Just a few days after she reportedly never leaves home, Wendy Williams was spotted in the street by TMZ. Wendy Williams spoke glowingly about her forthcoming podcast, in which she plans to have some very important guests.

According to Wendy’s manager Will Selby, the former talk show host has no interest in returning to TV. Welby is going to executive produce Wendy’s forthcoming podcast.

Williams is said to already have conversations with the Kardashians and a member of the Trump family ready to share with fans and has asked Snoop Dogg and Fat Joe to join her in the future.

Currently, Wendy and her team are trying to decide on staying independent or partnering with a platform like Spotify or Apple.

Earlier in the month, a source spoke to The Sun stating Williams doesn’t leave her house and “can’t remember anything.” The source also added Wendy “hasn’t taken any meetings to try to get back on the air” and it would be a long road to get her back on air in the future.

“She can’t remember anything, she needs a teleprompter and she needs someone there to remind her of things,” the source said. “She is sitting in her house, she isn’t taking meetings, she isn’t going out, there is no plan.”

The decade-plus run of The Wendy Williams show came to a close on June 17. Ahead of the show, Variety noted Wendy Williams would not be in attendance for the final episode. Instead, a video montage celebrating Williams played in the time slot.

Wendy Williams has not been on her show for the entire 2021-22 season due to health-related issues. Throughout the season multiple guests filled in for Wendy, including Sherri Shepherd, who is hosting the final week and will have her own show this coming Fall.

A source spoke to The Sun stating Williams doesn’t leave her house and “can’t remember anything.” The source also added Wendy “hasn’t taken any meetings to try to get back on the air” and it would be a long road to get her back on air in the future.

The decade-plus run of The Wendy Williams show came to a close this past Friday. Ahead of the show Variety noted Wendy Williams would not be in attendance for the final episode. Instead, a video montage celebrating Williams played in the time slot.

“The final original episode of ‘The Wendy Williams Show’ will air on Friday, June 17th with a video tribute to the iconic host. The series comes to an end after 13 successful years in syndication,” said a spokesperson for the show.

Previously, Williams expressed she would be returning to her show. Co-Presidents of Debmar-Mercury, the show’s creators, Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus, said they would be willing to work with the host again.

“It doesn’t mean the next day, but we will put it together and figure it out,” Bernstein said. “It’s not like we have a Plan B where we hit a button and it’s back in a week, but we do have the desire to be in business with her, if she can come back and be healthy, and so does Fox.”

Wendy Williams Reportedly Not Happy With Wells Fargo Financial Guardian

May 21, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Last week it was reported that Wendy Williams was close to settling her dispute with Wells Fargo after the courts appointed a financial guardian to oversee her accounts. Page Six is reporting that Wendy is not on board with the new arrangements.

From Page Six

Wendy Williams isn’t happy with a court appointing her a financial guardian amid her lawsuit against Wells Fargo.

An attorney for the “How You Doin’?” host told Page Six in a statement Friday that Williams doesn’t want anyone but her to have control of her money in response to the Sun’s report about a judge’s decision to appoint a guardian.

“Please be advised that Wendy is not in agreement with the appointment of a financial guardian by the court. Wendy has been very clear that she does not want a financial guardian to tell her what she can and cannot do with her money,” La’Shawn Thomas said.

Thomas added that the talk show host, 57, “feels that she is capable” of hiring her own team who would work for her “and not the court.”

Thomas went so far as to suggest that Wells Fargo may have leaked the report “in an attempt to lessen the public outcry and regulatory scrutiny mounting around” the bank.

[WATCH] Wendy Williams Reveals To Fat Joe ‘Unfortunately I Only Have $2’

May 8, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Rapper Fat Joe reunited with talk show host Wendy Williams and she revealed she only has $2.
Wendy Williams admitted during a sit-down interview with Fat Joe that while she misses being on The Wendy Williams Show, she won’t be tuning in to Sherri anytime soon.

“I wish I was there. I wish I was there right now to talk about it,” she told the rapper in an interview shared on Friday, May 6. “I’m glad I’m able to talk about when I come back, you know?”

It was announced in February that The Wendy Williams Show was being canceled and Shepherd would be taking over the beloved chat-fest’s timeslot with a talk show of her own after Williams was forced to take an extended break due to a series of health woes.

Now, the former radio DJ appears to be implying the show isn’t gone for good. When asked if she meant an entirely new series or if there were plans for her to come back to her old show, Williams didn’t hesitate.

“I’m coming to The Wendy Williams Show,” she said firmly. “Absolutely. Absolutely.”

As far as Shepherd’s new show goes, Williams just isn’t sold. She even interrupted the podcaster to shade her fellow talk show host.

“I won’t be watching her because I know what she’ll be doing and that’s not really my thing … you know what I’m saying?” she replied, quickly turning the focus back to her own plans for the future. “But I love, I love being on my own show. And I love that people love to watch it, you know, all the time.”

In fall 2022, Sherri Shepherd will officially host her own talk show. Titled Sherri, the show will replace The Wendy Williams Show. According to Variety, Williams is currently battling health-related issues. Sherri will be produced by the same company behind Wendy Williams, Debmar-Mercury of Lionsgate. During her hiatus, Shepherd has been one of many guest hosts that have rotated throughout the season. Sherri Shepherd will executive produce her new show with her producing partner, Jawn Murray. The Wendy Williams Show executive producer and showrunner, David Perler, will join Sherri.

Last week, Williams made headlines when she filed a lawsuit against Wells Fargo over claims made by a former employee who claimed Wendy Williams denied her access to “Wendy’s financial matters.”

According to the lawsuit, the bank withheld access to her “financial assets for weeks without presenting her or her counsel with an acceptable reason or evidence to support its judgment.” Wells Fargo is also accused of failing to honor her power of attorney, prompting Williams to pursue a restraining order against the bank. Williams also asked the court to “reopen any frozen accounts or assets” and provide him “access to all associated statements.” Williams also requested that the bank be barred from “freezing any and all assets including funds that have been withdrawn and/or withheld.”
