Wendy Williams blasts Wells Fargo for FREEZING her account: 'I want to see all my money'
Wendy Williams says she is back to good health and feels 'ready' to get back to her TV show. Just less than a month ago, the celebrated host was replaced by her friend Sherri Shepherd on her show owing to her prolonged health battles.
Things went south for the iconic host when her bank, Wells Fargo, claimed that Williams 'is an incapacitated person' suffering from 'undue influence and financial exploitation'. Wendy appeared on Good Morning America on March 17 via telephone to clear things on her health and her financial situation.

Allegedly, Williams declined to appear on camera. She spoke to the correspondent TJ Holmes over a phone call. Asked if her bank was questioning her stability, the 57-year old entertainer replied, "Absolutely!" Williams continued, "When people want control of their accounts, they say anything, including something crazy like that about me."
Putting her side of the story forward, she said, "They say that I need somebody to handle my account and I don't want that. I want all my money. I want to see all my money that I've worked hard for my entire life."
Williams continued to say, "I don't lie, I don't cheat and I don't steal. I am an honest, hard working person." She also explained how these circumstances resulted in her bank accounts being frozen and she could not pay her bills for almost two months.
The OG host has been missing from her iconic purple chair since July 2021. She said, "This is what I would love to say to my Wendy watchers. Keep watching because I'm going to be back on the Wendy show bigger and brighter than ever."
The Wendy Williams Show airs on Fox-owned stations and was anticipated to return in September for season 13. Williams' return was postponed first and then it was cancelled for the entire season. Her team said the host was experiencing some serious complications due to her Graves' disease and thyroid.
As explained by the Mayo Clinic, Graves' disease is an immune system disorder that results in hyperthyroidism. The disease often results in irritability, fatigue, weight loss, rapid heartbeat and bulging eyes.
Ever since her break, Williams has been seen just once in public while she was being led into her apartment in New York City. She was wearing hospital socks and was in a wheelchair.
However, on Thursday, March 17, she made it perfectly clear that there was nothing to worry about. She concluded, "Health is very well. And I've actually had a few appointments. You know, I'm 57 now and I have the mind and body of a 25-year-old."
