Wendy Williams Betrayed: Who Tipped Off Bank That She's Of 'Unsound Mind' Which Resulted To Freezing of Her Accounts?
Wendy William appears to have been duped.
Wendy's pals, who have been with her since the beginning, are said to have phoned her financial advisor to prevent her from being "robbed by leeches."
Wells Fargo responded in an unexpected way to the case filed by the 56-year-old TV figure, according to court records acquired by Radar Online.
Wendy is accusing the bank of suspending her accounts and preventing her from accessing them, as previously reported.
She stated in the complaint that she had attempted for weeks to get her money but had been unsuccessful.
Wendy Williams Betrayed?
A bank can't know what's happening behind closed doors in their client's personal life.
However, Wendy Williams believes her former financial adviser, Lori Schiller, told the bank that she was of "unsound mind" and even moved for her accounts to be frozen.
Wendy recently fired her for "malfeasance in relation to [Wendy's] accounts and" improper conduct in their professional relationship.
However, Wendy Williams, the anchor of "The Wendy Williams Show," refutes any suggestions that she is not psychologically competent.
She filed a lawsuit, requesting that Wells Fargo unfreeze her accounts and release funds so she could pay her debts.
The author says in the complaint that she is losing money on a daily basis due to her inability to collect money from the bank for her staff payroll and mortgage.
Wells Fargo Fires Back
However, the bank filed a letter in the matter and delivered it to the judge this morning, requesting a private hearing to examine the situation.
They now want Wendy Williams to appoint a guardian to take charge of her finances.
Wells Fargo decided to freeze the account not just because of the former financial advisor's claims, but also because of calls from the host's friends.
They claim, "To summarize without divulging too much on the public record, Wells Fargo has strong reason to believe that [Williams] is the victim of undue influence and financial exploitation."
"[Williams] is an established client of Wells Fargo and notably, 15 years with the particular financial advisor, a 23-year veteran of the financial services industry with an unblemished record."
They also stated that they rely on not only the financial advisor's findings, but also those who have observed evidence of exploitation, including Wendy's "own voiced apprehensions," as well as "other impartial third-parties who know [Williams] well and share same worries."
