Over the weekend former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams' restrictive court ordered guardianship was exposed in the "Where is Wendy Williams" documentary on Lifetime, after it was revealed she had been placed in an inpatient rehab facility unknown to her family, by her court appointed legal guardian to treat alcohol related dementia [click here if you missed that].
Wendy's longtime best friend Regina Shell, who appeared in the documentary, claims she was visiting Wendy before she was was admitted to rehab, and that Wendy had to wait hours and hours for food to be ordered because she didn't have any access to cash to order for herself..."
From The Daily Mail
During a recent appearance on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation series, Cuomo, Regina claimed that the broadcaster had 'no access to her money' and had to ask permission from [her legal guardian] Sabrina [Morrissey] for any purchase she wanted to make - including meals.
She alleged that this sometimes meant Wendy would go hours on end without eating, which left Regina so worried that she started ordering food for her from across the country.
'When I was in New York and staying with Wendy in the summer, I noticed … she had no access to her money,' Regina shared on Monday evening.
'Every time she had to do anything that she had to pay for, she had to go through the guardian.
'And she would call to order her breakfast at 7:30 in the morning with the guardian, and she would take the order, but the order wouldn't show up until sometimes noon. So Wendy wouldn't have any food.'
Regina said that when she returned home to Los Angeles, she began sending her 'delivery service' because she was nervous that Wendy 'wasn't getting' enough to eat.
'When I went back to LA, I would have to send her food from Los Angeles to New York for delivery service, because she wasn't getting…' she trailed off.
'The communication wasn't there, and she had no other access to money than this guardian.
'That's what was concerning to me, because [Wendy] was telling me she didn't have food.
