Wendy Williams called into The View this morning and offered an update on her controversial guardianship and the “incapacitation” she says she’s claimed to have. “I don’t have it,” she said at the top of the interview. “How dare they say I have incapacitation. I do not.” Panelist Joy Behar agreed that Williams sounded “all right,” and Williams went on to describe her conditions in the memory care unit that she’s been living in for the past year. She told the hosts that most of the other residents were considerably older than her with worse memory issues, and claimed that she had not been allowed to have friends visit her in the facility.
Panelist Sonny Hostin then read a statement from Williams’ guardian Sabrina Morrissey and asked Williams how she was coping without being able to perform her work as a broadcaster and host. Williams didn’t exactly answer the specific question, and instead used the moment to take aim at Morrissey and her lawyer. “These two people don’t look like me, they don’t dress like me, they don’t talk like me, they don’t act like me, and I venture to say they will never be me,” she said, leaving all five hosts apparently unsure how to respond. “I need them to… get off my neck! I can’t do it with these two people again. I’m speaking of the guardian and the judge. I need a new guardian, and then I’ll get out of guardian [sic].”
