- 0:50Speaker 4: and you know, I mean, I'm exhausted, you know what
- 0:53Speaker 4: I'm saying. I am exhausted, and I wanted to go
- 0:58Speaker 4: to the hospital to talk to the doctor. You know
- 1:02Speaker 4: at Jina you can found upon that please.
- 1:06Speaker 5: So we were actually trying to figure out how to
- 1:10Speaker 5: kind of break through and get some kind of motion
- 1:15Speaker 5: into this case, because we were pretty stuck at one
- 1:17Speaker 5: point waiting for the lawyers to get through and get
- 1:22Speaker 5: some type of trial. So I did two things. I
- 1:26Speaker 5: wrote a letter to the Adult Protective Services explains to
- 1:30Speaker 5: them Wendy's situation. She was isolated and we needed an investigation.
- 1:37Speaker 5: Yesterday morning during our morning cause, I told Wendy, we
- 1:41Speaker 5: will be calling the police and we will be speaking
- 1:46Speaker 5: to police and we'll be telling them that you are isolated.
- 1:49Speaker 4: Listen, and we need to help. So two police showed up,
- 1:53Speaker 4: you know where I was, you know, at the coterie,
- 1:57Speaker 4: and so I would tell them, you know the same,
- 2:02Speaker 4: and the next thing you know, there are two more police.
- 2:05Speaker 4: So they're four in total. And I was talking with Gina,
- 2:09Speaker 4: you know, and saying go ahead, Gina, yep.
- 2:11Speaker 5: And the police came into the room. Wendy gave the
- 2:15Speaker 5: phone and I pleaded with the police as if Wendy
- 2:19Speaker 5: was my child, please you need to get her off
- 2:22Speaker 5: this floor and she's confined.
- 2:25Speaker 4: And I told them I am not incapacitated, you know,
- 2:29Speaker 4: as I've been accused. And this floor that I live
- 2:32Speaker 4: on is the memory unit. The people who live there
- 2:36Speaker 4: don't remember anything unlike me, Like why am I here?
- 2:40Speaker 4: What is going on? It's a cry for help, you
- 2:42Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. Charlamagne, you know I talked to
- 2:46Speaker 4: you often and a lot, and Gina, go ahead and
- 2:49Speaker 4: talk please.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Now, Gina, let me ask you a question.
- 2:51Speaker 2: That there was something yesterday that said that Wendy dropped
- 2:54Speaker 2: a note out the window and that's how the police
- 2:56Speaker 2: were called.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Is that true? Be true to that?
- 2:58Speaker 5: No, that's so funny. Wendy's talking to me on the
- 3:01Speaker 5: phone and she's like, Gina, there's a photographer downstairs. What
- 3:04Speaker 5: do I do?
- 3:05Speaker 4: Yep?
- 3:06Speaker 5: And I'm like, she said, should I write them something?
- 3:08Speaker 4: And I'm like, yes, right. Let me tell you. This
- 3:11Speaker 4: happened early in the morning. And it just so happens,
- 3:14Speaker 4: you know, because all I have I have a window,
- 3:17Speaker 4: a bathroom and a bedroom. Theater to say. So, I'm
- 3:20Speaker 4: looking at the window and I see somebody say hi.
- 3:22Speaker 4: So I'm like hi back, and I get on the
- 3:24Speaker 4: phone and I'm talking with Gina, you know, and my niece,
- 3:28Speaker 4: and I asked them this that and the third go ahead, Gina, Yes.
- 3:33Speaker 5: The note had nothing to do with it. We Wendy
- 3:35Speaker 5: and I actually called the police directly and come get
- 3:39Speaker 5: the police to come over to do a welfare.
- 3:43Speaker 6: Check and yes, no, go ahead, finish.
- 3:48Speaker 5: And just insisted and pleaded with the officer on the
- 3:50Speaker 5: phone that you have to get Wendy out of here.
- 3:53Speaker 5: We have a guardian who is telling the whole building
- 3:57Speaker 5: and the world that she's incapacitated and she needs to
- 4:00Speaker 5: be on a locked unit. And I said, please, I said,
- 4:05Speaker 5: you cannot walk out of that building without Wendy. And
- 4:08Speaker 5: she she told me, I promise, I will not.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I was shocked to see Wendy walking yesterday, That's what
- 4:13Speaker 3: I was telling.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yeah, we seeing them for Dema Feat. I was like,
- 4:18Speaker 1: I cannot believe.
- 4:19Speaker 4: Look, let me tell you something. So the cops. The
- 4:22Speaker 4: cops say to me, you know what I'm saying. They say, Wendy,
- 4:24Speaker 4: you know you have to leave the scooter. I said, okay,
- 4:27Speaker 4: but just walk with me, okay, And so they walked
- 4:29Speaker 4: with me. So it was like exercise for my feet.
- 4:32Speaker 4: Go ahead, Gina.
- 4:33Speaker 5: Yeah. And so when the officers were there, Wendy started
- 4:39Speaker 5: to feel she had a little bit of anxiety. And
- 4:42Speaker 5: I said, tell them that you need to go to
- 4:44Speaker 5: the hospital. And I said, when you go to the hospital,
- 4:47Speaker 5: you're going to ask for an independent medical evaluation. Yes,
- 4:52Speaker 5: but the building was giving us a hard time. They
- 4:55Speaker 5: first sent a nurse and they're like, oh, Wendy, we'll
- 4:58Speaker 5: take care of it. I'll take your vital and I said.
- 5:00Speaker 4: No, thank you, no, thank you.
- 5:02Speaker 5: And I'm on the phone and I'm like, no, we
- 5:04Speaker 5: need a medical doctor, right. The nurse says, oh, we
- 5:08Speaker 5: have a doctor in the building.
- 5:10Speaker 4: No, I want an independent doctor.
- 5:13Speaker 5: I'm no doctor. Yeah. I said, no, she needs to
- 5:15Speaker 5: get out. We need to go to a hospital that's
- 5:18Speaker 5: not a hospital, right. We need to get her out
- 5:21Speaker 5: of there, and she needs to be seen by medical
- 5:23Speaker 5: outside of this facility. And then finally the cops were
- 5:26Speaker 5: okay with that, and then the ambulance and Wendy was
- 5:29Speaker 5: okay as well, and they called the ambulance.
- 5:32Speaker 2: So just clear it up, just to clear it up.
- 5:34Speaker 2: So they didn't want her to leave. They tried to
- 5:35Speaker 2: do everything.
- 5:38Speaker 4: Listen, listen, And then I was on the phone. I
- 5:40Speaker 4: was on the phone with Gina, and then I'm on
- 5:42Speaker 4: the phone with my lawyer. You know what I'm saying.
- 5:45Speaker 4: My lawyer was like, oh, okay, and I'm going to
- 5:47Speaker 4: meet you at the hospital.
- 5:49Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I'm surprised, Brina. More is he didn't come and jump
- 5:53Speaker 3: on the ambulance.
- 5:54Speaker 4: No, please, My lawyer forgot to was on it.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah she did. I actually called her, told her
- 6:06Speaker 5: that Wendy was going to be admitted into the hospital,
- 6:11Speaker 5: and she drove from Long Island to the hospital and
- 6:14Speaker 5: she actually stood by Wendy's side because I said, you
- 6:16Speaker 5: have to be there and you have to tell the
- 6:19Speaker 5: doctors that Wendy's being held captive and the world thinks
- 6:23Speaker 5: that she's incapacitated and they need to do an independent
- 6:27Speaker 5: exam because the issue here was that Wendy has a guardian,
- 6:31Speaker 5: so that garden is in charge of medical decisions as well.
- 6:35Speaker 4: And I told her, by the way at the hospital,
- 6:38Speaker 4: they tell me that my guardian was right here, you know,
- 6:43Speaker 4: on the other side of it, right here, and never
- 6:46Speaker 4: said hi. And my lawyer could attest to that.
- 6:50Speaker 5: It was.
- 6:52Speaker 4: The guardian person in the hospital, yes, and never said
- 6:58Speaker 4: anything to me at all.
- 6:59Speaker 1: She was at the hospital yesterday, yes.
- 7:02Speaker 4: Yes, yesterday, yesterday morning, yes, yesterday, in the afternoon. I yeah,
- 7:09Speaker 4: she was here.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Did she never say anything to you?
- 7:11Speaker 6: You know?
- 7:11Speaker 4: She did?
- 7:12Speaker 6: You see the read Divinity Fair article. I don't know
- 7:14Speaker 6: how you would have read it, though, Indy, But she
- 7:16Speaker 6: said that you guys have a really good Oh hey, Wendy.
- 7:18Speaker 6: She said that you guys have a really great relationship
- 7:20Speaker 6: and that you guys like it's very friendly when you
- 7:22Speaker 6: see each other, and that happens often. But she was
- 7:25Speaker 6: at the hospital yesterday. I didn't say anything to you.
- 7:27Speaker 4: Please please, please, she because she's lying about the Vanity Fair.
- 7:34Speaker 1: What do you mean she's lying in Vanity Fair?
- 7:36Speaker 4: You mean, yes, about about what was being said, according
- 7:40Speaker 4: to what she was saying, and that she was there
- 7:42Speaker 4: with Anyway, the point is is that then where I am,
- 7:47Speaker 4: you know, at that at that coterie right now, there
- 7:50Speaker 4: is another person right there, Like if I opened the door,
- 7:54Speaker 4: there's a person from the coterie. Wow, it's ridiculous, it's reads.
- 8:00Speaker 4: It's very sad. You know what I'm saying.
- 8:03Speaker 2: Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking to Wendy
- 8:04Speaker 2: Williams and Gina is also on the line.
- 8:07Speaker 1: She's the president of connect Care Advisory Group.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Now, tell us what happened when you got to the hospital,
- 8:12Speaker 2: because there were claims that they did a test and
- 8:14Speaker 2: she got ten out of ten on the test. So
- 8:15Speaker 2: what happened when she actually got to the hospital.
- 8:19Speaker 4: Well, when I got to the hospital, you know, immediately
- 8:22Speaker 4: you know, and they're saying, you know, I get checked
- 8:24Speaker 4: in right, and then you know, they checked me for
- 8:28Speaker 4: the heart palpitations and they did all kinds of scans
- 8:34Speaker 4: and Gina, can you expound upon yes.
- 8:39Speaker 5: So she arrived at the hospital and the attorney convinced
- 8:44Speaker 5: the doctors. So according to what was told, the guardian
- 8:47Speaker 5: was there and went eat attorney, and I think there
- 8:50Speaker 5: was a little back and forth as whether she was
- 8:53Speaker 5: going to allow one dy the guardian to get evaluated.
- 8:57Speaker 5: The doctor saw there was a difference between the guardian's
- 9:02Speaker 5: opinion and her lord's opinion, and the doctor had to
- 9:05Speaker 5: go to his legal department from the hospital to clear
- 9:11Speaker 5: to see how he was going to do it. He
- 9:12Speaker 5: received the clearance for the evaluation, and then Wendy took
- 9:16Speaker 5: two evaluations and pretty much they're they're evaluating whether she
- 9:22Speaker 5: has competency and is able to make decisions. And she
- 9:26Speaker 5: passed both tests.
- 9:27Speaker 1: What does mean? I'm sorry, what does it mean?
- 9:34Speaker 5: Ten out of ten correct, ten questions asked, ten questions
- 9:37Speaker 5: correct answered correctly.
- 9:39Speaker 4: I mean they asked, they asked me simple things like
- 9:43Speaker 4: like you know, who's the president? Theodo? What I'm saying?
- 9:47Speaker 4: What's my birth date? That's like anyway, yeah.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Who would you tell him? The president was?
- 9:53Speaker 4: Oh? Please? Who was on the show?
- 10:02Speaker 6: And also beyond I have a question for you guys too.
- 10:06Speaker 6: So there are reports that this this exam that you
- 10:09Speaker 6: did can't be used in moving forward to prove the
- 10:13Speaker 6: like that you're not incapacitated. Can you clear that up
- 10:15Speaker 6: or like explain like I don't know if I if
- 10:17Speaker 6: I missed that part, like how that can how this
- 10:19Speaker 6: will be.
- 10:20Speaker 5: Used that's actually false? That's that's a medical exam done
- 10:25Speaker 5: by an independent doctor by a very well known hospital.
- 10:29Speaker 5: You can use that for the court. I don't know
- 10:33Speaker 5: who said that.
- 10:34Speaker 1: What's the next steps? Gina and Wendy?
- 10:37Speaker 4: Can I tell you something? Can I? Can I tell
- 10:38Speaker 4: you something? The guardian, my lawyer was going to come
- 10:45Speaker 4: to the hospital to see me, right, and the guardian,
- 10:49Speaker 4: from what I understand, gave my lawyer the wrong address. Wow,
- 10:55Speaker 4: it just well, it just so happens that I know
- 10:58Speaker 4: what hospital I'm in. So when I was talking to
- 11:00Speaker 4: my lawyer, she said, are you sure? And I said yes,
- 11:05Speaker 4: Why do you say that?
- 11:06Speaker 3: And yeah, because everybody thinks you're incapacitated, so they don't
- 11:10Speaker 3: think they know where you're at.
- 11:11Speaker 1: Correct, they don't.
- 11:11Speaker 4: Think you know what I'm saying, trying to keep me hiding,
- 11:14Speaker 4: hiding so that so that they can keep it so
- 11:18Speaker 4: that everybody thinks.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You know, when are you gonna be on the Are
- 11:22Speaker 1: you really going to call into the View this Friday?
- 11:25Speaker 4: Excuse me, Gina, we are.
- 11:30Speaker 5: Calling in and having a talk with the wonderful ladies
- 11:34Speaker 5: on the View.
- 11:34Speaker 1: What time is that going to be?
- 11:35Speaker 3: I don't want Wendy calling nobody, uh before at seven am?
- 11:39Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Okay, it comes on at eleven am.
- 11:43Speaker 4: You my friend, woo the Goldberg. I've been to the
- 11:47Speaker 4: View several times in life. See it's nice. I enjoy
- 11:50Speaker 4: the View.
- 11:52Speaker 1: Wendy just woke up, by the way. I just want
- 11:54Speaker 1: y'all to know that. Okay, hn't even brush your teeth.
- 11:56Speaker 6: They also said, it been any fair that the only
- 11:58Speaker 6: way that you're able to talk in these interviews is
- 12:00Speaker 6: because it's scripted. But you don't even you don't know
- 12:02Speaker 6: any of the stuff that we were asking you today.
- 12:04Speaker 4: So well, well, you know what do you want to know?
- 12:06Speaker 4: What my my my guardian person says that I don't
- 12:10Speaker 4: know how to talk, that everything's scripted, which is untrue.
- 12:13Speaker 4: You know what. The same person who says I'm in
- 12:19Speaker 4: which I am not. Excuse me. These are the same
- 12:23Speaker 4: people who say, you know, if you say something too much,
- 12:26Speaker 4: then I am too like scripted or whatever. It's like
- 12:30Speaker 4: saying whatever. Like who doesn't say whatever, I'm sorry, I
- 12:33Speaker 4: say whatever.
- 12:34Speaker 5: It's all I call it all Jedi mind game. She
- 12:39Speaker 5: really just wanted the world to believe that Wendy was incapacitated.
- 12:43Speaker 5: She had her locked up, she gave her a phone
- 12:47Speaker 5: where she can't receive calls, and her big mistake was
- 12:50Speaker 5: that she didn't realize who Wendy Williams was. And she
- 12:54Speaker 5: has a platform like Breakfast Club, and she's very well connected,
- 12:57Speaker 5: and there are people who will back her up.
- 13:00Speaker 4: And I have to tell you, and I have to

- 14:09Speaker 5: going to go back to the luxury prison.
- 14:12Speaker 4: But can I tell you something? Can I tell you something? Though?

- 17:14Speaker 5: that will be handling in the case. There's a couple
- 17:17Speaker 5: of options I paid out for any pages should come
- 17:19Speaker 5: in here and even coming to the court and make
