In early 2025, Wendy Williams made a notable appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” where she was ready to share her thoughts candidly. This was significant as it was one of her first public discussions in a while, especially after being involved in a controversial conservatorship. While she covered various subjects, one key focus was on hip-hop artist Diddy, whom she’s criticized previously. Williams responded to questions about Diddy’s rumored involvement in her firing at HOT 97 by making an emphatic statement about his fate, suggesting that he deserves to serve time in prison, calling it overdue.
Williams, addressing her experience with a conservatorship, shared her strong feelings about Diddy’s situation. Her commentary resonated with many, especially since she was supposedly struggling to express herself due to her legal and health challenges. However, her remarks seemed to indicate otherwise, as she appeared articulate and clear during the interview.
Wendy Williams speaks out against her conservatorship
While her remarks about Diddy capped off a fiery exchange on the podcast, Williams also took the opportunity to advocate for her release from the conservatorship she feels has unfairly restricted her. After dealing with health issues, she was placed under guardianship in 2022, with claims of dementia and aphasia being presented by her management. Nevertheless, during her appearance, she asserted her cognitive abilities, insisting she does not feel impaired and likening her situation to being imprisoned.
Her niece Alex echoed these sentiments, revealing that Williams lives under harsh conditions, lacking phone access and confined to a bleak room. Despite past statements indicating she might struggle with communication, Williams is now pushing to be heard, seeking to end her restrictive conservatorship and gain the freedom she deserves.
