Wendy Williams Says She Can’t Even Use The Elevator As She Details Life Inside Locked $25,000 Facility: ‘What Am I To Do?’

Wendy Williams is speaking candidly about life under guardianship as she pushes back against questions surrounding her health and independence.

In a new conversation with the New York Post, the former talk show host addressed the medical terms tied to her condition. Wendy said, “You hear the words ‘aphasia’ and ‘dementia.’” She then added, “What am I to do?”

Williams, 61, described living in what she says is a locked memory care unit, saying, “I’ve by now rested my case. It’s $25,000 a month here. There’s grass, trees, two floors, no cars around. Can’t even do the elevator to go down. It, too, is locked. I once was a connoisseur of food and now sometimes I’ll just have meals in my room. And I don’t drink.”

She continued, “And I’m 61. And mine is a locked floor. And there’s also an in and out hospital.”

Despite the restrictions, Wendy said she still attends church weekly. “There’s always security with me. Look, I go to church every Sunday. It’s the Christian Cultural Center, 10 a.m. I go with a personal aide.”

Williams also reflected on her former TV life and fashion, saying, “Understand, I did a daily TV show 14 years. This watching over me also deals with dresses. I was tall. Looking gorgeous. Now all my good stuff’s in storage. I’m just not going to have some guy follow me into storage. This means, what am I going to wear? Those days we wore long. So I cut the stuff down. I’ve now turned skirts into shorts.”

She added, “What I do is I keep things in my notebook. They say it’s dementia and aphasia.”

For now, Wendy said, “Best I can do is Monday and Friday I go to the gym. Let me tell you something else, and that is that I don’t know exactly how, what, why but I have gone through a lot of s?h*t.”

Should they finally free Wendy?
