearly not.β
Meanwhile, Wendy is still booked and busy! Despite the drama, sheβs set to make her first appearance on The View this weekβwell, kinda. Sheβll be calling in. Over the phone. From… somewhere. (Will she phone in from the hospital? From a secret escape route? From another window?? Stay tuned.)
In the meantime, someone needs to get this woman a walkie-talkie, a grappling hook, or at the very least, a pigeon trained to deliver messages. The streets of New York canβt handle another Help! Wendy!! situation.
