AceShowbiz - Wendy Williams is still fighting for control of her money. According to her attorney, LaShawn Thomas, the former host of "The Wendy Williams Show" is quite "concerned" about the matter but she's in a "good spirit."
LaShawn told E! News on Wednesday, April 13, "She's concerned that this issue has been dragging out for a significant amount of time." The lawyer went on to add, "We certainly did not think that considering the length of the relationship that she's had with Wells Fargo, that they would draw this out to the extent that they have."
The attorney also added that Wendy is currently "in a good spirits" amid the legal battle. Though so, she said that the 57-year-old daytime diva's assets "are now currently locked up in this proceeding."
LaShawn also noted that while Wendy is "able to pay for food and things like that" in her daily life, her client still cannot "log into her online accounts and see what's going on with her assets," including "what items have been deducted from her accounts." The lawyer claimed, "Wells Fargo has ensured that this case stayed out of the media," before adding, "I think that Wendy wants her fans to that keep up the pressure to keep asking the hard questions."
Earlier this week, Wendy seemingly declared that she's "ready" for court. Making use of her Instagram account, the TV hostess shared a photo of her looking happy and healthy. In the snapshot, she could be seen wearing a leopard-print coat while holding her Louis Vuitton purse. She simply captioned her post, "Ready," adding a smiling face emoji.
Last month, during an interview with "Good Morning America", Wendy denied claims that she's "the victim of undue influence and financial exploitation" made by Wells Fargo. At the time, she insisted that she's "of sound mind" and well enough to manage her own money.
"Well, you know, when people want control of their accounts, they say anything, including something crazy like that about me," she told T.J. Holmes. She added, "They say that I need somebody to handle my account, and I don't want that."
"I want all my money. I want to see all my money that I've worked hard for my entire life. My entire life," the TV personality further stressed. "I don't lie, I don't cheat and I don't steal. I am an honest, hard-working person. I want to spend more time with my family and, you know, working out and waiting for the responses to my money situation and Wells Fargo. And they don't like that."
Wendy, who missed the entire season of her now-canceled talk show "The Wendy Williams Show" due to health issues, later assured viewers that she's doing okay. "[My] health is very well, and I've actually had a few appointments. You know, I'm 57 now, and I have the mind and body of a 25-year-old," she pointed out. "I'm very comfortable [with returning to work]. You know, my partners with the show, everybody's ready."
