Two months ago it was confirmed that former talk show host Wendy Williams's court ordered guardianship was triggered by her son's lavish spending [click here if you missed that].
Apparently Wendy consented to a financial guardianship to protect her money from her son but didn't realize her personal rights would also be taken away...
From EW
Wendy Williams is currently waging a public fight against a guardianship she was ordered into by a court in 2022, but a close associate of the legendary host says that Williams originally advocated for the arrangement.
Ginalisa Monterroso, Williams' health care advocate, tells PEOPLE that while Williams initially consented to being overseen by the court-appointed legal guardian Sabrina Morrissey, she would never have agreed had she known how many legal rights and protections would be stripped from her.
Williams has "no rights," within her current arrangement, Monterroso says, adding, "Somebody in prison has more rights than a person put under a guardianship."
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to a rep for Williams for comment.
The move for a guardianship was first initiated in 2022, when the Wendy Williams Show host revealed that her former financial advisor, Lori Schiller, had advocated for the bank to deny Williams access to all of her financial accounts, assets, and statements because she "was of unsound mind."
It was after Williams' son, Kevin Hunter Jr., used his power of attorney to withdraw a large sum from Williams' account that Wells Fargo escalated from blocking Williams' access to her accounts to requesting she be placed under a temporary financial guardianship. Under New York state law, however, that temporary guardianship quickly evolved into a full legal guardianship, which means Williams can no longer manage her own bank account, decide how her money is spent, choose where to live, vote, marry, or select her own doctors. She checked into a wellness facility, and currently resides in a luxury high-rise assisted-living facility in New York.
"She wanted to make sure nobody's in her money and she would be fine," Monterroso said. "She kind of felt like, 'Hey, I have the court. They're going to sign me a money person. I'm going to be good.' In no way did she think that our whole life was going to be taken away from her."

Told y'all she agreed to this. She thought she could control it. She's something else.
No body had to tell me this. That boy is his fada son. He will do Wendy exactly like his daddy did, wid his consent. Wendy brother been talking shyt so he out, the sister neva seem 2 play any part in Wendy life. And her dad is too old. Wendy needs to gather er cents realize she placed 2 much of her life on big Kev N Lil kev , cut them both off quit drinking N drugging in a half way house of sum sort. Before its too dsmn late
Rather she agreed or not, the way she's being treated is horrible
She's being treated like anyone is who is under a guardianship. Why didn't she consult a lawyer before she gave up her rights? Because she was so out of her mind with alcohol and drugs that it didn't occur to her.
It's WHETHER she agreed or not ...
She has terrible decision making skills but she sure was good at laughing at other people's life choices.
All these goings on are a result of being snaked by her box head son. Why she didn't just revoke his POA and set her own banking rules/daily limits is beyond me.
Aw so sad to bad Karma is having a feast on Wendy
All the men in Wendy's life let her down
Wendy has already admitted to this when he purchased the condo, a $100,000 on a yacht for his birthday and hundreds of thousands on ubereats. She thought she could trust the conservatorship and they would protect her but instead they all took advantage of her.
This has nothing to do with karma, it's abuse of power.
The Conservatorship did not take advantage of her. It's doing what it's supposed to be doing which is protecting her from her family and herself. Wendy thought she was smarter than everyone else and didn't ask any questions. She didn't bring in her own lawyer to ask questions. She didn't even try to find out the definition of a Conservatorship. Wendy deserves everything that's happened to her.
it be your own kids
2:36 PM. So in other words she FAFOd. 🤣
^👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
She thought she found a way to protect her money from her ex. Why didn't she have a team of lawyers and accountants?
