Wendy Williams is requesting Wells Fargo give her access to her money, saying in a video on Wednesday that the bank is not treating her fairly.
The former talk show host shared the video to her personal Instagram account. She accuses Wells Fargo of freezing her out of her own account and specifically spoke out against the actions of Lori Schiller, a national advisor for Wells Fargo Advisors in New York, as well as her ex-manager Bernie Young.
"My thing is that I've been asking questions about my money and when I began asking questions about my money suddenly Lori Schiller has got no response regarding my money. I want my money. This is not fair. And Wells Fargo has no questions and answers regarding my money," Williams, 57, alleges.
Williams went on to accuse her former manager Young of using "my American Express card to hire an attorney to file a petition against me."

Last month, Williams filed a temporary restraining order against Wells Fargo in order to access her cash.

"Wells Fargo’s priority is the financial well-being of Ms. Williams and the preservation of her privacy," the statement reads. "As we have expressed to the Court, Wells Fargo is open to working with Ms. Williams’ counsel to release funds directly to her creditors for bills historically and regularly paid from her accounts." Williams has denied that she was ever unable to fend for herself, and according to a statement from her attorney LaShawn Thomas to Fox News Digital, Williams "is fine" and "is of sound mind." Representatives for Wells Fargo, Schiller, and Young did not immediately return Fox Business' requests for comment. Fox Business' Julius Young contributed to this report. Source: Read Full Article
