Wendy Williams' Bank Insists She Needs Guardianship Amid Health Issues: 'We Are Concerned'

perezhilton.com:

Wells Fargo continues to make disconcerting claims about Wendy Williams’ health. A week after locking the daytime diva out of the millions in her account due to fears of “dementia or undue influence,” the bank has now alleged The Wendy Williams Show host is an “incapacitated person” who needs a guardianship.

On Thursday, Wells Fargo sent a letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth requesting a hearing to determine whether the media personality needs a professional to intervene in her affairs.

Attorney David Pikus wrote on behalf of the bank in the letter: Yikes. When a bank is concerned, we should probably be concerned, too, right…?

On Wednesday, Pikus argued in a separate letter sent to the judge that Wells Fargo “has strong reason to believe” Williams is a “victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.” He requested to keep the case “under seal” to “preserve the confidential nature.” Related: Wendy Says She’s ‘Doing Fabulous’ While Being Treated For
