Is Wendy Williams being "left to die"?

That's what Wendy's former lawyer LaShawn Thomas is stating after Wendy's ex-financial adviser Lori Schiller and former manager Bernie Young were reportedly involved in Wendy's lawsuit against Wells Fargo after the bank froze her accounts due to worries about financial exploitation.

Lori, who is still embroiled in the lawsuit despite no longer working for the former host of "The Wendy Williams Show," is reportedly trying to "muddy the waters" by allegedly supporting a false report against Wendy's son, Kevin Hunter Jr., who allegedly used his mother's American Express credit card, prompting the bank to freeze her accounts.

Wendy insisted on access to her accounts, claiming that this was not the case.

In a New York courthouse, the legal struggle is still underway.

The true issue, LaShawn said Page Six, is that the bank, their adviser, refused to provide Wendy Williams access to her accounts, including the ability to check her balance.

"No bank should be given that authority. Nobody attempted to break into any of Wendy's accounts."

She went on to bemoan the fact that the bank's adviser and Bernie Young were the only individuals who had access, claiming that "they left Wendy to die."

Wendy Williams' son Kevin Jr. stepped in to aid his mother "mentally and physically" with the support of multiple physicians while Wendy Williams battled several health difficulties, according to the lawyer.

Kevin Jr. "absolutely loves" his mother, according to LaShawn, and "no one should throw any guilt or any charges of wrongdoing at his feet."

An insider revealed the truth about Kevin Hunter Jr. using his mother's credit card, which had over $100,000 in outstanding bills, with LaShawn also pointing out that Lori and Bernie were the only individuals who could access Wendy's bank accounts.

The lawyer said, "Lori was in charge of paying Wendy's and Kevin Jr.'s expenses. Kevin has always approached Lori to pay his expenses."

"If someone required money (Wendy or Kevin), they had to call Lori so she could start payment."

Wendy Williams' conservatorship, which she is presently under, was triggered by her client's desire to buy a property in Miami for her son, according to LaShawn Thomas.

Wendy allegedly requested her lawyer to hash out the terms of the real estate transaction because she promised to assist them save commission costs.

However, shortly before Kevin Jr. was due to move in, he received a call from the landlord. He never got an offer, and the price had risen dramatically.

Lori allegedly told Kevin Jr. that she couldn't talk with him without Wendy's written permission since verbal authorization was "no longer sufficient."

Wendy, LaShawn, and Kevin Jr. proceeded to a nearby Wells Fargo branch to present a formal authorization and power of attorney, but they "refused to accept it."

Lori told Wendy she would only speak to her if she was alone when the bank manager phoned her to assist with the matter.

"Instead, Lori barred Wendy from accessing any of her accounts," LaShawn explained.

"Lori blocked access to each and every account. Wendy was even barred from going to the bank and withdrawing money herself."
