Hello, everybody. So welcome to Lemon Live at 5. We have a whole thing prepared for you. We're going to talk about what's happening in the world. But I want to put someone on who I am in her corner right now because of what is going on. And you guys probably know who that is. I just got a call as we were going on live right now with Wendy Williams. Wendy, how you doing?
Unknown 0:38
happy birthday and let me tell you something birthday man you just you just told me to get on with you on tv uh on on whatever this is but but you just told me a minute before i was supposed to be on i know i called you called right before and i said well hang on wendy we're gonna go on live wendy let me just like you could have told me this last night so when i wake up i am ready
Don Lemon 1:06
Wendy, do you remember calling me on Sunday and we got disconnected because the doorman and the food delivery guy disconnected us and I tried to get you back? I'm sorry.
No, no, no.
Unknown 1:16
But then again, you remember, I have a landline phone, so I can call you, but you can't call me. Because my guardian person has my phone, you know what I'm saying?
Don Lemon 1:27
Yeah. So, Wendy... Let me tell you this. I heard that you passed this cognitive test with flying colors.
Unknown 1:39
Yes, at the hospital here in New York. Yes, yes.

Who unexpectedly called into Lemon LIVE and why is Wendy Williams in a memory unit?

Unknown 1:44
Listen, I passed with flying colors. So what does that mean? Does that mean actually that I am not incapacitated? Well, yes, it does.
Yeah.
Don Lemon 1:55
Well, you sound good. I mean, I think most people will agree that you don't sound incapacitated. Now, let me tell you how. You know what?
Go on.
Unknown 2:07
Excuse me. Excuse me. Not only that, but it just happened, you know, yesterday that I passed with flying colors. However, you know, my friend Gina knows I'm not incapacitated. You know, my family knows I'm not incapacitated. You know what I'm saying? My friends know. I'm like, oh, my God. Really? This is what my guardian person has accused me of.
Don Lemon 2:30
Wendy, look, I'm going to bring in Gina. I want to bring in Gina in a second. But I just want people to know that you and I talk and we just have just conversations. And I never have an issue with you, like, forgetting things. Like, you remember things that even I don't remember from, you know, on the show or when I used to come on the show or when we would spend time in the Hamptons or what have you. And yet they have you on a memory floor. And I'm like, her memory is better than mine.
Unknown 3:00
Well, I'm at the hospital right now, and it's a memory unit, you know, where people don't remember anything. And I'm like, why am I there? And I don't want to go back there. Like, why would I have to do something like that? You know what I'm saying? And why would my guardian let me do something like that? I'm not intoxicated. And why am I on the memory unit? And why does it cost so much? It costs a lot of money.
Don Lemon 3:27
I want to talk about that because, look, we'll talk about what happened yesterday and all of those things. But, Wendy, this is a lot of money. I mean, I think what is your – to have a room at this place that you're in, isn't it like $18,000 a month?
Unknown 3:41
Well, $18,000, but that's cheap compared to – it's normally $20,000 to $40,000 a month for the memory unit floor.
Don Lemon 3:55
Oh, my gosh. Look.
Unknown 3:58
She's got all, she's got all of my money, my guardian person. And I'm saying, I got a few dollars and that's it.
Don Lemon 4:05
And so she has, she's in control of your money. No, and,
Unknown 4:10
I wanted to go to storage because all of my clothing, all my furniture, all of my everything is in storage. You know what I'm saying? And that's because my apartment in New York City, it's sold. You know what I'm saying? But she said the last time that I asked her to, which was about a month ago, look, she said, no, we won't be going to storage. Really? So what am I supposed to wear? It's about to be spring. Spring is sprung, darlings. What will I wear? You know what I'm saying? What am I going to wear? Winter clothes?
Don Lemon 4:40
Yeah. So, Wendy, so this whole thing is, and I'm sure Gina's going to probably want to talk about some of this, but I want to hear from you first. So, you know, what they're now saying is that this is sort of an adult or an adult abuse or elder abuse because they sent you, I understand, they allowed you to go to Florida to see your dad.
