Wendy Williams’ troubles continue to mount. With fans still talking about her health issues and family drama, there are reports that she’s also dealing with serious financial consequences.
According to TMZ, the former talk show host is facing a tax lien from the federal government on her New York City condo. She reportedly owes $568,451.57 due to unpaid taxes in 2019 and 2021. She bought the property in 2021 for $4.5 million.
The outlet is reporting that “the lien was generated in January of this year, and was recorded with the New York City Department of Finance in early February.” While there’s no evidence the lien has been handled, it could’ve been resolved already. Williams’s guardian reportedly began working with her in Spring 2022, meaning she started after the tax problems.
As previously reported by The Root, the world was shocked when Williams’ care team announced that she’d been diagnosed with aphasia and dementia. The situation was made even more heartbreaking by the Lifetime documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?” It showed the media personality’s struggles, as well as her family’s issues with Wendy’s guardian.
Viewers called the project exploitative, leading them to question who was involved in approving the film. Producers claimed they just wanted to shine a light on the family’s problems with the guardianship system.
This revelation about her finances, along with her health battles and the constant headlines about her private life has fans wondering if Wendy can find some peace amid her various struggles.
If you’ve cared for a loved one with dementia, you know it’s important to keep things as simple and stress free as possible for them. Hopefully, Wendy is being protected from these public stories and rumors, because they are not what she needs right now. It’s crucial that the people around her manage her care without letting these issues become a distraction.
