friends Wendy WilliamsHer family is seeking contributions from her fans to help expedite her return to her “rightful home in Florida.”

The fundraiser has a target amount of $50,000 and was set up before Williams’ explosive revelations on Thursday.

The beloved TV personality said she felt like a prisoner in her custody, adding that she was not “cognitively impaired” as reported in the media.

Friends of the Williams family organized the fundraiser that aims to raise $50,000. As of this post, $8,954 has been raised from 377 contributions.

The fundraiser description says: “A GoFundMe fundraiser is being urgently organized to help Wendy Williams’ family expedite her return to her rightful home in Florida.”

He continues: “For too long, Wendy has faced the challenges of being unfairly placed in guardianship and labeled as helpless, despite her strong will and determination to live her life independently.”

Williams’ current situation has been described as “unfair” and “extremely isolating”, while her conservator has allegedly “severed her relationships with friends and family, leaving her without the support network she desperately needs”.

Williams’ isolation in New York “made it increasingly difficult for her to maintain her strength and resilience,” according to the fundraiser.

The concluding portion of the fundraising report stressed that Williams’ family “strongly advocates for her return to Florida where she can once again be surrounded by the love and support of those who care about her.”

She claimed that Williams’ family is “suffering emotionally” and is witnessing the impact of her isolation “on her health”.

However, the former TV presenter’s family has “exhausted their financial resources” in their battle against her “unfair guardianship”.

They are therefore “in urgent need of assistance to secure legal representation.”

“Legal services can be obscenely expensive, and without our support, they may find it difficult to navigate the complexities of the situation,” the fundraiser description concluded.

The former talk show host denied Her guardian’s request She couldn’t reason for herself.

Williams He said“I’m not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison. I’m in this place where people are in their 90s, 80s, 70s… There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.”

Williams’ niece, Alex, who joined the call, also shared more details about her living conditions at the New York care center where she currently resides.

Alex revealed that her aunt stayed in a small, empty room. She claimed that the room had only one window which did not allow enough sunlight.

Williams described her conservatorship experience as “emotional abuse” and broke down in tears while discussing the possibility of not attending her father’s 94th birthday.

She explained that her ability to attend the ceremony depended on her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, whom she described as “that person you’re talking about who’s holding me hostage.”

“I’m exhausted thinking about what if I don’t get to see my dad on his birthday,” Williams lamented. “At 94 years old, the day after that is no longer a promise. My life has become hell.”

She also noted that she only had $15 to her name before also revealing that her cherished cats, which have been with her since moving to New York City following her divorce, had been “sold” without her consent.

During the interview, Williams revealed that she has one-way phone access, meaning she can call her family and friends but cannot receive calls from them.

Williams also claimed that her conservator had complete control of her life, including her movements and money.

Given Williams’ revelations about her living conditions at the New York facility, her niece said it would be dangerous for her to remain under conservatorship.
