Wendy Williamsis opening up about her life amid her absence from hosting her eponymous talks show.
To start, Williams said she is “absolutely” of “sound mind.” When determining a reason for such speculation on her health, she said: “When people want control of their accounts, they say anything, including something crazy like that about me.”
“[My] health is very well. And I’ve actually had a few appointments,” she continued. “You know, I’m 57 now and I have the mind and body of a 25-year-old.”
“They say that I need somebody to handle my account and I don’t want that,” she said. “I want all my money. I want to see all my money that I’ve worked hard for my entire life. My entire life. I don’t lie, I don’t cheat and I don’t steal. I am an honest, hard-working person.”
When asked why she believes her bank has taken such a drastic step, Williams said: “I want to spend more time with my family and, you know, working out and waiting for the responses to my money situation [with] Wells Fargo. And they don’t like that.”
