How Does Wendy Williams Feel About Her Conservatorship?

Wendy transparently opened up regarding her conservatorship in January 2025. During her interview with The Breakfast Club, she shared: “I am not cognitively impaired but I feel like I am in prison. I’m in this place with people who are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s. These people, there’s something wrong with these people here on this floor. I am clearly not.”

She went on to vulnerably explain her day-to-day struggles while being under her conservatorship. Wendy shared while sobbing: “My life is f***** up. I’m definitely isolated. I keep the door closed, I watch TV, listen to the radio and look out the window. Sit here as my life goes by. They won’t allow you to leave or have visitors. So you can’t even leave and take a walk if you wanted to, or take a trip or visit family members. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to see my dad on his 94th birthday. The day after that is not promised. This is what is called emotional abuse.”
