Wells Fargo expressed their concern for their client after sending a letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth and requested a hearing to determine if Williams needs guardianship to oversee her finances and other assets. Wendy Williams has not hosted her show since July 2021 due to her ongoing health issues as reported by Page Six.
“It is our hope that the Guardianship Part [of the court] will imminently appoint a temporary guardian or evaluator to review the situation and ensure that [Williams’] affairs are being properly handled,” said attorney David H. Pikus in the letter.

Her attorney Celeste N. McCaw filed an emergency petition last Friday after Wells Fargo denied Williams any access to her accounts, assets, and statements after the TV host’s former financial advisor claimed she was incapable. Lori Schiller was reportedly let go due to alleged “malfeasance” involving her accounts and her conduct regarding their professional relationship.
McCaw also filed a temporary restraining order against Wells Fargo to stop the bank from freezing Williams’ accounts.
