Williams was placed in her guardianship after her bank believed she was being financially abused. She entered a care facility in April 2023. But last year, her family criticized her care, claiming they have trouble visiting and communicating with her.

Former talk show host Wendy Williams told “The Breakfast Club” radio show Thursday morning that she’s not cognitively impaired as her guardian has alleged, saying through tears that she’s being kept in a “luxury prison” with only limited contact with her family.
