The first two episodes I watched it seems like she didn’t give anybody a chance she kicked all of them out then she was rude and it seems like stuck in her ways about certain things but I guess some people are just like that. I really hope for the best for her though the two episodes that came on today. I actually forgot about it and didn’t even watch it..
@@IAmJustRme too😢I cried like a baby..I had to turn it off especially when she took her wig off I lost the battle to hold the tears back..praying for her🙏🙏
I’ve never followed Wendy Williams but I am praying for her and her protection! We live in a cruel world! We all have fallen short and we all need grace and mercy!
I totally agree, It's just so sad. I pray she's getting the help she needed. I was horrified watching this. Those people that took and taken advantage of her illness is so wrong. I didn't watch her show that often but still she's a hurman being, a mother, sister etc... That was terrible to watch. They should have never filmed her in that state.
I cried so much when I found out her diagnosis was dementia. I agree with you and everyone else, Shawn, Will and the white woman (who I found out is her guardianship) needs to be fired.
But the guardian came after will because everyone like will and others were just letting her drink and deteriorate and we’re unable to actually care for her in the ways a patient needs so in steps the court - but I haven’t seen it and am not sure I’m going to watch either
I call foul play because if she wanted her family to be her guardians and always makes progress with them, how could a judge remove her son as guardian to some random “handlers”. There something so eerie and sad about this.
I think the family and the handlers were enabling her and really did not know how to address her health. I think the court appointed person was because the financial vultures originally. I think the family benefits from her financially and they are upset they can’t get money. But she had not been doing well even during the last part of her show but her family allowed her to do it and kept the churn going.
I rarely comment on your videos, but I want to let you know that regardless of what you review, I can see your growth and this video is an ultimate showcase of your humanity and love for what you do. Thank you for being transparent and true to yourself...well done Ashley.
This was filmed a while ago, contract was signed years ago for the bio to continue. Why then did the guardian wait UNTIL THE MIDNIGHT HOUR to file an injunction.....I cry foul.
People don’t know that she’s going back to court this year for renewal of the order. Why you think they wanted this shut down? The doc wrapped April of 2023.. She’s been in the rehab facility since then. Wendy’s sister Wanda and her family members weren’t added to the doc until later in the year in October if people paid attention to the clapper board when Wanda was interviewed at the end of part 2. Another thing that stuck out to me was Kevin Jr saying the only reason for him wanting to be included in the doc is because he was told this will help her get better. This doc is a timeline of what she was going through under this guardian/conservatorship. This whole time did people not notice that none of her family could contact her? Not even her own son could call her. She had to call them. The only people who could call her was the guardian and Will. But she was constantly under the influence and out of it. No telling what type of meds she was on. She didn’t bother to reach out as much. This was to show the world what these people are doing to her so she can be with her family again before they kill her. She’s not safe. This isn’t to exploit her. I’m glad this was put out and hope all goes in her and the family’s favor.
Ashley you gotme bawling 😭😭😭 God bless you and your mom for helping your uncle when he had no one else. That was the God in your family. Alcohol is a terrible disease. I could feel your emotions through the screen. I hope and pray Wendy has someone in her life to be able to get close enough to her to help her. Dementia is a HORRIBLE condition. She needs a true advocate.
It's sad at the guardian does not have her best interest at heart. Because this would be the time for them to step up now that she has dementia there's no way for her to reverse the guardianship. Because they're just going to say she's not in the right mind and she doesn't know what she's doing
It was the final installment of her 3-picture deal with Lifetime. She executive produced it. The POINT is to expose that she was at her worst under the court appointed guardianship vs when the family was in control. It was done to prove a point and expose it all.
It’s really sad You guys 😢! Dementia is no joke Even her family members can’t handle her dementia , people with dementia say things and can’t remember , mean nasty words ! 😢😢😢 as we saw with Wendy ! Prays for Wendy
i was like oh her niece not on that bs when she came in the room and the chick was there she told the camera crew she dont need to be in the room when im with my aunt!
I watched the first hour I probably will not watch the rest I agree with you totally it is sad my daddy died from dementia and that disease is evil and she needs the right people around her to give her the real help that she needs
I’m praying for Wendy to get better. So many people, minus her family, aren’t doing her any good. I’m not sure about her little manager Will. I’m 50/50 about him.
I don’t even watch the last two episodes. The first two episodes was enough for me. I was just like she’s pushing everyone away she’s being mean she’s being rude I was just like what is happening like is she normally like this or is it because of the dementia I was like OK, like I barely got through the first two episodes and I really wanted to watch it but it was just way too sad and then her just lashing out at everyone kicking people out. They ask something she kicks them out they do something she kicks them out, yells at them. like even when she was like I wanna go to the Wendy Williams show, and the guy was like we already went. She said do it again that’s not really how it went but that’s kind of it but the way that she said it though I was just like was that really called for? But again it might’ve been the dementia. I’m not sure.
Yep, My Granny ain’t never ever cuss, talk crazy, be rude, mean or aggressive. Until she was diagnosed with cancer then low grade dementia and once it got worse she was a savage. I was 28 yrs old I’m now 37 myself, not anyone my granny knew heard her talk the way she was talking just like Wendy was talking. So sad and calling my dad (her son) her brother she couldn’t remember certain ppl, things, dates etc. And the doctors told us don’t try and make her overly remember or get mad at her, meet her where she’s at “If it’s a Tuesday and She say it’s Friday “Mmm hmmm okay yeah” cuz she’s not gonna get better, it’s an aggressive, debilitating illness
WellsFargo took control of her money with no guardianship in place. We know how notorious WellsFargo is about others people’s money making them money. I hope the family finds out how and who authorized their control. I haven’t watched it. Don’t want to. No one is protecting Wendy and those that are trying are being denied access.
They had to under the law, the amount of money that was coming out of her account like the 100k for Ubereats. Suspicious activity like that forced them to do that. Frankly Wendy needed a financial advisor somone who can manage her money but im assuming Kevin and herself didnt trust anyone. Honestly the problem is Guardianship laws they are very strict they dont really work with families
@psymaira $100k for UberEats is wild. I really don't see how Will and Shawn are able to be there and her family is not. I honestly don't see who Wendy can trust. Will and the people he hires seems like a money grab. Who is paying them? The guardianship?? Sounds like a scheme.
I think it needed to air. Maybe more people with expertise in conservatorships will come forward to help her family. It’s a shame. Enabling an addict with dementia is so low. The situation makes me sad. Prayers for Wendy to get a conservator that wants to do the right thing for her.
I didn’t watch but thank you for your honest and transparent review. There comes a time when we have to choose people over profits and moral over exploitation. I hope someone is able to petition for her to live in better conditions. Her handlers need to let her rest and not use her likeness for business.
I feel it's so we can pray for her Knowing fully her situation and how bad it is Because if it wasn't aired I'm sure we would just think she's having rich people problems Because there have been reports but to be honest people didn't really take it seriously
I definitely think it should have been aired to show how Guardianship judgements work (or don’t work in this matter) and to give insight into dementia. Many people have no idea about it. Exposure may apply pressure on the courts to allow family be Guardian
Well it helped me understand why she is how she is and made me more sympathetic to her. She really has needed help since childhood and didn’t get it. She is not gotten or received help for a long time.
Ashley... The description of your uncle is the exact same thing that happened to my sister. I held her hand and watched her take her last breath 4/28/21. We went through it all with her. The constant worrying... The mental struggles... People taking advantage of her...I truly didn't understand addiction until we went through it with her. When I see people struggling with addiction, I never judge now. God bless everyone and their families going through this.
I want to know what judge gave WELLS FARGO the right to put Windy's funds under conservership and have her moved from one state to another-where is the FAMILY?
I Totally Wholeheartedly Agree with U & I didn't even watch the whole thing! It is Heartbreaking to watch them ruin her Legacy & they r abusing her & taking advantage of her! 😢
Although it’s hard to watch, I think it’s a good thing they made this. Because how is she in a conservatorship & living in this condition. Her family needs to be over her and not ppl on her payroll.
I fell in love when I first heard one of Wendy’s segments that was syndicated on our radio stations in Texas. She’s also influenced my decision to pursue Mass Communications and broadcasting when I grew up. She is the blueprint in my book.
This documentary is very unsettling to watch. I've watched both parts. I hope this gives the family/her son a good case to petition the courts to make changes with the current arrangement. I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle Ashley 😢. I pray Wendy can get better. I'm glad your mom is doing better.
i was tearing up watching because it was sad especially tonights continuation! someone on another channel suggested maybe will is the one taking advantage of her?because he looking all flashy and stuff and showing the bottle of liquor in the doc like why he do that?
I really just want to know why the family hasn’t pulled their money/ resources together to hire an attorney to have the guardianship order amended or to at the very least see what they’re options are.
@@alfredpolk5226 I know but she may not specialize in guardianship law. I’m sure she could do research, but it wouldn’t hurt to pay a consultation fee to learn their options from someone who practices it regularly.
@naturallybrown, Yes, I agree it is a sad situation. It is a long and expensive road for her family to try to change things. Her sister kind of confirmed this in her interview. Wendy's original team failed her. Important docs should have been completed when she was in her good mental state, especially once she got divorced. This is a cautionary tale for everyone, get your paperwork in order. I do wish her well.
The family did nothing when she was deteriorating - they won’t do it because Wendy was their cash cow and now they’re upset. But they did not help her. They should have visits though and calls.
I’m with you Ashley, as a person who lost several family members to alcoholism, it is not something easy to just sit and watch. It is something to make humor out of either. I hope Wendy gets the help and support she needs.
I feel this as well .... I did not watch the so called documentary but did see the Angela White clip on youtube and knew she Wendy, is Not the same .... Praying her family is able to legally put a stop to this travesty
He was a Jewelry, what is going on? Even as a manager the way he cursed at her was totally unprofessional. I was wondering does he truly have her best interest at heart or that paycheck and 15 mins of fame. That Shawn girl totally took advantage of Wendy. I assure you she has Wendy expensive things in her or someone else's home. She definitely exploited her, hell all of them did. Its just horrible, horrible greedy people. No one with her diagnosis should be making those decision, I just pray someone with compassion and empathy with the knowledge to take care of her health and well-being they must have Wendy best interest only. Prayers for family to have better understanding of her diagnosis and how they can help her not hurt her which I do wonder about somethings. But I think they do have concerns for her. Her son I pray for wisdom, knowledge, strength for him to help his mom minus the cousin for awhile. JMO......
Hi Ashley. I fully agree with you. I wanted to say thank you for your delivery and sharing about your own familes experience with alcoholism and burnout. We have to think would you want this for your loved one, or even for oneself ? This is exploitative. My only hope is that this will cause the general public the same reaction and possibly make them look at her conservativeship as they did with Britney Spears. I have not nor do I wish to view this series. It feels like pulling the wings from a defenceless butterfly. Mental health is nothing to joke about !
Ashley thank you for sharing x my heart hurts for Wendy and i can't watch. My mum struggles with alcoholism and its hard to find the line between sympathy and tough love.... i do need to change my tolerance for my mum. Ive been a sub for years and never seen u tear up. I knw you love your fave uncle so much x Lots of hugs xx
I actually agree with you that this should not have been aired. Frankly it has made me super upset and sick to my stomach so I cant imagine how those who are vulnerable are feeling. I used to watch her show every single day and it brought me great joy! Not the putting people down but her humour. To see her this way is painful. Im sorry to anyone suffering from seeing this. Bless you all and Bless you Wendy! ❤
100% agree with you, Ashley. I was looking forward to the Wendy special when I saw the promo weeks ago. But once her niece started doing the interviews and Wendy’s diagnosis came out, I decided that I would not support that show by watching it. My mom and I used to watch Wendy’s show and enjoyed it. I’m a primary caregiver to my over 90 year old mom and if somebody would dare to try to take advantage of her….😡.Years ago, I subscribed to your channel to get your hilarious Love\Life After Lockup show recaps, but sometimes listen to your catch up videos. Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable about your own family. You have my respect . I’m still praying for Wendy and all of us caregivers.
And the manager showing up in every scene with thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of designer brand clothing and jewelry. He had no shame letting us know how kept he is by a woman who doesn’t even have a job. What is he managing??
As a person who had to deal with this I have so many emotions. Just know the guardianship is hard to obtain. I had to go through hoops to get it for my dad and prove to the courts that I wouldnt neglect or spend unnecessary money. I cant speak for NY, but for DE, the court gave us a monthly allowance to pay my dads bills and anything above and beyond I had to get approval from the court and then they would reach out to the bank to say the transaction over our allowance is approved. Also I had to sign a bond that said if I did anything of such, the state would out a lien on me worth $250k and they can garnish wages, taxes, or whatever lil bit of coins I have/had. So Im not sure what the state/bank will gain from this situation besides covering their behinds to avoid lawsuits cause we know Wells Fargo keeps em coming! I want to know whats in the sealed docs to make the courts say her family wasnt deemed ok to care for her finances and health.
thank u for sharing ashley.. wendy needs to rest easy - imagine bruce willis family letting him do a podcast.. honestly she needs 24 hour nursing care 😢
The guardian took her out of that situation. They also announced to the world her medical condition. Folks really need to educate themselves on her medical condition. Money is the least of her problems.
I think we needed to see this because for fans, We care about where she is at and the family even said the whole point is to expose the conservatorship system because someone is pulling the strings that won’t let her family in. Apologies for what happened to your uncle Ashley ❤ love to him. I will say that manager Will needs to be watched carefully 👀
I will not give ex-husband Kevin any credit. He may have been able to exhibit control over what came out in regards to her image but he is detrimental/harmful in other ways. Addiction is so complex. If you try to stop her from drinking, because she had/has extensive resources, you can’t really stop her. Those suffering with addiction will threaten to hurt themselves if they don’t get what they want. They will do anything to get it. It’s truly heartbreaking. It can sometimes be a lose-lose situation for family members. If you aren’t equipped to help or the person doesn’t accept help, what do you do? If you leave, and throw your hands up, it opens them (Wendy) to be exploited by other people. Addiction can be so cruel to everyone involved 😔 Now it’s coupled with dementia 😢….
Hey Ashley, I really do agree with you with regards to her manager. I do believe that some people around them really witness her abuse alcohol over the years probably told themselves that “this is what Wendy does” and what I got from that is that they enable her that it’s something that she’s done it’s just gotten worse overtime if that makes sense and that’s what’s so heartbreaking because they’re letting her continue, this self destruct behaviour… it’s just really sad
Well if for no other reason, I guess that's a reason for this monstrosity to be posted. Knowing that something good came out of it. Congratulations, and may you be strong enough to stick to it👑✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I also think they could have done this exact same documentary without showing Wendy on screen at all! Her family members could have expressed their Guardianship concerns, explained Wendy’s alcoholism and Dementia diagnosis while showing only pictures of Wendy how we all remembered her last ….They could have even asked Wendy for her input and shared it in the documentary so that she could also feel included……There are so many Celebrities that suffered with Dementia and we never saw their families exploit them on TV during their darkest times (i.e. Bruce Willis, Bettie White, Barbara Walter’s etc) Prayers 🙏 for Wendy!
I agree with you 💯. I didn't even watch it because it was so heartbreaking to see Wendy in the state of mind she's in. Thank you for sharing.
The first two episodes I watched it seems like she didn’t give anybody a chance she kicked all of them out then she was rude and it seems like stuck in her ways about certain things but I guess some people are just like that. I really hope for the best for her though the two episodes that came on today. I actually forgot about it and didn’t even watch it..
Me too I couldn’t watch just seeing the clips made me emotional
The clip and photos of Angela wrapped around her with her head in her lap ....🥺🥺🥺 just sends me every time i come across it
Karma
@@IAmJustRme too😢I cried like a baby..I had to turn it off especially when she took her wig off I lost the battle to hold the tears back..praying for her🙏🙏
I with you Ashley, they need to remove the cameras from her. Just like Bruce. Let her rest.
My friend was Wendy’s addiction counselor in the sober living house and said she didn’t take her problem seriously and resistant to treatment
I’ve never followed Wendy Williams but I am praying for her and her protection! We live in a cruel world! We all have fallen short and we all need grace and mercy!
Same!
I totally agree, It's just so sad. I pray she's getting the help she needed. I was horrified watching this. Those people that took and taken advantage of her illness is so wrong.
I didn't watch her show that often but still she's a hurman being, a mother, sister etc... That was terrible to watch. They should have never filmed her in that state.
I cried so much when I found out her diagnosis was dementia. I agree with you and everyone else, Shawn, Will and the white woman (who I found out is her guardianship) needs to be fired.
Will is the only employee that has her best interest at heart
@@imannewby2826Nah, him yelling and cussing at her isn't sitting right with me. You don't cuss at someone who has dementia. Period.
@@MsJaiMaeExactly
But the guardian came after will because everyone like will and others were just letting her drink and deteriorate and we’re unable to actually care for her in the ways a patient needs so in steps the court - but I haven’t seen it and am not sure I’m going to watch either
They are abusing her not safeguarding I was upset when she felt she had to apologies to Will just sad
All Wendy did was gossip on national tv. It’s 2024 and everyone is gossiping now. Nobody deserves to be taken advantage of some people are weird.
It's not the gossiping, it's some of the disgusting things she said towards others.
The guardians got exposed. I hope the judge sees this and fires the guardian.
I hate how people got all this smoke for Wendy Williams, but Howard Stein or Perez Hilton.
Exactly
Thank you! Perez Hilton was a no talented nasty. 😒
EXACTLY!!! There are those who have done far worse and STILL doing things.
This is total exploitation. She can’t consent to any of this
I call foul play because if she wanted her family to be her guardians and always makes progress with them, how could a judge remove her son as guardian to some random “handlers”. There something so eerie and sad about this.
Hollywood baby.
I think the family and the handlers were enabling her and really did not know how to address her health. I think the court appointed person was because the financial vultures originally.

But she had not been doing well even during the last part of her show but her family allowed her to do it and kept the churn going.
Just like that movie "I Care A Lot"
This is extremely sad!! 😢

Exactly - every intrusive thought or something they overheard comes out their mouth
My uncle has it, remembering him as a strong black man as a child to not remembering 💔dementia is a heartbreaking thing Man
They will whip your a** too if they become scared or too confused
Right!! That’s why she was being so mean and calling Shawn fat and all that
i was like oh her niece not on that bs when she came in the room and the chick was there she told the camera crew she dont need to be in the room when im with my aunt!
I watched the first hour I probably will not watch the rest I agree with you totally it is sad my daddy died from dementia and that disease is evil and she needs the right people around her to give her the real help that she needs
They trying to sacrifice Wendy! That’s how I feel every since they replaced her show!
The niece said this was made to expose the guardianship.
This absolutely should’ve never been aired
Never
I’m praying for Wendy to get better. So many people, minus her family, aren’t doing her any good. I’m not sure about her little manager Will. I’m 50/50 about him.
It is truly heartbreaking. I can see the hurt in your eyes from your experience, with your family member as well. Sending you lots of love ❤

I turned it off 5 minutes in. Wendy doesn’t deserve to be seen like this 😢
I feel it's so we can pray for her
Knowing fully her situation and how bad it is
Because if it wasn't aired I'm sure we would just think she's having rich people problems
Because there have been reports but to be honest people didn't really take it seriously
I couldn't watch it too emotional😢
May God Have Grace and Mercy On Her Soul
Exploitation when she is down! So not right
I definitely think it should have been aired to show how Guardianship judgements work (or don’t work in this matter) and to give insight into dementia. Many people have no idea about it. Exposure may apply pressure on the courts to allow family be Guardian
I cried when she fainted. I literally cannot see this project. I can't.
It literally made my ill. I will not be watching the other parts. I've had enough too, Ashley.

This was too sad for me i dont like seeing people like that. She has nobody looking out for her 💔
Ashley was giving Vanessa Williams from Soul Food at the end of this video lol. "F*ck the family!" Lmao!

@naturallybrown, Yes, I agree it is a sad situation. It is a long and expensive road for her family to try to change things. Her sister kind of confirmed this in her interview. Wendy's original team failed her. Important docs should have been completed when she was in her good mental state, especially once she got divorced. This is a cautionary tale for everyone, get your paperwork in order. I do wish her well.
The family did nothing when she was deteriorating - they won’t do it because Wendy was their cash cow and now they’re upset. But they did not help her. They should have visits though and calls.
I’m with you Ashley, as a person who lost several family members to alcoholism, it is not something easy to just sit and watch. It is something to make humor out of either. I hope Wendy gets the help and support she needs.
It's that industry ..PERIOD
I’m happy they released this documentary because it’ll help get her out of the guardianship
This is so sad I feel so sad for Wendy this break my heart to hear sad news about Wendy 😢
I feel this as well .... I did not watch the so called documentary but did see the Angela White clip on youtube and knew she Wendy, is Not the same .... Praying her family is able to legally put a stop to this travesty
I agree with you about Will the manager. Also, how do you start out being her jeweler and become her MANAGER????! 🤔🤔🤔
He was a Jewelry, what is going on?
Even as a manager the way he cursed at her was totally unprofessional. I was wondering does he truly have her best interest at heart or that paycheck and 15 mins of fame. That Shawn girl totally took advantage of Wendy. I assure you she has Wendy expensive things in her or someone else's home. She definitely exploited her, hell all of them did. Its just horrible, horrible greedy people. No one with her diagnosis should be making those decision, I just pray someone with compassion and empathy with the knowledge to take care of her health and well-being they must have Wendy best interest only. Prayers for family to have better understanding of her diagnosis and how they can help her not hurt her which I do wonder about somethings. But I think they do have concerns for her. Her son I pray for wisdom, knowledge, strength for him to help his mom minus the cousin for awhile. JMO......
Even the Title gives IT Away 😢 Where IS SHE' 😮😮
Hi Ashley. I fully agree with you. I wanted to say thank you for your delivery and sharing about your own familes experience with alcoholism and burnout. We have to think would you want this for your loved one, or even for oneself ? This is exploitative. My only hope is that this will cause the general public the same reaction and possibly make them look at her conservativeship as they did with Britney Spears. I have not nor do I wish to view this series. It feels like pulling the wings from a defenceless butterfly. Mental health is nothing to joke about !
Ashley thank you for sharing x my heart hurts for Wendy and i can't watch. My mum struggles with alcoholism and its hard to find the line between sympathy and tough love.... i do need to change my tolerance for my mum. Ive been a sub for years and never seen u tear up. I knw you love your fave uncle so much x Lots of hugs xx
I’m glad it was shown so that we can see that the people she have around her does not have her best interest. She should be in the care of her family.
Yes it was pissing me off so bad! I had literally cut it off. I do not want to see Wendy that way
The series is super sad😢 for real for real
Fr my jaw dropped when Wendy said that to her employee 😢 I would have burst into tears if she said that to me
U r right. I’m feeling like u by the way Missed U I was glad to c u pop up on my feed.
I actually agree with you that this should not have been aired. Frankly it has made me super upset and sick to my stomach so I cant imagine how those who are vulnerable are feeling. I used to watch her show every single day and it brought me great joy! Not the putting people down but her humour. To see her this way is painful. Im sorry to anyone suffering from seeing this. Bless you all and Bless you Wendy! ❤
I know this review was hard for you, but thank you for doing it because I know I won’t be able to watch it. I can’t watch someone at there lowest.
100% agree with you, Ashley. I was looking forward to the Wendy special when I saw the promo weeks ago. But once her niece started doing the interviews and Wendy’s diagnosis came out, I decided that I would not support that show by watching it. My mom and I used to watch Wendy’s show and enjoyed it. I’m a primary caregiver to my over 90 year old mom and if somebody would dare to try to take advantage of her….😡.Years ago, I subscribed to your channel to get your hilarious Love\Life After Lockup show recaps, but sometimes listen to your catch up videos. Thank you for sharing your story and being vulnerable about your own family. You have my respect . I’m still praying for Wendy and all of us caregivers.
And the manager showing up in every scene with thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of designer brand clothing and jewelry. He had no shame letting us know how kept he is by a woman who doesn’t even have a job. What is he managing??
As a person who had to deal with this I have so many emotions. Just know the guardianship is hard to obtain. I had to go through hoops to get it for my dad and prove to the courts that I wouldnt neglect or spend unnecessary money. I cant speak for NY, but for DE, the court gave us a monthly allowance to pay my dads bills and anything above and beyond I had to get approval from the court and then they would reach out to the bank to say the transaction over our allowance is approved. Also I had to sign a bond that said if I did anything of such, the state would out a lien on me worth $250k and they can garnish wages, taxes, or whatever lil bit of coins I have/had. So Im not sure what the state/bank will gain from this situation besides covering their behinds to avoid lawsuits cause we know Wells Fargo keeps em coming! I want to know whats in the sealed docs to make the courts say her family wasnt deemed ok to care for her finances and health.
thank u for sharing ashley.. wendy needs to rest easy - imagine bruce willis family letting him do a podcast.. honestly she needs 24 hour nursing care 😢
The guardian took her out of that situation. They also announced to the world her medical condition.
Folks really need to educate themselves on her medical condition. Money is the least of her problems.
Humanity is in the trash🥺
Thanks for sharin your story about your uncle 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿❤
I'm glad it did bc it exposed those so called guardians... like how don't you have food in the house
Thank you for sharing your story with us
Just rest Wendy we will be here ❤❤❤❤❤
I love when Ashley says I don't know how long this video gone be because that means we getting a good reaction! 🍿
200% agree
Shawn was horrible. It looks like they got rid of her, I never saw her after the California trip, but I never heard anything stated definitively.
I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY 💯💯
Ok Ash you slimming down and whatnot 😍
Wow! If that was my relative id go up into & have a house cleaning! 😮😮😮
I think we needed to see this because for fans, We care about where she is at and the family even said the whole point is to expose the conservatorship system because someone is pulling the strings that won’t let her family in. Apologies for what happened to your uncle Ashley ❤ love to him. I will say that manager Will needs to be watched carefully 👀
Thank You Ashley For Sharing Your Story 🧡
I will not give ex-husband Kevin any credit. He may have been able to exhibit control over what came out in regards to her image but he is detrimental/harmful in other ways.
Addiction is so complex. If you try to stop her from drinking, because she had/has extensive resources, you can’t really stop her. Those suffering with addiction will threaten to hurt themselves if they don’t get what they want. They will do anything to get it. It’s truly heartbreaking.
It can sometimes be a lose-lose situation for family members. If you aren’t equipped to help or the person doesn’t accept help, what do you do? If you leave, and throw your hands up, it opens them (Wendy) to be exploited by other people.
Addiction can be so cruel to everyone involved 😔 Now it’s coupled with dementia 😢….
24:48 thanks for sharing. I’m going through something similar.
Heyy Ashley, please keep doing what you are doing. 😊
Kelvin broke her!
Will was dripped in Designer everything . He is definitely taking advantage
Hey Ashley, I really do agree with you with regards to her manager. I do believe that some people around them really witness her abuse alcohol over the years probably told themselves that “this is what Wendy does” and what I got from that is that they enable her that it’s something that she’s done it’s just gotten worse overtime if that makes sense and that’s what’s so heartbreaking because they’re letting her continue, this self destruct behaviour… it’s just really sad
The saddest shit I've ever seen.. but I made a decision tonight to stop drinking for my children 😢
I'm proud of you, Couz 🤗🥰
Well if for no other reason, I guess that's a reason for this monstrosity to be posted. Knowing that something good came out of it. Congratulations, and may you be strong enough to stick to it👑✊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I think they should have put it out to let people know that the people she's with don't have her best interest she need to be with her family
If anything by airing out this documentary will showcase what's really going on and somebody with good intentions can get her the help.
I also think they could have done this exact same documentary without showing Wendy on screen at all! Her family members could have expressed their Guardianship concerns, explained Wendy’s alcoholism and Dementia diagnosis while showing only pictures of Wendy how we all remembered her last ….They could have even asked Wendy for her input and shared it in the documentary so that she could also feel included……There are so many Celebrities that suffered with Dementia and we never saw their families exploit them on TV during their darkest times (i.e. Bruce Willis, Bettie White, Barbara Walter’s etc) Prayers 🙏 for Wendy!
It was so heartbreaking.
This video made me emotional thinking about some of my own family. Thank you for being so open girl💕
Absolutely Heartbreaking!!😔🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯
She is being taken advantage of.
❤ I feel you, Ashley! That's all I have to say ❤
You make excellent points. Thank you.
