  Speaker 1: George. I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: everything and everybody. I don't know if you don't lie
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: about that, right, Lauren, Hey, y'all, what's up. It's Lauren
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the Rosa and this is the latest with Lauren the Rosa.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: This is your DELI dig on all things pop culture, entertainment,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: news and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Now today in the latest, we have Wendy Williams. Now,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you guys know I've been updating you on Wendy Williams.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We had talked a few episodes back about you know,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Wendy Williams Mother's Day and how that would be spent
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: in Prior to that, in the same week, we also
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: talked about Wendy Williams and her testing and I was
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: told at that time, this was some weeks ago, that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Wendy Williams was still undergoing testing, but it was near
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the end of the testing. And as of yesterday it
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: has been confirmed ish that Wendy Williams has allegedly completed
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: her testing. Now, the reason why I say ish is
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: because Wendy williams attorney Joe Tacopina, has come out swinging
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: back against the conversation and the stories and the update
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: provided by Wendy Williams guardian Sabrina Morsey that Wendy Williams
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: has completed her testing, and then, according to a source
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: from People Magazine, People Magazine has a source. According to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: a source, Wendy Williams has been diagnosed again with frontal
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: temporal dementia, which is what Wendy Williams was fighting hard
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: to prove that she did not have. Now, all of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: this is alleged because again Wendy Williams attorney, I talked
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: to him. I spoke with him, and he tells me
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: that is not what happened. That is not true. This
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: is not where we are. So let's back up before
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I get into what Wendy Williams attorney, Joe Tukapina told
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: me about Wendy Williams, I want to give you guys
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: just a glimpse into the story of what went down.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So reports surface that Wendy Williams had completed all of
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: her testing, neurological testing, scanned all of the things. Because
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: right now a court is trying to determine if Wendy
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: can make decisions for herself or not, if she needs
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to be in the guardianship or not in all of
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the things. Now when the reports came out, I was
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: provided with and all of the outlets were provided with
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a letter to the judge from an attorney for Sabrina Morrissey,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: who is Wendy Williams guardian and the letter stated that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Wendy Williams was done all testing, including scans you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: and including neurological testing, and that at this point, because
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of the A and E lawsuit in the time that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they would need to figure things out about that lawsuit,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the guardianship was requesting that Wendy Williams stay in her
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: guardianship until November fifth, twenty twenty five, so that were
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: asking for a three month extension. The extension is of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: a stay that the anti lawsuit already had out, basically
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because Wendy Williams said, look, I don't even want to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: be suiting these people. I didn't make the decision. I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: don't want to suit these people so any and the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: attorneys in the guardianship said, oh, okay, cool, if you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: don't want to do it, we ain't gonna force you
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: do nothing. Let's hold on this. Let's see if Wendy
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: can make her own decisions and then we'll come back
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to this now. I spoke to the attorney for the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: anti lawsuit, the attorney who is representing Sabrina Morsey and
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Windy Williams in this lawsuit, and that attorney tells me
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that because there are also reports basically stating that because
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: of the alleged testing that happened with Wendy Williams, Wendy
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Williams is indefinitely stuck in this guardianship, like you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: final decision had been made. That is not true. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: spoke to the A and E lawyer who told me
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that it's not true. The additional three months will requested
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: only because the anti lawsuit doesn't want to pick back up.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: The lawyer for the guardian says they don't want to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: move forward with anything until they figure out who they're
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: even dealing with, Like, are we going to be dealing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: with Wendy Williams in this lawsuit moving forward? If we are,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: she says she doesn't want the lawsuit, so will it
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: even go forward or will there be another guardian appointed?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Because Sabrina Morsey has already said, I don't even want
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with this no more. I need to
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: figure out, you know, what's best for her, but I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: want to step away right now. In the reports, you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: they referenced this letter that was sent to the judge
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: in the letter I received the letter. I read through
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the letter. They do make it clear and they say
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: that Wendy Williams has completed the testing. Now. I reached
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: out to Joe Takapina the minute I saw these stories
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and the minute I received the documents, I reached out
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: to Joe Checapina, which is Wendy's attorney, and I said, okay, look,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: here's what is being reported. I've been reaching up and
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: saying the contact and following up with you, trying to
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: figure out what's going on. It's been quiet on the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Wendy front, and there's been nothing now. At one point
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: there were also reports that Wendy didn't even want to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: take the testing, which I was told, you know, was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not true either. But Joe Tekapina responds to me and
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: he says reports that medical testing or any information or
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: reference in a letter that medical testing for Wendy Williams
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is completely He called it bullshit. He says the letter
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: submitted by attorneys for her guardian, stating that there are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: complete tests and that Wendy has allegedly been diagnosed again
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: with dementia are false. Now he also went off because
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: here's the so like, for instance, when Britney Spears was
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: in her conservatorship, we always had conversations around like who
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: her conservatives were, her dad, and how much money was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: being made and how much money was in spend and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: all the things. And they talked about, you know, her care,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: like where her day to day look like why she
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: needed supervision, all the things when they were fighting to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: try and keep her in it. But we never found
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: out what Britney Spears's medical condition was because a hippo
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: looss these things were supposed to be kept private, right,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: So Britney spears situation is somewhat similar to Wendy's because
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: there's a medical diagnosis needed in order to make the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: decision on whether Wendy should or should not be released
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: from the conservatorship. Now, Wendy Williams medical situation is on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Front Street because Wendy Williams came to the Breakfast Club
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and she talked about the claims that she had been
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: diagnosed with dementia and the fact that she did not
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: feel like she had it. She felt like she could
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: make decisions for herself. She shouldn't be, you know, in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the type of like living situation she's in. She calls
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: it a luxury prison and all the things. So her
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: diagnosis or lack thereof, was already on front Street because
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: she talked about herself. But in these documents they couldn't
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: mention what the medical record said. All is said was
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that they were complete. People Magazine does this story, and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: People Magazine has the information that Wendy Williams was allegedly
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: again diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia, but they don't cite
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: their source. Of course they can't because it's illegal to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: be discussing people's medical information. So her attorney is going off,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: he says, regarding the leak medical diagnoses of Wendy Williams,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: this is yet another outrageous tactic and a blatant violation
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of Wendy's fundamental rights as a human being. Let me
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: be clear, the claim is false and is being spread
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: by a party who has vested interest in keeping Wendy
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: trapped under the successive and restrictive guardianship. The critical questions
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: are these, where is the actual medical report supporting this leak,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and who is the doctor that is willing to go
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: under oath and face cross examination by me so the
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: truth can be exposed. He went off and Joe Takapina
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: ain't none to play with. Okay, he is a shark.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He is nothing to play with. Now. Look, I have
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: reached back out to the attorney listed for the Guardian,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: but for some reason they don't want to talk to us.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I found a name and a location for the attorney
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: for Tabrina Morrissey, who is Wendy Williams Guardian. So I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: looked him up online through you know, a little system
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I have was able to get his cell phone number.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I call him, I say, hey, it's one of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: roaser from the Breakfast Club. He instantly says I can't
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: talk and hangs up on me. I don't think that
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: her attorneys are too fond of the Breakfast Club platform,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: just because of, you know, the platform that we gave Wendy.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I can't say that for certain, but it feels that way.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I would love to be in contact with them though,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: because you know, when things like this happen, where you
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: have an attorney basically saying, y'all are leaking medical information.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That's a huge claim. He's alleging that, and he's saying
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: they're only spreading this because they want to make it
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: look like she still needs to be here, because they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: have an interest, they gained something off of this. ID
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: love to have a conversation with both sides of it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: So I mean I've reached out of reach out twice.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I will also try and call again and if I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: can get any more details on it, y'all know, i'd
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: be right back here in the latest with it. At
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the end of the day. There's always a lot to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: talk about and I would love to know for you
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: guys that are listening. I know you know Wendy Williams
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and everything happening with her. A lot of times when
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I see my low writers out and about y'all, that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the number one thing that you guys ask me, it's like, Hey,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: how's Wendy. I haven't spoken to Wendy personally in months
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: at this point, but I have been speaking to her
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: attorney as much as I can, just trying to figure
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: out what's going on and keep you guys up the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: date and stay up to date. But I want to
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: know what you guys think like, do you guys think
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that the reports are valid? And again there was a
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: letter submitted to the judge saying that this happened on
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: paper from the attorney for the guardianship, saying that Wendy
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: had completed those tests. Low Riders at me, be outside,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we outside, we outside, outside, every other page, Lauren la Rosa, everywhere.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Do you think the testing is or do you side
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: with Wendy's attorney Joe Takapina. You believe the allegations of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: him saying, Hey, they're doing this because they have a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: vested interest that never happened. This is all a part
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of a plan to allegedly keep Wendy into the conservative ship.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It gets tricky out here, but at the end of
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the day, there's a lot to talk about Low Riders,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: and every time you guys join me to do it,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you. Guys. I will see you in my
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: next episode.
