Wendy Williams’ Friend Claims TV Host Had $55 Million In The Bank Days Before Guardian Took Control & Told Her ‘There Is No Money’

An alleged close friend of Wendy Williams recently expressed concerns about her court-appointed guardianship.

A woman named Regina Schell wrote in an affidavit that she witnessed the famed TV host have a substantial amount of funds in her Wells Fargo bank account, days before her guardian claimed she was broke.

Reportedly, Regina Schell made the claim in a filing she submitted on behalf of Wendy Williams‘ ex-husband Kevin Hunter’s alimony case. The embattled TV producer has been back and forth in court, fighting to have his divorce settlement payments restored after Wells Fargo abruptly cut him off following Wendy Williams’ mandated guardianship in 2022.

Regina Schell wrote in the document that despite Williams‘ guardian Sabrina Morrissey claiming she’s broke, she consulted with the entertainer about a $55 million Wells Fargo balance she held right before Williams was isolated from her friends and family. The affidavit read:

“In July of 2022, Wendy invited me to stay with her in New York City for an extended period…During that visit, Wendy expressed to me that she wished to explore options regarding her estate, specifically a possible change with her current financial institution…She also shared with me documents from Wells Fargo showing a cumulative balance of nearly $55 million.”

Continuing, Schell suggested that something sinister happened in the months after, explaining:

“Wendy had scheduled an appointment with Bank of America’s Private Banking Group…I remained present during the entire presentation…Following the meeting, I witnessed Wendy handing the Bank of America proposals and documents to Ms. Morrissey as we were all in the same vehicle drive to the courthouse,”

She continued:

“Days later, I returned to my home in California and received an urgent call from Wendy’s then-publicist…The publicist claimed to have overheard a conversation between Wendy and Ms. Morrissey, whereas Ms. Morrissey gave Wendy the unfortunate news that there is no money in Wendy’s accounts…In disbelief, I immediately contacted Ms. Morrissey. Ms. Morrissey and I have been in regular contact, and I fully expected her to tell me there was some sort of miscommunication, but instead, I was blocked from all communication with her, and denied access to my beloved friend,”

Schell went on to add in the sworn statement that she hasn’t spoken to Williams since May 2023.

As previously reported, Kevin Hunter claimed that Morrissey has been refusing to resume his divorce settlement payments, arguing that Williams’ is no longer able to pay due to her alleged low income and bank account balances. However, Hunter is attempting to prove that Morrissey is ultimately the one guilty of emptying Williams‘ accounts.

It is unclear how Schell’s testimony will affect Hunter’s case against Morrissey at this time.
