Wendy Williams‘ troubles continued to mount on Friday when the media personality asked a New York court to restore her access to a bank account containing a large sum of cash.
An attorney for the 57-year-old television host, whose health issues have sidelined her from her eponymous show since last summer, filed a petition 2 days ago asking a judge to force Wells Fargo to restore her access to an account holding “several million dollars.”
Williams has been locked out of the account for 2 weeks. Her petition said she has suffered “imminent & irreparable financial damage,” as a result.
“Wells Fargo’s actions & the actions of its agents have impeded & unlawfully prevented [Williams] access to her property,” the petition stated.
The bank previously told the court its agreement with Williams allowed it to “pause or reject instructions for a proposed transaction” if the company suspects “financial exploitation, dementia, or undue influence.”
In November, Williams’ brother denied reports that his famous sister suffers from dementia. Her attorney argued in their petition on Friday that Wells Fargo has exceed its authority, in part, because she hasn’t executed any transaction that would give the bank reason to pause or reject account access.
The petition requested that Williams’ account access be restored while she resolves her dispute with Wells Fargo via arbitration.
It asked the court to “reopen any frozen accounts or assets” & to let her access “any accompanying statements, currently identifiable as accounts and/or policies which contain funds that were removed and/or withheld” from her accounts within 48 hours from Friday.
