Wendy Williams, who is battling aphasia and dementia, is living an isolated life in a luxury care center. The host, who cannot access her fortune, revealed that she is trying to get by on $15 and that her request to return to her career has been denied.
One of the most recognized television stars in the U.S., Wendy Williams is now in the spotlight due to both health issues and personal turmoil following her brilliant career achievements. The experiences of the famous host deeply sadden her viewers and fans.
STRUCK BY APHASIA AND DEMENTIA DIAGNOSIS
59-year-old Wendy Williams, who made a mark on screens with her talk show bearing her name for 14 seasons, was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which was also seen in the legendary figure of the cinema world, Bruce Willis, in recent months. This development has had a devastating effect on Williams, who has been battling serious health issues such as Graves' disease, lymphedema, and hyperthyroidism for years.
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES AND SUSPICIOUS MONEY TRANSFERS
In a statement made on her social media account, Williams claimed that large sums were withdrawn from her bank account without her permission. The famous personality alleged that $60,000 was first transferred to her therapist Dr. Rami Kaminski's account, followed by another $10,000, stating that these transactions occurred without her knowledge. Among the documents she shared was a letter written by Dr. Kaminski in 2022, claiming that Williams had lost her decision-making ability.
"PRISON" LIFE IN A LUXURY CARE CENTER
Williams has been living in a luxury care center in New York for some time. However, in her statements, she describes her life there as "prison life." In the radio programs she participated in, Williams emphasized that the control of her money has been taken away from her and is managed by her legal guardian, stating that the "allowance-like" amounts given to her do not even meet her basic needs.
HOPE TO RETURN TO HER CAREER REJECTED BY THE COURT
Last month, Wendy Williams applied to the court to be freed from guardianship and return to her career, but she did not find what she was looking for there either. The court rejected the star's request to return to her job. In fact, the judge's words, "Your career is over now," made headlines. This decision virtually shattered Williams' hopes of working again.
SHE ONLY HAS $15 LEFT
Williams also revealed her difficult situation on the radio program "The Breakfast Club." The famous host expressed that she only has $15 left in her bank account, saying, "They have locked up my money," expressing her desperation. The 60-year-old Williams, who stated that she is fighting to be freed from guardianship, asked for the public's support.
