Wendy Williams' candid revelations from her assisted living facility have sparked a wave of curiosity and controversy. In a rare and emotional interview, Williams, who resides in Coterie, a luxurious assisted living facility in Hudson Yards, New York, shared her frustration with her living conditions. She described it as a "f***ed-up situation," expressing her desire to be moved from the memory care unit where she is currently housed.
Williams' surroundings are tightly regulated, with the floor being locked and her movements restricted. She requires permission from both Coterie and her court-appointed guardian to leave, and personal phones are not permitted. However, Williams has a landline for outgoing calls, and her friend Max Tucci, owner of the renowned Tucci restaurant, revealed that she has been vocal about the facility, comparing it to a place where billionaires send their grandmothers.
Initially, Williams resided on a higher floor of Coterie, enjoying marble bathrooms and floor-to-ceiling windows. However, after a birthday celebration at the facility's penthouse bar, where she reportedly indulged a little too much, she was moved to the memory care unit.
Despite the restrictions, Williams maintains her independence, attending a megachurch in Brooklyn, which she credits for keeping her faith strong and connected to God and herself. She also stays updated on news and listens to her old radio show using an iPad in her suite. The cost of her unit is a staggering $25,800 per month, in addition to legal and guardian fees.
The drama surrounding Williams extends beyond the facility walls. Her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, has filed a lawsuit, labeling her guardianship as "fraudulent bondage" and accusing the judge of being "crooked." While the lawsuit seeking $250 million in damages was dismissed on October 9, Hunter may choose to refile. Williams' son, Kevin Jr., aims to distance himself from the drama, expressing his desire for his mother's freedom, stating, "Because it's not right."
A recent medical report could potentially influence the future of Williams' guardianship, with sources suggesting a full removal is unlikely. The situation remains complex and emotionally charged, leaving many questions unanswered. What are your thoughts on this controversial case? Feel free to share your opinions in the comments below!
