Wendy Williams is making waves once again, this time accusing financial advisor Lori Shiller and Wells Fargo of mishandling her finances.
In a video shared on social media, the former talk show queen delivered a scathing critique, alleging that both Shiller and the bank have failed to provide answers about her money while highlighting her ongoing legal battle over financial guardianship.
“Well, by now you know exactly who Lori Shiller is for me. Not good,” Williams said in the video. “I began to ask questions about what’s going on with my money. And she’s got no answers for me. This is very unfair.”
Williams has been under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022 following concerns over her health and financial management.
Sabrina Morrissey, the court-appointed guardian, previously described Williams as “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated” in legal filings. While Williams remains in a care facility in New York, her family resides in Florida, making her situation even more murky.
The controversy surrounding Williams’ financial management began when Wells Fargo reportedly froze her accounts in early 2022, citing concerns about her mental health.
Williams claims that Shiller and Wells Fargo took inappropriate actions by filing a guardianship petition without providing clarity on her finances.
Fans have expressed concern and rallied behind the TV icon, known for her no-holds-barred commentary. Many are questioning whether her financial independence and well-being are being prioritized in the legal dispute. Already, a group comprising her fans, family and loved ones have launched a GoFundMe campaign seeking $50,000 to challenge her court-ordered guardianship.
“Friends of the Williams Family” organized the fundraiser to cover legal expenses to free the former talk show host.
The ongoing battle has reignited discussions about guardianship laws and financial protections for public figures, raising questions about accountability and oversight in such arrangements.
Stay tuned as this developing story unfolds, with Wendy Williams determined to reclaim control of her life and finances.
