Wendy Williams reveals she’s only been outside twice in 30 days
Wendy Williams is letting her fans know how she’s doin’ as she pleads to be released from her guardianship.
The former talk show host, 60, opened up about her stay in the New York facility, which she’s called a “prison,” claiming she’s “not allowed” to even go outside on her own free will.
Williams appeared in a new documentary titled “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy,” now available on Tubi, revealing she’s only been outside twice in the past month and both times were for appointments.
The interview between Williams and TMZ’s founder, Harvey Levin, was conducted over the phone. Since the ex-TV star cannot have visitors, she was filmed from the sidewalk below as she stood looking out of her fifth-story window.
When Levin asked if she was “allowed to go out,” Williams responded, “No, no. I am not allowed to go out. I can call you, but you can’t call me.”
He then asked Williams how many times she’d been given permission to go outside in the past 30 days.
“In the last 30 days I went out twice,” she claimed, adding that each time was for dental appointments.
Williams also claimed that she asked her “guardian person,” aka Sabrina Morrissey, “for an iPad since years it seems like. But an iPad – can I please have my telephone back? Can I please be able to call, you know, my family?”
She continued to ask, “What is the problem with me calling and talking to friends of mine? They’re not allowed to come in here – friends of mine. You know what I’m saying?”
In the documentary, the ex-“Wendy Williams Show” host said she barely comes out of her room, saying she’s been “isolated” over the past year.
Describing the other patrons at the facility as “in their 90s and 80s,” Williams revealed, “I eat lunch and dinner in my bedroom. I don’t eat out there with the people that live here just ’cause it’s so god—n depressing.”
Later in the interview, Williams said, “Listen, this system has failed. This system has failed from top to bottom regarding this guardian and everybody involved with that.”
She told Levin: “I want my freedom back. How about that?”
Williams recently got a win in her guardianship battle after Morrissey informed a judge that she’d be open to having the star undergo a new medical evaluation in light of her recent claims that she isn’t suffering from dementia.
The guardian also revealed she’d like to pause on the lawsuit against A&E over the Lifetime docuseries “Where Is Wendy Williams?” — adding she has “no interest” in going after the network if an evaluation proves that Williams can proceed on her own, especially after Wendy indicated she did not want to move forward with the suit.
“I don’t want that kind of money,” Williams told Charlamagne tha God of Morrissey’s lawsuit on a Jan. 16 episode of “The Breakfast Club. “I’ve worked with Lifetime several times. You know what I’m saying? Enough that I would love to do something with Lifetime again.”
During the radio interview, the former talk show staple also insisted she was “not cognitively impaired” and did not have frontotemporal dementia, despite her “care team” announcing her diagnosis in 2023.
In her request for a new evaluation, Morrissey reiterated that doctors at Weill Cornell Medical Center diagnosed Williams and noted that it was Justice Lisa Sokoloff, the judge overseeing Williams’ guardianship case, who ruled her “incapacitated.”
“My life is f–ked up,” Williams told “The Breakfast Club.”
“I feel like I’m in prison. 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.”
