Wendy Williams' brother criticizes her caregivers following viral video showing apparent negligence

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Wendy Williams' brother Tommy Williams Jr, and family members expressed concerns about her caregivers following a recent altercation when the former talk show host accused her caregivers of mishandling her transportation.

During her recent public appearance at her son's college graduation, the former talk show host got into a heated argument with her caregivers, per Ace Showbiz. The event raised questions regarding her health and the skills of her caregivers.

Wendy Williams' brother Tommy Williams voices concerns over her caregivers' professional skills

The former broadcaster's family came out against the impact that her court-appointed guardians and caregivers are having on her health. Her son, Kevin Hunter Jr, has been critical of them on several occasions for their poor protection of his famous mother.

Wendy's brother, Tommy, has expressed his worries, saying that the caregivers are "supposed to be professional" and that he doubts they can provide for his sister's needs.

According to Wendy's family, she isn't getting the best care available. Her sister, Wanda Finnie, claimed in a Lifetime documentary that Wendy has not been receiving proper care.

Similar worries were voiced by one of the show's producers, who questioned why Wendy could not have someone check on her every day and fill her refrigerator.

Wendy's brother Tommy discussed the matter in a recent interview on Friday, December 27. Tommy said he hadn't had a private conversation with his sister for a long time. She is surrounded by staff members and caregivers, per HotNewHipHop News.

"I haven't sat and talked with Wendy in ages. We sit and talk on the phone for hours. But I want to sit there and look at my sister and not have someone looking at me. So, anytime I see my sister, I'd tell others to kick rocks," Tommy said.

Tommy's annoyance came after the TV host reprimanded her caregivers for failing to provide her with the appropriate care after she left a Florida restaurant. "Just get the car please," she said to her team, before adding, "Make sure it’s the right car."

Wendy Williams addresses her caregivers

In the video captured by the 'We In Miami' podcast, Wendy Williams addressed her caregivers for their apparent carelessness. She said they brought the wrong car to pick her up and left her mobility scooter unattended.

"They got the wrong car, so I knocked on the door, and it was totally the wrong car. They left my scooter as they walked over there," she said at the time.

Wendy said, "They're supposed to be ordering the car," and demanded better treatment from her staff.

"That's what you're supposed to be doing. They wanna work for me. That's what they're doing. They're making money from me. Get the Godd**n car," she added.

According to Wendy's court-appointed guardian Sabrina Morrissey, the former host is "permanently incapacitated" as a result of primary progressive aphasia and early-onset dementia.

Wendy, however, seemed sufficiently lucid to chastise her caregivers for their alleged carelessness despite these allegations.

Wendy Williams' son Kevin Hunter Jr shares touching update on his mother's condition

Following Wendy Williams's attendance at her son Kevin Hunter Jr's graduation ceremony, the 24-year-old posted a touching update on December 19, on his mother's health after she made an emotional appearance at his college graduation.

Kevin wrote in an Instagram comment, "She is sober and wants to come home. We're fighting to make that happen because isolation is killing her faster than anything else."

Kevin Jr's commitment to his mother's welfare remains evident as he gets ready for graduate school and a career in law. The goal is still to bring Wendy home soon and to concentrate on her recovery for the time being.

In a photo obtained by PEOPLE, Wendy, 60, was spotted with her family, at her son's college graduation, in a motorized scooter that she had personalized with a front pouch featuring Chanel designs and a cup holder featuring Louis Vuitton monograms.

The former host of the 'Wendy Williams Show' and her ex-husband Kevin Hunter welcomed their first and only child, Kevin, in August 2000.

She and Hunter parted ways in 2019 after she accused him of fathering a child with a different woman, and their divorce was finalized in 2020.
