Wendy Williams wants her guardian to “get off my neck!”
The former daytime talk show host called into “The View” for a pre-taped interview — exclusively obtained by Page Six — in which she got candid about her current conservatorship.
The interview kicked off with Williams, 60, explaining her hospital visit — and decision to get an independent psych test, which she says she passed with flying colors — earlier this week.
“I needed a breath of fresh air. I needed to see the doctor, so that’s why I went to the hospital,” Williams said.
Williams revealed she was also there to get bloodwork done for her thyroid condition, and made it clear, “it was my choice to get an independent evaluation on my incapacitation, which I don’t have it,” she said.
“How dare they say I have incapacitation. I do not!” she fumed.
Williams was whisked to the hospital on Monday after she begged paparazzi for help from her luxury living facility in Hudson Yards.
She has since been making the talk show rounds, calling into “The Breakfast Club,” “Good Day New York” and “The View” as she fights to be freed from her guardian, Sabrina Morrisey.
On Wednesday, Page Six exclusively reported on her dinner date with her niece, Alex Finnie, which allegedly got the star in trouble with the staff at the $18,000 per month living facility she’s dubbed a “luxury prison.”
“It was great at first… They got me at the hospital, and then — with permission from the guardian, of course — we left the hospital by ambulance, and we stayed [at the living facility] for about an hour, because we knew were going out to eat, just to celebrate life,” Williams explained of her outing.
“We went to Tucci, great dinner! There were paparazzi, so we stopped. That’s what I do. I stopped, posed, and these two people that work here… they’re downstairs waiting for me,” Williams said, adding, “I’m not permitted to do anything, but stay on this floor, memory unit.”
Williams has claimed the “memory unit” is for elderly clients, who are well above her age, hitting the 90-year-old mark. “I’m 60!… Why am I here!?” she said.
Sunny Hostin thanked Williams for giving her a start in media when she was her “legal eagle” during Williams’ radio days.
She asked the National Radio Hall of Fame inductee about her future in broadcasting, which Williams says seems impossible under her current guardianship.
“I’ve been doing important things all of my life and these two people don’t look like me. They don’t talk like me. They don’t act like me. They will never be me. I need them to get off my neck!” she said.
Williams appeared on the show with Ginalisa Monterroso, founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group.
An insider told Page Six the hosts were all happy to be with Williams again. “She’s a longtime friend of the show and everyone is wishing the best for her,” they said.
Williams’ full interview airs on Friday.
Morrissey’s lawyer has hit back at the former talk show host’s recent claims, in a letter to TMZ, calling them “untrue, inaccurate, incomplete or misleading.”
