Wendy Williams hopes to 'get back to work in the most magnificent way'
Wendy Williams has revealed her career goals if she's able to "get out of her guardianship".
Wendy Williams wants to get back to work "in the most magnificent way".
The 61-year-old former chat show host has been embroiled in a battle to end her court-ordered guardianship - which she has been under since 2022 - as she seeks to leave the the Coterie in Hudson Yards living facility, which she has referred to as a "luxury prison".
She recently celebrated her 61st birthday, and told Page Six that she has an "obvious" wish in mind.
She said: "It’s obvious: to get out of my guardianship, and go back to work in the most magnificent way.”
Wendy marked her 61st with a dinner on July 17 at the historic Delmonico’s in Lower Manhattan, a day before her birthday.
The former Wendy Williams Show presenter, who has faced a series of public health struggles in recent years, arrived without her motorised scooter — a notable change from previous outings.
She told the outlet: “For my last birthday, I was in Connecticut with nothing but grass and trees.
“Nobody came to visit me in Connecticut. That was actually a good thing, because it was so bad I didn’t want people to see me there.”
Two of Wendy’s attorneys joined her for her birthday meal, along with her former producers from The Wendy Williams Show, Suzanne Bass and Brendan Higgins.
A source told Page Six: “She got emotional when she blew out her candles.
“Everyone seemed happy to see her and she looked amazing.”
Wendy was said to have appeared in high spirits throughout the night, dining on a lavish spread that included seafood towers, caviar, Caesar salad and filet mignon.
She was also presented with a birthday baked Alaska, and designer Zang Toi, who was also dining at Delmonico’s, took a moment to wish Wendy a happy birthday before leaving the restaurant.
Though Wendy has faced considerable personal and medical difficulties in recent years, the birthday outing seemed to reflect a sense of renewed energy and determination, according to insiders,
One added: “She was beaming and sans scooter.
“She’s confident her lawyers are going to get her out of (her guardianship.)”
