Wendy Williams financial exploitation guardianship

Wendy Williams, the renowned American Television host and media personality recently made shocking claim outlining that her son took advantage of her financial assets. According to reports, the unauthorized withdrawals from Wendy’s bank accounts in early 2022 were the key reason for her accounts getting frozen by the Wells Fargo Bank.  

This also led to several concerns that Wendy is being financially exploited and ultimately led to court ordered financial guardianship. However, the unauthorized withdrawals and the imposed guardianship hindered Williams from accessing her own finances freely. Wendy hence stated that since all of this has happened, she feels like she is in a prison as she can’t even use her own hard-earned money freely.
