Wendy Williams seeks to end her guardianship, echoing Britney Spears’ past struggles for independence
New York: Wendy Williams is making headlines again. She recently opened up about her guardianship, and it sounds a lot like what Britney Spears went through. Both women feel trapped and have shared their experiences of being put in mental health facilities against their will.
During a chat on “The Breakfast Club,” Wendy said she feels like she’s in prison. She’s been in a wellness center since 2023 and described her life there as isolating. She mentioned that she doesn’t connect with the other residents and spends her time watching TV and listening to the radio.
Britney, on the other hand, talked about her own struggles in a California facility back in 2019. She shared how hard it was to juggle work and family while being forced to meet strict schedules. Both women have expressed feeling like they have no control over their lives.
Wendy revealed that she doesn’t have access to a phone or computer, making it tough to reach out to her family. Britney faced similar issues, having her phone and money taken away during her conservatorship. It’s heartbreaking to hear them both say they feel trapped.
They’ve both labeled their situations as abusive. Britney even compared her forced work to being a victim of sex trafficking, which is a powerful statement. Wendy broke down during her interview, saying her life is “f–ked up,” and it’s clear she’s struggling.
Wendy’s financial situation is also dire. She mentioned having just $15 after her bank froze her accounts, while Britney had to get permission from her dad for even small purchases. It’s frustrating to see how they’re both fighting for their independence.
While Britney was freed from her conservatorship in 2021, Wendy is still in treatment. She insists she’s not cognitively impaired and is determined to fight the system that has kept her from living freely. It’s a tough battle, but both women are showing incredible strength.
