Speaker 1: This is the Latest with.
Speaker 3: Laura La Rosa, and I'm the homegirl that knows a
Speaker 3: little bit about everything and everybody. And today I am
Speaker 3: bringing you guys an exclusive and this is our first
Speaker 3: exclusive on the podcast. Yeah you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: cause like it's real, We are bringing the first exclusive here.
Speaker 3: So there's been a lot of conversation around, uh, Wendy Williams. Uh.
Speaker 3: There was a ton of conversation around Wendy and if
Speaker 3: she would be within the last couple of weeks, if
Speaker 3: she would be taking a new capacity test or a
Speaker 3: cognitive test. Now I broke the exclusive that Wendy after
Speaker 3: being transported to a hospital here in New York from
Speaker 3: where she stays at which is the codie. It's like
Speaker 3: a she calls it a luxury Wendy calls it a
Speaker 3: luxury prison, but it's like a it's like an elder
Speaker 3: living space where she is on lockdown.
Speaker 1: The floor that she is on lockdown. So when she
Speaker 1: was taken to the.
Speaker 3: Hospital, she did a cognitive test where they asked her
Speaker 3: things like who's the president today, what day to week
Speaker 3: is it?
Speaker 1: What's your name?
Speaker 3: Those type of things, and make sure that things are
Speaker 3: just tracking for you and an exclusive that I broke.
Speaker 3: Then I told you guys that Wendy actually had passed
Speaker 3: that ten out of ten, So ten questions asked, ten
Speaker 3: questions answered, ten questions asked, ten questions answered, and passed right,
Speaker 3: and we released that story. Now, from what I'm being told,
Speaker 3: you know, there's a not even what I'm being told
Speaker 3: from what I've been reporting. The conservator, Sabrina Morrissey and
Speaker 3: the judge who was over top of Wendy Williams conservatorship
Speaker 3: have you know, sat down and had a conversation and said, look,
Speaker 3: if Wendy is as miserable as she's saying, if she
Speaker 3: is as capable of making these decisions on her own
Speaker 3: as she is claiming we want to make sure that
Speaker 3: we honor that. According to the judge and according to
Speaker 3: the conservator, now Wendy doesn't feel like that. Wendy feels
Speaker 3: like she's being taken advantage of right now. You know,
Speaker 3: she's had some pretty like stark, harsh claims and that's
Speaker 3: why judges like, uh uh uh uh, come back, comes
Speaker 3: to at this table, let's have this conversation, let's figure
Speaker 3: it out. And having that conversation, the judge determined that
Speaker 3: it was necessary for Wendy to take another cognitive testing
Speaker 3: or a capacity test or a test for you know,
Speaker 3: how well is she able to make decisions, but also
Speaker 3: testing to determine whether there's a frontal temple dementia or not.
Speaker 3: This was also suggested by before judge said yeah, we
Speaker 3: should do this. Sabrina Morrissey, who is currently Wendy Williams conservator,
Speaker 3: had actually wrote a letter to the judge saying, look,
Speaker 3: I'm being dragged through the mud. She's claiming things that
Speaker 3: you know, it's not happening, how she's claiming it. I
Speaker 3: propose that we paused the any lawsuit in relationship to
Speaker 3: the doc that Wendy Williams had on lifetime and we
Speaker 3: get another test, like, let's just you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Let's take this test. Let's get it out of here.
Speaker 3: Take the test. Does she have the frontal temporal dementia
Speaker 3: or not? Can she make her own decisions or not?
Speaker 3: If she doesn't have it, If she's deemed that she
Speaker 3: can make her own decisions, we'll step.
Speaker 1: Out of her way.
Speaker 3: Of course, Wendy will have assistance from the court, but
Speaker 3: she can appoint new attorneys, a new conservator, all of
Speaker 3: that stuff, right. So then Sabrina came out and she
Speaker 3: gave quotes to various outlets and she said that Wendy
Speaker 3: Williams denied.
Speaker 1: Taking that test.
Speaker 3: Now there was a quote in People from Wendy that
Speaker 3: said she knew nothing about what Sabrina was talking about.
Speaker 1: And more recent headlines.
Speaker 3: Joe Takapina, who was the most He's an attorney for
Speaker 3: Asat Rocky and his trial, his gun trial. He's also
Speaker 3: worked with Michael Jackson like he's He's done some pretty notable,
Speaker 3: well known cases like and won them. So Joe Takapina
Speaker 3: has We've also had my Breakfast club too.
Speaker 1: It was a great interview, go watch it.
Speaker 3: He's decided to come on to serve as Wendy Williams
Speaker 3: personal attorney. Now the goal and him coming on and
Speaker 3: serving as his personal attorney, of course, it's to get
Speaker 3: in on the guardianship. Like he wants to be the
Speaker 3: attorney that is helping to make sure that this guardianship
Speaker 3: is not taking advantage of Wendy. But from the way
Speaker 3: that he breaks it down, it's levels to this. You
Speaker 3: can't just come in and you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like there are certain things that have to be approved
Speaker 3: by judges and things of that nature. So while all
Speaker 3: that is working out, he's agreed to be her personal attorney. Now,
Speaker 3: in him being her personal attorney, I think that this
Speaker 3: will definitely set you know, because she's had she's let
Speaker 3: go of, you know, attorney's appointed by the court, bought
Speaker 3: in a new it was like a black woman attorney
Speaker 3: that she was super excited about. We broke that story
Speaker 3: as well, and then we also broke the story that
Speaker 3: Wendy decided to step away from that attorney even though
Speaker 3: that attorney has still been acting in Wendy's favor. But
Speaker 3: with Joe Takapina coming in, it's like it's about the up.
Speaker 3: It like You're not about to be able to play
Speaker 3: with Wendy at all. He did an interview with I
Speaker 3: believe it was Newsweek. It wasn't in his TMD interview.
Speaker 3: I believe it was in his Newsweek interview. It was
Speaker 3: an outlet where he said, basically like I'm not even
Speaker 3: trying to like shake the room.
Speaker 1: We just want Wendy to be treated fairly.
Speaker 3: We want her to have, you know, better, easier stipulations,
Speaker 3: and for her to have more say so. But in
Speaker 3: the midst of this, if that does not happen, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, I'm willing to do, you know,
Speaker 3: kind of whatever I need to do, but it's big
Speaker 3: business over here. Y'all don't want to see me in
Speaker 3: that court room. He literally has said that in interviews.
Speaker 3: So I spoke to a source close because with all
Speaker 3: of this mounting up the way that it is, I
Speaker 3: want to know did Wendy say no to that test
Speaker 3: and if so, why, like why I say no? And
Speaker 3: if she said no, what's the plan? What is going
Speaker 3: to happen next? Because she needs that test for multiple reasons.
Speaker 3: She needs that test because she needs to be able
Speaker 3: to prove that she can make her own decisions. As
Speaker 3: I mentioned, she needs to be able to prove that
Speaker 3: she's cognitively aware and able to live somewhere that you know,
Speaker 3: doesn't have certain stipulations and that you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: like all that stuff, but also too just to kind
Speaker 3: of at this point now figure out even how she's
Speaker 3: going to control this A and E lawsuit for that
Speaker 3: lifetime documentary that she's saying that she did not want,
Speaker 3: because that is on stay and on stay basically means
Speaker 3: it's on whole for three months until this test is taken,
Speaker 3: and then once the test is taken, a judge will
Speaker 3: determine who can make the decision of what happens next,
Speaker 3: whether it's Windy or a conservator. So I spoke to
Speaker 3: a source who would know, So it's very close to
Speaker 3: the situation that told me that Wendy is not against
Speaker 3: taking any testing. The thing here is is that Wendy
Speaker 3: Williams wants to make sure that if she's going to
Speaker 3: be taking a test that is going to be determining
Speaker 3: whether she is, you know, cognitively impaired or not, whether
Speaker 3: she has the dementia dementia that they are claiming that
Speaker 3: she has or not. She wants it to be fair,
Speaker 3: So she wants to get a third party independent evaluation done,
Speaker 3: something that I honestly think is really, really smart, and
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell y'all why. She also wants to make
Speaker 3: sure that whoever is doing the testing, when I say independent,
Speaker 3: is not appointed by the judge, because they just want
Speaker 3: to make sure there's no bias whatsoever. So the reports
Speaker 3: that Wendy is not open to taking the tests are
Speaker 3: not true. From everything I'm being told is that she's
Speaker 3: open to taking it. She actually has a court date
Speaker 3: coming up on May tenth, and on May tenth, they'll
Speaker 3: be having a conversation about you know, the attorneys and
Speaker 3: who will beware, but also that testing and wanting an
Speaker 3: independent you know, situation or independent testing that is not
Speaker 3: chosen or appointed by the conservator or the judge.
Speaker 1: Now, I am.
Speaker 3: Also told that if Joe Takapina is denied the ability
Speaker 3: to work within Wendy's case, there will be legal lawsuits
Speaker 3: that will happen against the setup, against the judge, just
Speaker 3: because you know, rightfully, the way that you know this
Speaker 3: whole thing is set up is like it should be
Speaker 3: in the best interest of the person who needs the
Speaker 3: guidance in the structure of the conservatorship, and Wendy does
Speaker 3: not feel like this is that. So from what I
Speaker 3: am told, lawsuits will fly if this does not happen.
Speaker 3: So look, we're gonna stay lots and figure out what
Speaker 3: and how that will end up once a tenth comes. Now,
Speaker 3: in all of this, I started thinking, like, okay, so
Speaker 3: if this cognitive test, this test was supposed to happen
Speaker 3: like what like I wanna say, like two weeks ago,
Speaker 3: and it hasn't happened. Right, A judge has decided we're
Speaker 3: gonna hold off on this whole civil lawsuit over here
Speaker 3: against a lifetime because.
Speaker 1: And for this test.
Speaker 3: What happens if this test just doesn't happen, like what
Speaker 3: happens if in three months, because even though these conversations
Speaker 3: are being had about whether Wendy's gonna take this tests
Speaker 3: or not, you still have three months to figure out
Speaker 3: and to submit testing and just different things in relation
Speaker 3: to that A and E lawsuit for Wendy, because that's
Speaker 3: how long the judge ordered for everything to hold as
Speaker 3: far as that and that's not cut short because you
Speaker 3: know they're trying to figure out attorneys and blah, blah
Speaker 3: blah blah blah, like that three months. Even if Wendy
Speaker 3: had took the tests today and the test results hadn't
Speaker 3: come back for another four months, that three months is
Speaker 3: still there, and they would have waited for that fourth
Speaker 3: month to get those results to figure out what happens next.
Speaker 3: Not saying that, you know it's possible, that's a long
Speaker 3: time to wait. Sure, it's gonna move faster than that,
Speaker 3: but I'm just saying though, like that three months is there,
Speaker 3: it's up, and it stuck.
Speaker 1: So I started reaching out, and I actually spoke to ROBERTA.
Speaker 1: Kaplan's office, who was the attorney working the AI lawsuit
Speaker 1: on behalf of Wendy Williams and her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Now,
Speaker 1: she told me.
Speaker 3: A few things, but I'm actually not going to discuss
Speaker 3: that here. I want to have a conversation about that
Speaker 3: in the room on the Breakfast Club. So make sure
Speaker 3: you guys tune in to the Breakfast Club where we'll
Speaker 3: be discussing how everything I just exclusively told you guys first,
Speaker 3: you heard it here first, how that will affect this
Speaker 3: grand any lifetime lawsuit that right now is centered as
Speaker 3: Wendy Williams and her conservative versus Lifetime, and Wendy is saying,
Speaker 3: y'all don't want this, so make sure y'all tune into
Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: To hear that.
Speaker 3: And in final and in closing our last story of
Speaker 3: the day, I told you guys, and I talked to
Speaker 3: you guys about the viral video of the woman in
Speaker 3: New York punching the reporter who she's not for abortion whatsoever. Now,
Speaker 3: this woman, her name is Brianna, who punched the reporter.
Speaker 3: It's very you know, for abortion and the right to
Speaker 3: do so and woman's bodies and all of that in
Speaker 3: a clash from everything that I'm being told right now.
Speaker 3: Savannah Crane, who is the woman who was doing the interview,
Speaker 3: the woman who was super you.
Speaker 1: Know, pro life. Abortions are bad, abortions are wrong.
Speaker 3: I did speak with her, and what she told me
Speaker 3: was that currently she is exploring every option under the
Speaker 3: law that is available to her.
Speaker 1: So she is planning to file a civil lawsuit against
Speaker 1: Brianna for punching her on camera in that interview.
Speaker 3: Because of the conversation that they were having, I asked
Speaker 3: her if she had already obtained an attorney, where she
Speaker 3: was in that process. If they're just having conversations, if
Speaker 3: the attorney is officially retained or on retainer, you know,
Speaker 3: money is paid, so things are moving, and she did
Speaker 3: not want to disclose that at this time.
Speaker 1: However, she did tell me that they will be.
Speaker 3: Planning to file a civil suit, but right now what
Speaker 3: they're waiting for is they're trying to see if there
Speaker 3: will be if there will even be at all, you know,
Speaker 3: depending on how the police's investigation goes and arrest made,
Speaker 3: and then from there they're going to figure out everything
Speaker 3: else the lawsuit. And I knew when I saw the video,
Speaker 3: my first thought was, regardless of whose side anybody sits on,
Speaker 3: whether you think Brianna was right forgetting with Savannah, because
Speaker 3: she said she was, you know, antagonized the whole time,
Speaker 3: and that the full video you know, allegedly wasn't released.
Speaker 3: And maybe that's something I'm gonna cass Savannah back to
Speaker 3: and asks her about.
Speaker 1: Is you know what's her response to.
Speaker 3: Brihanna saying, hey girl, drop the whole video, Like, drop
Speaker 3: the whole video?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 3: I watched a full video of sorts on Savannah's YouTube channel,
Speaker 3: not just that fifteen second clip of or fifteen minute
Speaker 3: clip of Brianna, the woman who was being interviewed, punching Savannah,
Speaker 3: the pro life activist who was doing the interviews, and
Speaker 3: I knew, I'm like, okay, a lawsuit is gonna come.
Speaker 3: It's no way, it's no way. But I also I
Speaker 3: thought that I watched the full video. But according to Briano,
Speaker 3: who was the woman who was being interviewed and said
Speaker 3: that she was antagonized, she said, there's more to it,
Speaker 3: there's more video, and she's she's challenging Savannah to put
Speaker 3: out that full video.
Speaker 1: So tomorrow I'll be, you know, taking this to I'm
Speaker 1: not real sure if I'll take this to the breakfast club,
Speaker 1: and now I think I will, though we'll do that.
Speaker 3: We'll take this to the breakfast club as well too,
Speaker 3: just to kind of ping pong it between the two shows,
Speaker 3: and I'll be able to, you know, give you guys
Speaker 3: another update in the realm of this, but also answered
Speaker 3: the question of like, is there a full video and
Speaker 3: where is it at if so, so.
Speaker 1: This has been the latest with Laura Le Rosa.
Speaker 3: As I tell you guys, always, at the end of
Speaker 3: the day, there's always a lot to talk about, and
Speaker 3: you could be anywhere with anybody talking about it. So
Speaker 3: y'all know, I appreciate y'all whenever you're right here with me.
Speaker 3: I'm the homegrowd that knows a little bit about everything,
Speaker 3: and every I'm signing out, I'm going to sleep. I'm
