Wendy Williams has been dealing with health struggles for the last couple of years, relying on caretakers to manage her everyday life, but she's not too happy with how they handled their job during a recent night out.
The 60-year-old former TV personality was recently captured on video showing clear dissatisfaction with her caretakers after a mix-up with her car and motorized scooter while leaving a restaurant in Miami. The video, captured by the We In Miami Podcast, was posted on Instagram on Wednesday, December 25, and shows Williams outside a restaurant looking visibly upset.
The video begins with a clip of the former talk show host reprimanding her caretakers for leaving her scooter unattended. "Both of you walked away leaving my s**t unattended in the middle of the street like this," she yelled at her employees. The frustrated star then asked them to retrieve her car and make sure it was the right one.
Stunt Lifestyle, the host of the podcast, approached Williams and asked her what was wrong, at which point she vented her frustrations to the camera.
"They got the wrong car," she explained before adding, "I knocked on the door, and it was totally the wrong car." She also noted that the caretakers had walked away, "leaving her most precious" possession unattended. "This cost a f***ing mint, motherf***er," a seemingly irritated Williams told the host.
Later in the video, the former host of The Wendy Williams Show is seen talking to her 24-year-old son Kevin Hunter Jr., still upset about her caretakers, and says to the camera, "They wanna work for me? That's what they're doing. They're making money from me? Get the Godd**n car!"
Fans of the beloved talk show host took to the comments section of the video to share their thoughts on the altercation captured on camera.
"For those judging, she is absolutely right! If I am paying you and you get me into the wrong car, you better believe I'll be pissed!!!," wrote one fan in Williams' defense, while a second noted, "Welp, she's in her right mind that's for sure! I love Wendy ." A third simply wrote, "We miss you, Wendy ."
Williams was reportedly visiting Miami from New York for her son's college graduation when the altercation took place. The trip and public appearance come after the star's bank, Wells Fargo, froze her bank accounts and filed a petition for a financial guardianship over her in 2022. The bank argued that Williams was of "unsound mind." Shortly after, Sabrina E. Morrisey, a New York City estate administration lawyer, was appointed to be Williams' guardian and deemed that she was "permanently incapacitated" due to her dementia.
Williams has since been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023.
