What we got?
Lauren LaRosa
So yesterday I broke an exclusive. And again, if whenever you're looking for the latest and it's not happening here, follow me at Lauren LaRosa on social media because we broke an exclusive, not I. We broke an exclusive that Wendy Williams, after being transported to a hospital, scored a 10 out of 10 on a psych or a competency competency test. So this test that she took, it was 10 questions she was asked, and she answered all 10 questions. Correct the questions basically just help the person who's asking her these questions be able to determine, like, is she able to track, like, cognitively? Can she have a conversation? Does she know what's going on? Where is her mental state?
Charlamagne Tha God
Is she incapacitated or not?
Lauren LaRosa
Is she incapacitated or not? So we were told exclusively yesterday that she passed that test with flying colors.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good.
Lauren LaRosa
Which is a great sign because, as you know, like, she's trying to get out of the facility where she's living at right now. And that's the biggest issue is, like, they're trying to claim that she's not able to live outside of the restraints that she's living in right now.
Angela Yee
Gotcha.
Lauren LaRosa
Now to backtrack, though, why all of this happened. Cuz I think yesterday when people saw, like, there was two stories that dropped. There was a story about an investigation that's happening right now with Wendy Williams conservator Sabrina Marcy. And then there was a story about her being taken to a hospital. Before we were able to update people on what was happening at the hospital, I think people were freaking out, cuz you hear hospital Wendy, you're like, what happened? So what happened was Gina, mon. How you say Gina's last name?
Charlamagne Tha God
Gina.
DJ Envy
More.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, not more. Don't give me the line.
Lauren LaRosa
My girl Gina. Okay? She. If you guys watch the. The Wendy documentary on Tubi that TMZ did, Gina is in that documentary. So she has been kind of like spearheading the actions that Wendy is taking to try and get herself out of all this.
Angela Yee
She's the president of Connect Care Advisory Group.
Charlamagne Tha God
She is a godson. We had her on the Breakfast Club about. About maybe five years ago. You know, she. She's helped my family out with a lot of things, too, as well.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. I love her. So this all sparked off because she sent a letter to adult Protective Services, and in that letter, she was basically detailing the conditions that live Wendy is living under versus how she thinks she should be living. She also, you know, she called the circumstances very troubling around just her treatment in general, like not being able to come outside for fresh air, not seeing doctors, according to Wendy, as much as she wants to. She also talked a lot about just the floor that she's on and in the confinement and being a memory unit, the whole staff approval thing. And she was like, yo, y'all need to get somebody down here, because this is concerning. Not only is it concerning for her health, but legally, there's no way that, like, her rights are not being trampled over in this situation, right? So after that happened, now NYPD gets involved. So NYPD gets involved or whatever, and they. They step in. So now there are two investigations that are happening on the Adult Protective services side and the NYPD side, and they're basically looking into the conservatorship to see, yo, okay, is this violating her rights? And if so, how? Like, what is happening? Should she be in this situation? So I think with, you know, in talking to Gina and talking to different people that, like, are very aware of what's happening here. When you see a photo like this, and I printed out a photo from TMZ's video that they have of Wendy yesterday, where Wendy was so excited just to see somebody at the bottom of her building with a camera. She started waving, and it was like he had a free Wendy sign, and he held it up, and she started waving. She was just excited to see someone who knew who she was. You got to start to think, like, this is a human being. Like, why? So then after that, police come, and there's a video of police removing Wendy from, you know, the. What she calls a luxury prison.
Charlamagne Tha God
And she was walking. That's what I love about it.
Lauren LaRosa
She looked good, though.
Angela Yee
She walked out usually.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's been in the scooter.
Lauren LaRosa
She looked really good. She was walking, trembling.
Charlamagne Tha God
In New York yesterday. It was windy, walking down the sidewalk.
Lauren LaRosa
It was nice weather outside yesterday, too. So it was a good day for her to be able to get some Fresh air. But, yeah, so she. They took her to the hospital yesterday, and she did that test. And a big part of this, you know, is just getting some ammo so that she has some more backing. Because the. On the other side of things, because I had asked, like, well, why, like, what's happening with the court stuff? We. We talk about lawyers, we talk about the court, and they're like, yo, that just can take a minute. So, you know, bringing these additional eyes in, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Gets.
Lauren LaRosa
Can get things going. So that is what happened yesterday with Wendy.
Charlamagne Tha God
She'll be calling into Breakfast Club this morning. Wendy Williams will.
Angela Yee
To give us some more updates in about 15 minutes. About 10, 15 minutes. She'll be checking in, and she'll be telling us everything that's going on and what happened yesterday.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Y'all know the. The biggest thing when I'm, like, just running around or whatever, the biggest thing that people talk to me about from here is Wendy. Like, people are so connected to her. They want to know how she's doing. They want to know if this is a real thing. People. People think that this is, like, not real because it's so extreme. I've never gotten.
DJ Envy
People think it ain't real.
Lauren LaRosa
There are people that are like. I mean, I think that they know it's real. They just can't believe it. Like, because we know Wendy Williams as, like, Wendy Williams. So to see her now, people are like, this happen. But, like, everybody wants to know what's going on with Wendy.
