Background of the Situation

[00:29] DJ Envy:
"Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. And we got some special guests on the line this morning. We have Wendy Williams."

The episode kicks off with Wendy Williams joining the hosts to shed light on a series of troubling events she recently experienced, including police visits and a competency exam that has significant implications for her personal and professional life.

Police Visits and Initial Concerns

[00:46] Charlamagne Tha God:
"Good morning, Wendy. I want to tell people who Gina is because Gina's name came up yesterday in a. In one of the TMZ articles."

Charlamagne introduces Gina, highlighting her crucial role in assisting Wendy during these tumultuous times. The conversation quickly delves into the events of the previous day when Wendy was seen leaving a facility accompanied by police officers.

[01:15] Wendy Williams:
"Well, the police showed up, and, you know, I mean, I'm exhausted. You know what I'm saying? I am exhausted. And I wanted to go to the hospital to talk to the doctor, you know."

Wendy explains her exhaustion and desire to seek medical attention, prompting Gina to take proactive steps to address her situation.

[02:17] Gina:
"So I was actually trying to figure out how to kind of break through and get some kind of motion into this case... So I did two things. I wrote a letter to the adult protective services explaining them. Wendy's situation. She was isolated, and we needed an investigation."

Gina outlines her strategy to involve Adult Protective Services (APS) to ensure Wendy's well-being, highlighting the severity of Wendy's isolation and the necessity for intervention.

Clarifying Misconceptions About the Incident

[03:16] Charlamagne Tha God:
"Now, Gina, let me ask you one question. There was something yesterday that said that Wendy dropped a note out the window and that's how the police were called. Is that true?"

[03:26] Gina:
"That's so funny. Wendy's talking to me on the phone, and she's like, Gina, there's a photographer downstairs. What do I do?"

Contrary to media reports, neither Wendy nor Gina confirms that Wendy dropped a note to alert the police. Instead, Gina clarifies that she personally contacted the police to request a welfare check.

[03:59] Gina:
"The note had nothing to do with it. Wendy. And I actually called the police directly."

This segment debunks rumors, emphasizing that the police were summoned due to direct intervention from Gina, not through any note Wendy may have allegedly dropped.

Interactions with Law Enforcement

[04:07] Gina:
"I pleaded with the Police. As if Wendy was my child. Please, you need to get her off this floor. She is confined."

Gina passionately advocates for Wendy's release from the restrictive environment, portraying Wendy as someone who is not incapacitated but in need of support and freedom.

[04:40] Charlamagne Tha God:
"I was shocked to see Wendy walking yesterday. That's what I was telling Wendy yesterday. We saw them look for Dema feet. I was like, I cannot believe."

Charlamagne expresses surprise at seeing Wendy outside the facility, reinforcing the unexpected nature of the police visit and Wendy's subsequent actions.

Wendy’s Statements on Incapacitation Claims

[05:00] Wendy Williams:
"And I told them, I am not incapacitated, you know, as I've been accused. And this floor that I live on is the memory unit. The people who lived there remember anything unlike me. Like, why am I here? What is going on? It's a cry for help."

Wendy vehemently denies accusations of incapacitation, framing her actions as a desperate attempt to seek help rather than signs of mental decline.

Gina’s Support and Legal Maneuvers

[05:25] Gina:
"We need a medical doctor. That's right. The nurse says, oh, we have a doctor in the building. No, I want an independent doctor."

Gina pushes for an unbiased medical evaluation, countering the facility’s attempts to classify Wendy as incapacitated through internal assessments.

[06:02] DJ Envy:
"So they didn't want her to leave. They tried to do everything to make sure she didn't leave."

The hosts highlight the resistance faced by Wendy and Gina in their efforts to secure Wendy's autonomy and proper medical evaluation.

Competency Exam and Its Implications

[08:38] DJ Envy:
"Now, tell us what happened when you got to the hospital. Because there were claims that they did a test and she got 10 out of 10 on the test. So what happened when she actually got to the hospital?"

[09:56] Charlamagne Tha God:
"What does the 10-10 mean?"

[10:03] Gina:
"10 out of 10 correct. 10 questions asked. 10 questions correct, answered correctly."

Wendy underwent an independent competency exam, scoring perfectly, which strongly counters claims of her incapacitation. This exam was conducted by a reputable hospital and is deemed admissible in court.

[10:49] Gina:
"That's actually false. That's a medical exam done by an independent doctor by a very well-known hospital. You can use that for the court."

Gina emphasizes the legitimacy of the exam, reinforcing that it serves as a robust counter to any claims undermining Wendy's capacity to make decisions.

Allegations Against Wendy’s Guardian

[07:28] Wendy Williams:
"They never said anything to you at all. Please, please, please. Because she's lying about the Vanity Fair."

Wendy accuses her guardian of dishonesty, particularly regarding statements made to Vanity Fair that portray their relationship and her mental state inaccurately.

[12:31] Gina:
"I call it all Jedi mind game. She really just wanted the world to believe that Wendy was incapacitated. She had her locked up. She gave her a phone where she can't receive calls. And her big mistake was that she didn't realize who Wendy Williams is."

Gina critiques the guardian's manipulative tactics aimed at discrediting Wendy, highlighting the strategic efforts to isolate and control her.

Wendy’s Hospital Experience and Support

[14:12] Wendy Williams:
"No, no, I'm still at the hospital. I'm waiting for my lawyer, you know, who will be here. Also, there's some things that I cannot talk about regarding the hospital."

Wendy shares her ongoing situation at the hospital, awaiting legal support and navigating complex dynamics with the facility's staff and her guardian.

[15:04] Gina:
"Just hashtag free Wendy. We're hoping we can kind of find an alternative plan instead of going back to the luxury prison."

Gina calls for public support using the hashtag #FreeWendy, advocating for Wendy's release from the restrictive environment she’s currently in.

Wendy’s Upcoming Appearance on The View

[12:09] Wendy Williams:
"Okay. It comes on at 11:00am the view, my friend. Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar. Listen, I've been to the View several times in life. It's nice. I enjoy the View."

Wendy announces her planned appearance on The View, signaling her intention to publicly address her situation and share her side of the story with a broader audience.

Next Steps and Call to Action

[16:54] Gina:
"Continue supporting Wendy, Continue. Just hashtag free Wendy. We're hoping we can kind of find an alternative plan instead of going back to the luxury prison."

Gina urges listeners to support Wendy through social media advocacy, emphasizing the need for collective action to secure Wendy's freedom and protect her rights.

The episode concludes with heartfelt thanks and affirmations of support from both hosts and guests. Wendy expresses gratitude towards the New York Police Department and the medical staff assisting her, while Gina reiterates the importance of public support in her fight against unjust confinement.
