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 know—boom! 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, here’s 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: “Help! Wendy!!” (Honestly, iconic. Short, sweet, and straight to the point.)
And get this—she didn’t just throw it into the void. She made sure a photographer caught it. If that isn’t A-list level strategy, I don’t know what is.
Wendy has been under a legal guardianship since May 2022, which she’s been trying to fight off like it’s the villain in a lifetime movie. Her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claims Wendy is “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.” Wendy, however, has a very different opinion.
“I am not cognitively impaired, but I feel like I am in prison,” she declared on The Breakfast Club back in January.
“I’m in this place with people who are in their 90s, 80s, and 70s… These people—there’s something wrong with them! I am clearly not.”
Meanwhile, Wendy is still booked and busy! Despite the drama, she’s set to make her first appearance on The View this week—well, kinda. She’ll 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 can’t handle another Help! Wendy!! situation.
