Roger Friedman, how you doing?

I'm pretty good. How are you this morning?

I'm good. Hey, what's the deal with our friend Wendy Williams?

You know, she's in a lot of trouble. She's been diagnosed with dementia and aphasia,

and she's been appointed a court guardian and the guardian has now moved against

Wendy's family and Lifetime TV because Lifetime is going to show a two-part documentary this

weekend and the Guardian is trying to stop it and I don't blame the Guardian because the family seems to have really exploited poor Wendy.

And I see people online saying, well, Wendy was so gossipy.

She deserves this.

She doesn't deserve it.

And the clips that they've been showing on TV of the situation she's in now, this is brutal, and it's just unfair that Wendy Williams is being treated this way by, you know, her family.

So it's a big mess, and, you know, she's not going to get any better. This is the same illness that Bruce Wallace has. And at least his family has really taken care to protect him. And her family seems to just be using her to make money. Yeah, I haven't seen her in a while. The last time I saw her was that, maybe it's a year and a half, two years ago. Was it two years ago? Having dinner with her and she was like just ranting and ran kind of falling apart and where was the family then why didn't somebody

she didn't have a relationship with the family then um and uh you know it's more than even two years

ago where she was she said she was living in a sober house and she was still doing her TV

show and nobody sort of you know now the family's blaming her dementia on alcohol but it's

ridiculous this was something that was obviously there for a long time it was undiagnosed and now she's sort of being hidden from the family by the guardian.

The family doesn't even know how to get in touch with her.
