Wendy Williams initially thought guardianship was for finances, not loss of control: source

People reports.Williams’ healthcare advocate, Ginalisa Monterroso, has alleged that Williams sought out a guardianship because she thought it would tighten up her finances, not control her life.“She wanted to make sure nobody’s in her money and she would be fine,” Monterroso told the outlet. “She kind of felt like, ‘Hey, I have the court.

They’re going to sign me a money person. I’m going to be good.’ In no way did she think that our whole life was going to be taken away from her.”A month after she was assigned a court-appointed guardian, Williams was spotted passed out at a Louis Vuitton store in NYC.The ordeal prompted her to check into a wellness facility in September 2022.“A lot of people would be like, ‘Well, I would question [the guardianship] more.

But when everything is happening so quickly and the bank is saying, ‘Somebody’s trying to take your money and there’s something going on, you’re just trying to kind of save yourself,” Monterroso said.“Why would you not trust the courts, right?

Why would the courts become your enemy?”Under a legal guardianship, Williams is now unable to decide where she lives, how to spend her money or her time, without a special permission from Morrissey.
