Wendy Williams Left ‘To Die,’ Former Attorney Says!

Wendy Williams‘ former lawyer says that Wells Fargo left her client without any money!

Wendy’s former lawyer, LaShawn Thomas, is claiming that Wells Fargo is keeping her client away from her money. Williams has been battling Wells Fargo in court since January after they denied her access to her money. Wendy, 58, also said that the bank froze her accounts in an effort to get her into a guardianship. LaShawn, who no longer represents Wendy in the case, told Page Six in a recent statement, “The real issue is that Wells Fargo, through their adviser, refused to grant Wendy access to her own accounts, this includes the right to check her balance.”

Thomas continued in her statement to the news outlet, “No bank should have the authority to do that. No one attempted to gain access to any of Wendy’s accounts. The Wells Fargo adviser and [former manager Bernie Young] were the only people with access… They left Wendy to die.” Wendy Williams had initially claimed that Bernie used her American Express to hire an attorney to file a petition against her. Wendy also came after her former financial advisor, Lori Schiller, who she claims has a plan with Wells Fargo to keep her away from her money through a guardianship. 

LaShawn also pointed out Williams’ financial advisor as the one who started the mess, adding, “Schiller] locked Wendy out of all of her accounts. [Schiller] restricted all access to every single account. Wendy was even restricted from going to the bank and personally withdrawing funds… Wendy, a woman who has worked hard for her wealth, was left penniless.” Thomas also said that Wendy has now been forced to use her American Express card to cater for all of her living expenses. Williams’ former lawyer also said that Wendy is getting help from her son, Kevin Jr., both mentally and physically. 

Wendy Williams’ former financial advisor has yet to respond to the allegations. However, a spokesperson for Wells Fargo denied any wrong doing in relation to Wendy Williams’ accounts. According to court documents, Wells Fargo alleged that Wendy was a victim of exploitation, dementia, or undue influence. A source close to the former TV host told The Sun that because of her situation,  Wendy has been unable to pay her staffer for months. “Her team has not been paid since these accounts were shut. Her manager is relatively new, but there are people who have been working for her this entire time and they haven’t seen a dime since the accounts were closed either.”
