<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club as well too, because one of the first

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>interviews that Wendy Williams did about the current conservatorship that

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>she is in where she gave really in depth detail

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>about what she was going through, was with us on

0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the Breakfast Club.

0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Here's a little flashback in case you don't.

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to make it sad because it is

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.279
<v Speaker 1>our birthday, but I do want to, you know, take

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>some time to break down. You know what's going on

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>right now, where we're going, and you know all the things.

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 2>So let's take a listen real quick.

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 3>I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I'm saying. No,

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 3>but I feel like I am in prison. You understand

0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 3>what I'm saying. I'm in this place where the people

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 3>are in their nineties and their eighties and their seventies,

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 3>and even when people are sixty like me. Hey, I

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 3>am sexy and gorgeous sixty. Look please July eighteenth, nineteen

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.120
<v Speaker 3>sixty four, honey, for look like I'm exhausted thinking about

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 3>what if I can't see my dad for his birthday?

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, at ninety four, you know the day after

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 3>that is not promised. It's not promise. I want to

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 3>give my dad some sort of fragrance, you know. I

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>want to go to Sophora and pick and choose what

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 3>bring right now here.

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Now, this interview started such a shoot, man. It was

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:58.760
<v Speaker 1>when you work on a platform like The Breakfast Club,

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, nationally syndicated radio show who has been doing

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>what they've been doing for what fourteen fifteen years at

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:08.239
<v Speaker 1>this point, You know, when you have certain conversations they

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>will be everywhere like that is inevitable.

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>But the way that Wendy Williams.

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>And you know, her story at that time, was received,

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't taken aback by it, but it was definitely

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 1>something to watch. And the reason why I wasn't taking

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a back by it is because Wendy Williams, you know,

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:26.839
<v Speaker 1>famously in her career, spent a lot of time talking

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>about everybody else and everything they had going on and

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>everything they were dealing with, and you know, all the

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>ins and outs and all the all the secrets up

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>in the corners and the bodies and knowing where they

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>were buried and all the things. Right when Wendy williams

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>divorce hit, I remember being at TMZ and just working

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>and reporting on these stories and be honest with y'all

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning, you know, in pitching the fact that

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I knew that the divorce was coming. My boss at

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the time had said to me like, look, you know,

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>we don't really be cause it's a thing like a

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of times I outlets, you don't want to report

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>on another outlet or on another personality because number one,

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever you're reporting, it could be you. So you try

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>to give some grace about that, but also too it's like,

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, you don't want to you ain't giving out

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>your platform too freely. But Wendy Williams is Wendy Williams,

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>especially for me a person growing up in this so

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:14.399
<v Speaker 1>I knew that once divorce was filed, you know, from

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>her ex husband, Kevin Hunter Senior, and you know there

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>have been conversations about a baby that he had in

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>their marriage, and you know, all of the things mixed

0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in and being that it was Wendy Williams who had

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>done her career the way she did for so long,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I knew would be a big story. When that story

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>hit and we covered it, it was everywhere. During that time,

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Wendy Williams was really faced with a decision, and a

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>decision that she made on her show, if you guys remember.

0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Was to get into her own business.

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 4>It's been the motto of the Hot Topics Bureau since

0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 4>the show was invented during our six Weeks snak peak

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 4>eleven years ago. And it's so crazy because now my

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 4>business is your business. It's kind of funny. And addressing

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 4>my sobriety, my addiction head on has really helped me

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 4>sort out every single compartment of my life. And by

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 4>the way, I will still commit because you'll forget about

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 4>my business any moment now, and then I commit that

0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 4>the model of the show will always be their business

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.720
<v Speaker 4>is our business, That's.

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Right, Which was very like I saw that, and I said,

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Wendy Williams, as long as she is able to do

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 1>her show and be here and be a voice, will

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>never ever get old.

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Like you, no matter who comes up in.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 1>The media game, you will never surpass where Wendy is

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.040
<v Speaker 1>because she gets it. She leaned into her own drama.

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 1>She begin having conversations about it on her show, conversations

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>about being single and figuring out life after and just

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>all the things right now we fast forward to where

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>she is now in the breakfast club conversation. The reason

0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>why I knew that interview was going to be something

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.640
<v Speaker 1>to watch, to see her be vulnerable in this way

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>about you know something she is going through, where you

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 1>know she is, you know, alleging that she is so

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>helpless in being taken advantage of it is a very

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>different position to see a Wendy Williams.

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>And since then, if.

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.919
<v Speaker 1>You guys have been following, you know the covers that

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>we've been doing here at the Latest with Laura La Rosa.

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 1>We did a conversation last the last time I talked

0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 1>about Wendy Williams, I gave you guys a Mother's Day

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.599
<v Speaker 1>update on Wendy Williams. Make sure you guys go and

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:22.280
<v Speaker 1>check out that episode, and it gave you a brief

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:24.279
<v Speaker 1>glimpse into how she spent her Mother's Day, which I

0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 1>was told wasn't the best. She sat in her room alone,

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 1>the same room where she cannot, you know, receive calls in.

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>She can only call out that whole thing. Right today,

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it is her birthday and she was actually out last

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 1>night in New York celebrating. She was with Susanne, who

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>we all know from the Wendy Williams Show because Wendy

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Williams would show her on camera often she was her

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>producer that she would kind of do talkbacks with sometimes

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>on air. Let's take a listen to Wendy out with

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>Susanne last night.

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh, how you doing? Happy birthday? Wendank you any plans

0:05:58.640 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>for your birthday tomorrow?

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Celebrating with you, y'all. I'll be there a great friend

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.919
<v Speaker 2>of mine from my show. Okay, what are you wishing?

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>For on your birthday out of guardianship.

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, okay, okay, I got a what are you plan

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 3>What do you plan on discussing at dinner? Hi?

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Weddy? What to eat?

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 4>Hey?

<v Speaker 2>Gay? This is my attorney and that's my friend. All right,

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.800
<v Speaker 2>enjoy your dinner and happy birthday now.

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>As we celebrate Wendy and her birthday here today, I

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>think one of the things that's important to have a

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.680
<v Speaker 1>conversation about is the fact that Wendy Williams's life is

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>just way different now. Wendy Williams is still very much

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.479
<v Speaker 1>under her conservatorship. The fight is still actively going on.

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 1>We begin to hear from her in the public a

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 1>lot less, and I know you guys are wondering why,

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and you know, in me trying to bring some clarity

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>to that and some insight on that, I did reach out.

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I reached out to two people. I reached out to

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe Takapino, who was once serving as her personal attorney.

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>It's been a while since I've spoken to him, so

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>not for sure if that is still his role. Have

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>not heard back from him yet. I reached out to

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.240
<v Speaker 1>an attorney who was actually the who's actually the attorney

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for Wendy Williams conservator Sabrina Morsey, but not in her

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>guardianship case in the case that she has against A

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>and E. That is the case over the lifetime Wendy

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Williams documentary that Wendy Williams claim she did not want

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to put out and all of the things. I reached

0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>out for updates to all of these people. I wanted

0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>to know. You know, how was Wendy today, How was

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>she feeling? We saw her out last night. Thus she

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 1>had plans on her actual birthday. Where's her thought process?

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's certain things you want to celebrate with

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>certain people, with your family, with your friends. And we

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>have been told when I tried to go and visit Wendy,

0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>we had later been told and it came out when

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.080
<v Speaker 1>her guardian, Sabrina Morrisey did an interview with Vanity Fair

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>that Wendy was allowed to have family come and see her,

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 1>so her niece Alex Finny and you know family members.

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, they alleged or able to come and see

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Wendy and all of the things. Now, according to the

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>attorney for the A and D lawsuit on Sabrina Morrisey's behalf,

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>I reached out to them and said, Hi, I'm checking

0:08:11.840 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 1>in to see if there's been any movement at all

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>in this case here now before this, the last time

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I spoke to them was months ago. I said, I know.

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Last we spoke, there was a pause requested. And with

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>the pause I'm referring to is the pause in the

0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 1>A and E lawsuit. Because Wendy Williams was saying she

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't want the conservativeship, she never wanted this lawsuit, she

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>never wanted all these things, so they wanted to pause.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>They wanted her to take some tests to prove she

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:39.320
<v Speaker 1>is competent to make her own decisions, and then move

0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>forward with will the lawsuit go on or not, because

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.839
<v Speaker 1>she's claiming she was put in a bad position by

0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 1>this lawsuit and she didn't want this. So they said,

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what, let's take a pause. The Sabrina Morrissey,

0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the Conservative ship said let's take a pause. Let's figure

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 1>out she can make her own decisions, and then from there,

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>let her make her own decisions if she can, we

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>don't even want to be involved. So that pause has

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>been ongoing for it's been over six months now, and

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>it was supposed to only last for but so much time,

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>but it's still ongoing. I'm asking has there been any

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.880
<v Speaker 1>testing somebody at this point, because that is last what

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>we talked about. You guys are waiting on to then

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>be able to submit to a court. Where are we

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>what is happening? So they said testing is underway, which

0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 1>is an update, because last I spoke to them, and

0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>last I spoke to people on Wendy side, Wendy Williams

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>was refusing to take the tests. There were reports of that,

0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 1>and then I've been told from a source close that

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 1>that is what was happening, only because she felt like

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.520
<v Speaker 1>she had already been tested, she'd already proved her competence

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.160
<v Speaker 1>and she didn't want to go do with any more testing.

0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:37.120
<v Speaker 1>But according to this email, as an update, Wendy Williams,

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.880
<v Speaker 1>there is testing underway, allegedly testing to make sure that

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>she is not cognitively impaired, that she is not dealing

0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 1>with dementia, frontal lobe dementia and the other things claimed

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to the point where she cannot make her decisions. The

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 1>attorney for the guardianship on the A and E laws

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>who says the tests are not fully complete, but we

0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>think they will be complete soon then a report will

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>need be provided to the court. The A and E

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>case is still paused, but it won't stay that way indefinitely.

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.439
<v Speaker 1>So on Wendy's birthday, you know, it would have been

0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>such a joyous thing to be able to say, hey,

0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what Wendy wanted from this as far as

0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>like what her freedom looked like and all those things

0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:16.760
<v Speaker 1>is what she got.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>It's her birthday and she is celebrating.

0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.400
<v Speaker 1>But we are here an update that things are moving

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes, but we still haven't gotten to where

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to get to.

0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, it's very to me. I

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.319
<v Speaker 2>think it's very.

0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Clear that Wendy is competent enough to know what's going

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>on and know how she feels, know what she wants,

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>what she doesn't want. Do I think that she will

0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:40.360
<v Speaker 1>probably need some assistance just because she does deal with

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the different health issues that she's talked about,

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, she's just an older woman at this point,

0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 1>and she is Wendy Williams. So yes, Wendy Williams, whether

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the conservativeship was here or not, would have some helping hands.

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>She's Wendy Williams. She's going to need that. But do

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>I think that she should be locked away on her birthday,

0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>sitting in a room, limited access to who she can

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.040
<v Speaker 1>talk to and all those things.

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:01.160
<v Speaker 4>No.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>I do think guard rols are good, especially because she's

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 1>dealt with and openly talked about dealing with addiction of sorts.

0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 2>But man, to.

0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Say Happy Birthday Wendy Williams and know that she's probably

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.640
<v Speaker 1>sitting up in that room trying to figure things out,

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>having conversations on the phone, and celebrating through a phone

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>where she can only make a call out saddens me.

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 2>It does.

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, man, I said, we wasn't going in this on

0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the side. No, dang, I don't know. There's really no

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.560
<v Speaker 1>way around it. It's just when you look at where

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.959
<v Speaker 1>we know Wendy Williams to be and where her life

0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:38.560
<v Speaker 1>is today, there's no way around the conversation we just had.

0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'll keep you guys updated on anything and everything

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>else that I hear, of course, because y'all know that's
