Wendy Williams’ manager revealed to Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, that the former television host is presently receiving treatment at a wellness facility.
Will Selby, her manager, told the publication, “Wendy is at a facility doing her best to be her best. She’s taking it day by day,” Selby shared.
“And that’s another thing, too, does anybody even ask like, ‘How’s she doing? Does anyone even care… I feel like everyone just puts out negative information about her and that’s the focus. Why don’t we just stop for a moment and just say, ‘Hey, how is she? Is she doing OK today?’ Why is that not the focus? Why isn’t that what we’re talking about on a daily basis?””
Williams’ son Kevin Hunter Jr. gave an exclusive interview to The Sun on Tuesday in which he expressed concern for his mother’s health, stating that he believes she is close to death and is being exploited.
In response to these allegations, Selby questioned,“Taking advantage of her for what? To get what? To do what? I’m not here to brag but I was doing just okay before Wendy came along and I insisted on helping her because she requested my assistance,” Selby said.
“Wendy is under a guardianship. Everything that she does gets approved by the guardianship. A court-appointed guardianship. So, no one, even if they wanted to take advantage of her — everything has to get approved by that court.”
“So, any type of business dealings that we do, Wendy, myself and anyone — we have to get the guardianship to sign off on it. So how can anyone take advantage of her?”
Selby also criticised the 22-year-old for contacting a news outlet to convey his concern for his mother’s well-being. “If your mother was near death would the first thing you do is call an online publication?” he asked.
“Okay. So, that’s all I have to say about that… I usually don’t do this. I’m only speaking on behalf of my client, and I’m not trying to have a debate with Kevin. You know he’s a young man, and honestly, I feel like he’s gone through a lot. He’s probably dealing with a lot. I have a son that’s the same age as him, and sometimes you just make poor decisions, in my opinion, and I’m just speaking to my son.”
Selby continued, “I’m not here to be combative about whatever allegations he has. He’s entitled to his opinion. I’m just trying to say that us, as adults, let’s be responsible and let’s actually utilize some common sense. Someone was near death, someone like your mother. Why would you go to an online publication to discuss it with them?”
KEVIN’S CONCERN
Kevin voiced his concern over those who continue to profit from Wendy’s presence.
“What’s been made more important by the people around her is that while her health may not be great, she needs to keep on earning income, and in my opinion that should not be a priority at all.
“And whoever has been hired, they are taking advantage of someone who needs to get better.”
Kevin reported that his mother’s health has deteriorated since she resided in Florida with him from late 2021 to early 2022.
Under his care, he said he would take her to restaurants that didn’t serve alcohol and he had her exercising and eating healthier.
