Britney Spears, who is no stranger to guardianship battles, is reaching out to Wendy Williams in her fight to leave her court-ordered guardianship.
As Meaww reports, the pop-singer was drawn to Williams’ heartfelt appeal, feeling compelled to intervene and take action. Spears’s 13-year-long conservatorship, which began in 2008 after a series of public breakdowns, was terminated in 2021.
Williams recently opened up on “The Breakfast Club” podcast, claiming she was being emotionally abused and held against her will.
“I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison,” Williams revealed, expressing her frustration and calling for help from her fans. The former TV host once earning millions from her self-titled show claimed she was only left with $25 amid her conservatorship.
“This is what is called emotional abuse,” she continued, per Page Six.
Spears reportedly took immediate notice of Williams’ situation and contacted the same lawyer who was instrumental in her conservatorship’s termination.
“While no one knows the exact reason the conservatorship was approved in the first place, Brit and her legal eagle are determined to get some answers and help Wendy as much as they possibly can,” insiders revealed per The Source.
Williams had entered into the guardianship voluntarily in 2022 to protect her finances amidst various health issues, including Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema. However, insiders and Williams herself now fear she is being exploited and abused by her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.
Friends and family of Wendy Williams have launched a GoFundMe campaign to help the former talk show host regain control of her life and finances. The campaign seeks to address the significant challenges Williams, 60, has faced since being placed under the court-ordered guardianship.
Both entertainers talked about being forced into mental health institutions. Williams told ‘The Breakfast Club’ listeners that she feels like she is “in prison,” and Spears told a Los Angeles court in 2021 that she was given a lot of psychiatric medications when she was there, per Page Six.
