A longtime friend of Wendy Willams is speaking out on the isolating and absurd living conditions sheโs under in a new interview. And believe us when we tell you...sheโs not holding back.
Suggested Reading
Regina Schell, whoโs reportedly been friends with Williams since they were 13-years-old, recently gave an interview with the Daily Mail, in which she expressed her skepticism, displeasures, and disappointments about how her friend has been treated under he guardianship.
Chief among her disappointments is the fact that Williams is restricted when it comes to going outside of her New York living facility to get fresh air, let alone going outside to visit with family or friends. Schell said sheโs concerned that the story thatโs being pushed about how the former daytime talk show host is out of control and not mentally stable is concerning and upsetting.
Speaking to a recent video of Williamsโ recent trip to Florida where she was able to attend her son Kevin Hunter Jr.โs college graduation, Schell said:
โShe was surrounded by security, it feels a bit contrived. Iโm just not convinced by this video that sheโs OK. If she was free to do as she pleases, sheโd call me. Really, itโs so smelly. I want my friend to be OK. Thereโs this narrative they are portraying that she was out of control. Thereโs no proof of this.โ
On the topic of Williamsโ frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, Schell expressed further skepticism, noting that while she understands the disease gets worse as it runs its course, seeing how quickly Williams was reportedly deteriorating was both alarming and suspicious.
โIโve never seen her in the state theyโre declaring her to be. The whole thing is very suspicious to me. Her dementia has never directly been said to me or anyone that I know of,โ Schell said. โThereโs this background team, who weโve never seen, telling us she has dementia.โ
Additionally โ and whatโs even more suspicious โ is the new report published on Wednesday that detailed alleged troubling correspondence from the judge presiding over Williamsโ guardianship. According to TMZ, Judge Lisa Sokoloff has expressed ire towards Williams and the fact that sheโs been speaking out about her guardianship.
In emails seen by the outlet, Sokoloff is so bothered by the former radio hostโs recent press runs and floated the idea of moving her to a facility with tighter restrictions. The judge has also allegedly previously warned Williams against speaking to the media.
โI have always contended that [Wendy] will be given the independence she can handle. I question how well she has handled the independence she has been given,โ the judge said in part in one email.
In another email, the judge wrote: โTell your client that if she wants a jury she should refrain from trying to poison the jury pool.โ
Thankfully, Williams lawyer has pushed back on the judgeโs notions but thereโs really no telling whether or not the beloved TV host will soon face retaliation for her โbehavior.โ As we previously told you on Tuesday, Williams underwent a second medical evaluation to prove she was mentally stable and reportedly received a perfect score on her capacity test.
