On The Town with Tanya guest could not make it but we wanted to chat about where is Wendy Williams and why is her family NOT in charge of her conservatorship? Who appointed those in charge and why can she not see family? Her cats sold without permission from family? Why is she alone 24/7 with a room and window, no outside activities?

Dementia patients family should be able to make all the calls. Something is fishy with these lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, and Sabrina Morrissey "allegedly"

advice: do not watch any old Wendy Williams shows, they are keeping the money, her family is not benefitting from all of HER hard work!

No one added value to "gossip" like Wendy...young girls knew NOT to have no babies til you get the career and then the ring! Wendy made it make sense for young people and she always kept it classy. I am not a fan of botox but she always looked on point and lead us all on being fearless. We love you Wendy WIlliams #freewendywilliams (use the #) and sign the petition at - lets get Wendys family in charge not some strange lawyers who only want her money and royalties it appears!
