You gotta stretch before you go.
Exactly.
Speaking of, Top Dog was there.

Like it was, yeah.
It was lit.
Yeah, I can't do that.
Like you can't tell me, you know,

Not a few hours, but you can't tell me day of.
I got four kids.
I understand. It's
a whole thing. I understand. I can't do it. I understand. I got kids. They expect me to
help with this and this and that. I gotta make plans. My wife gotta get ready. I gotta

You fool right? Anything can happen. Rocko Muckshot should be a warning to us all. Take
your hat off. I'm good today.
He got it yesterday.
I got it sent to my barber tie.
I got it shaved a couple days ago.
Well, our last minute got it together
because Dave Chappelle was just excited to see him.
Dope, dope, dope.
All right, well, today on the show
is going to be a very legendary show for us.
Wendy Williams will be joining us this morning.
Very special show.
I want to tell y'all something, though.
Wendy Williams is joining us this morning. She's calling in and I don't want people to think that, you know, she's
calling in and she's in a good situation because she's not.
She's calling in because she has to. She can't come up here.
A lot of people think she's calling in to do Wendy that you see on TV and I think y'all
are going to definitely get a different side of Wendy Williams.
Yes. As I said last night on social media, you know, she's conservative,
Sipshin, guardianships should exist to empower and protect and support individuals, not to confine them in invisible prisons.
And Wendy is definitely in an invisible prison right now. Yeah. And she wants to tell y'all all about it.
You know, Wendy has always been very transparent, you know, with her audience and you know,
she it takes a lot for somebody like Wendy Williams
to even tell us about her predicament,
but also that she needs assistance.
Right, right, and if you know Wendy,
you know she's independent.
She does what she wants to do,
when she wants to do it and how she wants to do it.
So, if she can't, that's a problem,
especially when she is A-okay,
and you'll hear from that a little bit later.
You'll hear all of the tips, you'll hear.
The rumors you've been hearing about her
being cognitively declined and
incapacitated. I told you all a couple
weeks ago, not when I speak to her, but
we'll see. Correct. You'll see this morning.
7 o'clock. I'm excited for you guys to hear.
Alright. Alright, well let's get in some
front page. Oh, and her niece Alex Finney will be
joining her as well. Yes. Alex Finney is a
news anchor in Miami on
Local 10 News. Yes, and Alex Finney has her ish together. She knows what's going on and to the
to the tee. So yeah we'll talk to both of them in a little bit. Alright we got
front page news. Morgan will be joining us. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess and let's get in some front page news.
Good morning, Morgan.
Good morning.
And the Charlemagne and Lauren.
It's not just Thursday, but, you know,
good morning, let's get into it, though.
The 46th president of these United States, y'all.
He's down to his last days in office.
And in case you missed it, he addressed the nation last night in a televised
farewell speech from the Oval Office. Now, Biden warned of an oligarchy that is taking shape in office. And in case you missed it, he addressed the nation last night in a televised farewell speech from the Oval Office.
Now, Biden warned of an oligarchy that is taking shape in America and further spoke
about disinformation and misinformation on social media.
Let's hear those comments from President Biden.
Today, an oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that
literally threatens our entire democracy,
our basic rights and freedoms, and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.
Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation.
The free press is crumbling.
Editors are disappearing.
Social media is giving up on fact checking.
The truth is smothered by lies
toll for power and for profit
Any thoughts on that? Yeah
I think it's highly hypocritical for any elected official in America to talk about oligarchy when all of them have been puppets for these
Packs and you know corporate donations for years
You know that's something that you hear Bernie Sanders talking about and John Fetiman talking about how you got to take all of this
Corporate money out of politics.
You know, there's just, Elon Musk is just the person that's out there.
You know, when the EARN Your Legion was up here, I was liking an Elon Musk to Diddy,
which sounds crazy now, but what I'm talking about is the fact that he likes to be all
up in the videos, all on the records.
He's always tweeting.
He's the face of it right now, but this has been going on for years.
For a long time
Years what time did Biden speak last night? I didn't even know I didn't even know he was on I watched it for a minute like
Eight o'clock
Okay, so he also expressed concern around AI saying it's the most consequential technology of our time
He said unless safeguards are in place AI could spawn new threats to citizens and how we protect our nation. He said in the age of AI, it's more important than ever that we must govern
as Americans and lead, you know, lead in terms of what's going on with AI.
And his farewell speech, his farewell speech came hours after a ceasefire deal
between Israel and Hamas was announced that will see the release of American
hostages. He spoke shortly after Qatar announced the deal. Let's hear Biden's comments on the ceasefire deal.
Because at long last, I can announce a ceasefire and a hostage deal has been reached between
Israel and Hamas. More than 15 months of conflict began with Hezbollah's brutal massacre on
October the 7th. More than 15 months of terror for the hostages, their families,
the Israeli people, more than 15 months of suffering.
Israel will negotiate the necessary arrangements to get phase two,
which is a permanent end of the war.
Let me say it again, a permanent end of the war.
Well, we certainly hope that is the case. Now, Biden said the
elements of the deal are the same as what he laid out last
May. He added the agreement we'll see will provide
humanitarian assistance to Gaza. Meanwhile, checking in with New
York Senator Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, he spoke
about the ceasefire deal on the Senate floor yesterday. And
here's what he had to say.
A ceasefire will reduce violence in Gaza and harm to innocent civilians.
It couldn't have happened without steadfast diplomacy and until the potency of Hamas was
radically reduced.
Of course, any thoughts?
Yeah, I mean, happy for the ceasefire, but you know, if he could have got that done a
few months ago, definitely would have helped him in the election. Yeah I agree. Well speaking of the
election of course President-elect Trump is taking credit for the ceasefire deal
he says his election day win is it was key in the Israel Hamas ceasefire deal
struck. He wrote on Truth Social yesterday this epic ceasefire agreement
could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in November.
Trump said his win signaled to the entire world that my administration would seek peace
and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans and our allies.
The president-elect said he and his incoming national security team, which includes special
envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, will continue
to work with Israel.
So we will talk more about that at the seven o'clock hour about breaking it down as to
what happened on both sides, on the Hamas side and the Israel side.
And we'll further speak about what else is going on out west with the California fires.
I will say you get more accomplished when you stop worrying about who gets the credit
for it. You know what I mean mean it's just good that there's a
ceasefire period. I was watching you know CNN last night and that was the debate.
You know the debate was who should get the credit for the ceasefire? Biden is
it Trump? The fact that people are even debating who gets the credit is a win
for Trump to me. It is whack but it's definitely a win for Trump because I was
just reading some articles from Israel yesterday and they seem to be
giving the credit to Trump and you know Trump did say if a deal isn't done before I get in office, all hell's gonna
break loose.
All hell.
And the deal got done.
So to the eyes of the people, it's like, oh, okay.
All together now, all hell.
Is there a semi-check situation?
Seems like it, yeah.
As far as the political optics, yeah.
All right.
We'll see you next hour, Morgan.
Everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-585-105-6000. Things like it, yeah. As far as the political optics, yeah. All right.
We'll see you next hour, Morgan.
Everybody else, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again.
800-585-1051.
And also next hour, Wendy Williams will be joining us.
So don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Ray, Ray, Ray. Yo, Charlamagne. Givvy, what up? Are we live? The Breakfast Club. This is JV from Jersey City. JV from Jersey City, what up? Get it off your chest, brother. What's up, man?
I wanna talk about the IELTS, man.
Okay.
What happened?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, be respectful.
I'm definitely gonna be respectful.
Okay.
Okay, you ready?
Yep.
Okay, so what happened was,
I was working for a company
that was towing in Jersey City, right?
And what happened,
they started towing, stopped taking my taxes from me.
They started parking my money every week for five years.
So when I went to the IRS,
IRS told me that I owe them $28,000.
Damn.
And I said, and I said, and I said, why?
Why do I owe $28,000?
They said, because you wasn't paying your taxes.
So I said, how? They turned the screen around and they said because you wasn't paying your taxes. So I said how?
They turned the screen around and they said
you ain't paying since 2020.
What you want us to say sir?
I don't know what you want us to tell you.
Yeah, if the company-
Better pay them people they money.
If the company was doing that,
you should look at suing the company.
Cause if they took the taxes still out your check
and they kept it and didn't give it to the IRS
and you could prove that, that's not your problem that that's a
their problem well there's always two sides to the story and when it comes to
the IRS I tend to believe this side. But IRS is gonna give you money.
They don't care who gonna give it to them. That's what I've been working for that company since 2012 and I see every last
piece fell from 2012 and I did show that and guess what happened what nothing they said okay we
we either you don't owe us and that's it and so I did was I went to a lawyer and
I got a lawyer on him to try to get my money back and at the end of the day
you gotta wait so you don't you don't you don't owe the IRS anymore no I don't
owe no more but they dirty because if I was Wesley Stanks you know what I'm saying they'd have locked me up no it's totally two different situations to my knowledge I don't own them all but they dirty because if I was Wesley Stikes, you know what I'm
saying?
They would lock me up.
No, it's totally two different situations.
To my knowledge, I don't think Wesley Stikes wanted to pay them and was going to pay them.
Your situation is your business was paying the IRS and just stopped paying the IRS and
they were still taking that money out your check.
It's totally two different things.
It definitely was.
Well guess what?
What?
I'm going to get mine and I I'm gonna take out something too.
If you come to Jersey City and you're parking in Shop Right
or wherever you park at for like two seconds,
they're gonna take your car.
And guess what?
They're hiring people from off the street.
They pick your car up, break your ass and all that.
So don't, don't, don't, you know, don't leave the car outside.
They hiring fresh rookies from off the street.
All right, brother. Have a good day rookies. All right, brother.
Have a good day, bro.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Hey, man. Respect to you, man. Because you know, I'm bald just
like you.

I tried. No, no, no. I do like twice a week. I do at the top of
the week and then at the at the end of the week.

Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager
as you finalize the biggest contract in NFL history?
I'm AJ Stevens, Vice President of Client Strategy
at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion
in current NFL quarterback contracts.
Introducing the Athletes First Family Podcast,
the quarterback series. Along with my co-host Brian Murphy, Athletes First Family podcast, the quarterback series.
Along with my co-host Brian Murphy, Athletes First's CEO, we're pulling back the curtain
on how these historic deals come together.
You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape, the ones who
negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract
that sent shockwaves through the league.
This isn't just about the numbers though, it's about the untold stories behind these
massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua
Tunga-Valliloa, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First.
For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the
negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line.

Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy we are at a
breakfast club, Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess and let's get to Jess with the
mess. News is real whether it's just a robin more just don't do no line.
She don't spare nobody.
worldwide just worldwide.
On the Breakfast Club, the coacheship
I'm back
Alrighty, also the Drake lawsuit filing happened in New York. Drake filed a lawsuit for defamation against Universal Music Group.
It's a 20 page filing, so I can't get to everything, but I'm going to hit the important point
here.
So in this 20 page filing, it opens with a quote from Lucian Grange, who was the CEO
of Universal Music Group.
The quote is, a single lie can destroy a reputation of integrity. And while it takes years to build reputation, it can be ruined in five minutes.
And the reason why they start with that as the foundation of this lawsuit is because
Drake for all 20 pages is listing out every single like harmful thing that has happened
to him since not like us has dropped harmful. That's how he names it. Oh my God. Since Not Like Us Has Dropped, including
actual physical violence that he could have incurred
in financial harm.
So they get into the first couple of pages.
Now a couple of things that we learned in this lawsuit
within the first five pages that we didn't know.
Remember when the shooting happened at Drake's home
back in May?
Yes.
May of 2024.
People have been trying to figure out
since then was Drake home?
Drake was in the house according to this document.
He says that not only did the bullet strike the security
guard, remember the security guard got hit,
had to go to the hospital and all that,
but one came through his front door.
Basically saying like we were all in this house,
I could have been hit.
And all of this happened a few days after the song released.
He's blaming everything on the song.
That's very whack by the way, and I'll tell you why,
because Drake wasn't just going back and forth with Kendrick.
He was going back and forth with multiple artists.
And didn't the Weekends manager get shot?
Yes, something happened with the manager.
In California, right?
And then everybody, and then a few weeks later,
the shooting happened at the security,
the security guard with Drake, and they had an issue.
So why are you just pointing at Kendrick
and saying, not like us caused this?
I'll get to it.
So he details the fact that not only was he home, but he had to endure
what the security guard went through. He wasn't fit. He wasn't physically shot, but it was,
you know, it, there was like a mental distress almost, or like a stress on him because he was a
part of the people that they were trying to stop the bleeding on the guard. The ambulance took 30
minutes to get there. So it was a very tragic situation that he had to endure. And he's saying that they point this to the song because of the art on Not Like Us.
So they're saying that because-
Oh, the cover art.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Because this cover art was there.
Had a picture of his house.
Streamers used it.
He mentioned Kai Sanat and how Kai Sanat has all these millions of views using that art.
It exposed where he lived.
And then there's been harm because of that.
Everybody know about that big ass house in Toronto. Now listen, I will say this too,
in the document Drake team claims that before the they don't know if it was one
or multiple shooters, but before shots let off, they heard a person yell, can I
say that word? No. Okay, they heard a person yell F Drake, and then the shots
went off. So they're saying that this was targeted at him. And they believe it
was because of the song and they had the location because
It couldn't have nothing to do with other beef that he had going on with other people
I'm just telling you what this document says.
I know you can never say the f-word on radio
I can't even believe you have. I thought you were talking about the gay slur.
I was like whoa.
No, why would I say that?
I don't know. I don't know why you would say that.
Let's bring it on back.
Crazy over here.
Oh my god.
And then he talked about, so remember the next day
after the shooting, there was an intruder at his house.
He said that basically because of how big the song got,
which he says is, as a legend, is because of this whole
campaign that Universal Music put out around it,
people were crazy enough to the point where someone came
and dug a hole under his gate with their bare hands.
They've been doing stuff like that.
Remember when they did it,
Nodell Beckham was in his house in California.
They've been doing stuff like that to you, Drake.
All right, now when he gets into the viral campaign
that he's saying that Universal Music Group launched,
and he says that because of this,
people and not just rap fans
think that he's actually a certified pedophile,
and they use the exact quote, certified pedophile.
So they're using words from the actual song in this document a lot. Drake is also blaming
Universal Music for Kendrick being at the Super Bowl. He's saying that not only did Kendrick
and they do say in this document that just stop laughing because Kendrick isn't named on like
he's Kendrick isn't being sued Universal Music Group is but the basis of it is the song and he's
saying that Universal Music Group once the song was basis of it is the song. And he's saying that Universal Music Group,
once the song was released, and you know what I mean,
they got it moving, got it big through bots
and third party streamers and all this stuff
that they pay a lot of money for,
they then leverage their very powerful relationships
to make sure that this song was everywhere,
in commercials, on TV,
and that Kendrick secured the Super Bowl.
It was a very popular song though.
I'm just telling you what the lawsuit says, right?
It's the biggest song of the year. It's one of the biggest songs ever.
So you're telling me nothing Kendrick Lamar has done in his career ever.
Not the four classic albums, the Pulitzer Prize,
none of that had anything to do with him being ready to perform at the Super Bowl this year.
By the way, this is the second time doing it.
This first time headlining, second time doing the Super Bowl.
Well, it's not directly about Kendrick.
This is about, according to Drake, this is about Universal Music Group.
We got to stop saying that too.
Well, I'm telling you what the lawsuit
Oh, no, I'm with you. What you gotta stop it is instead
Completely about Universal Music Group and a company that Drake says decided to publish promote exploit and monetize a song
Which they knew contained false claims, right? So then they get into how
How they alleged that Universal Music Group manipulated the internet a little bit more
They said that Universal Music Group removed copyright restrictions on YouTube and Twitch. So that makes it easier for
content creators, streamers, anybody to be able to go on and use the song because normally-
Didn't they do the same thing for him?
Because normally, we're going to get into what Universal Music Group said in response to that
because they kind of said similar things. So what you're saying?
This is crazy.
They also mentioned the radio stuff. Remember, he said that there was like radio people that
were being paid to push the song that I need to know about Drake
Now you need to snitch
Hell tell tell tell tell cuz I think I know who it is and I don't want them here anyway
You really people like this in this business, what's wrong with you?
Wax yes, I do continue on ignore ignore him ignore him
Now they also mention euphoria and they say that if Universal Music Group at all tries
to deny that these claims are false, it was in the music that this stuff was false because
in euphoria Kendrick says, don't tell no lies about me, won't tell no truths about you.
So they're saying he was giving y'all the playbook of this is not true and y'all still
leaned in and allowed for this to happen knowing that this could hurt one of your big artists both physically hurt him because people were upset uh and accusing him of things
but also financially harm him now another thing that he talks about that i did not know he says
that there was like a mob like response to this right so people on the internet were upset people
weren't in person were upset there were uh flyers popping up around canada with him next to this
other guy who's been accused of like random sexual assault things as well. And it was just bad for, you know, locally where
he was living to the point where he says that after the shooting and different things he
had to move, he had to take his son out of school, put him in a different school and
move his son and his son's mom out of Canada completely once the school year ended because
he fears for their safety.
This is so stupid.
Now he also says that, remember there was a conversation that we found out that Drake
said that he tried to go to Universal Music Group and have a conversation before he went
public with any pre-action things, orders, lawsuits, whatever.
So they talk about this in a lawsuit and they say that he did.
They said that he went to Lucien Grange and they point out the fact that Lucien had also
been accused or mentioned in conversation when all the ditty stuff happened.
They moved swiftly to shut that down and do what they needed to.
But when it came to Drake and Drake being put in this pedophile light or whatever, he
went to him and said, yo, why am I not getting any help on shutting this down? they were like, if you move forward and do a lawsuit, you're going to look stupid.
According to the doc, he said that that was the response to him.
Like, listen, these are battle rappers.
This is hip hop.
This is rap.
This is what every artist before you that had that crown did.
We could go through Tupac.
He did the same thing.
We can go through Pusha T. We can go through Jay-Z.
We could go through Ice Cube. We can go through, of course, Kend same thing we can go through push a T we can go through Jay-Z we could go through ice cube we can go through of course Kendrick
we can go through Nas we can go through 50 cent J Cam Ron so common prodigy 50
cent Remy Ma Nicki Minaj nobody has ever easy eat nobody in the history of losing
a rap battle has reacted with more whole like Antigone Arby Graham but it's a
rap battle like you win you lose you can't you can't lose and then say I lost
and it's not fair what you said.
Do you do you do you go back and listen to some of these dis records and how disrespectful
they were?
Yeah and listen nobody wants to be called a pedophile or sex offender so in principle
I understand that.
Or have to move your son out of school and all that stuff as well watch somebody get shot that is absolutely something you know to
sue for in principle and I told you and months ago he would do that but in the
context of a rap battle where both of you were saying crazy things about each
other no no but you know you see but also he had the option of saying you
know what I'm not gonna do this like when when they did when he did like that
he could have just said I'm not gonna going to join in. But once you join in, Kendrick, you start going in and he's still going back.
You can't say, well, he came with a knife and I don't want to fight no more. No, Kendrick
warned you on euphoria several times. He said, it's going to go very, very far if you want
it to. As we, as we, as we wrap this, there's a little bit more to it. Um, but I just want
to say, as we wrap this hour right here, the people are really upset, not even about the
stuff that you guys are saying, but they're mad that like he named like a Kai
Sanat right and it's like but you called him while he was on stream and told him stay on stream
But you you mentioned him in this suit and it's like you're you're bringing that cause you trying to show the numbers that the people
That are actually seeing what's going on. But the sad thing about it is I'm a Drake fan, right? I'm a hip-hop fan
I'm a Kendrick fan
And then when you see things like that,
it really bothers me because rapping is a game,
it's a sparring game, y'all rap.
You win some, you lose some.
It's like if you're a boxing fan,
and then you lose the boxing match.
You can't be mad and say,
I'ma sue you cause you hit me so hard.
Boy, when Drake loses the support of the Bage,
you know it's over.
It's not because-
I mean, I've been watching him
lose support in the culture,
but now he's losing the Bage?
If Steph Curry turns his back on him, it's a wrap.
No, and it's like untanned too.
This is like, this is winter time, Envy,
so it's really personal.
It's sugar cookie Envy.
Yeah.
Cause I think he's acting like he ain't nice.
He still get, like the boy is nice.
I just don't like this stuff.
Like I'ma sue you because you said I'm this.
Yeah.
You know how many times I can sue Charlamagne
and many things he said about me that weren't true? You see it? That. You said I was gay. I don't think I start telling the truth about you
It's a problem. Leave envy alone. He's going through a lot this morning. All right
Drake and you got to turn into people. I'ma sue you next time you call me gay and I never called you gay
Yes, you did other people called you gay you repeat exactly because they told me you was gay
I told I told you that they think you gay I think you have first hand experience another story
alright y'all that's just with the mess for the first hour I've got
eyewitness experience Lauren I got you got something I got eyewitnesses see
Eli what you see you really want me to tell I'm gonna put it in a song I'm not
gonna just say it you more live if you just say I'm gonna put it in a song what
you didn't say and did you see it in the winter to summer you might not like us
right now, Brett.
Play not like us right now.
We gotta go.
We gotta wrap up.
Alright.
Up next we got front page news and then Wendy Williams will be joining us.
So don't go anywhere.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning everybody.
It's DJ NB, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Nugat.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now let's get in some front page news.
What up Morgan?
What up?
What up?
What up is that there is a ceasefire deal that has been struck.
I mean, we've been asking for it to happen and it has happened.
Israel and Hamas are in agreement on a ceasefire in Gaza and a hostage deal.
The news was announced by Qatar on Wednesday and State Department
spokesperson Matthew Miller said this is a very positive thing and he broke down
what happened regarding the deal on both sides.
Let's hear from Matthew Miller.
After the killing of Yaya Senwar,
something that the United States very much supported,
that delayed negotiations for weeks, well over a month,
because Hamas was not in any position to make decisions.
On the Israeli side, over time,
you've seen them meet their overall strategic objectives.
And so once they had killed Yaya Senwar, that really realized the last strategic objective
they had.
So of course, this comes as the two sides have been fighting for 15 months in the Gaza
Strip after Hamas attacked Israel on October of 2023.
The deal is set to go in effect on Sunday and includes Hamas releasing dozens of hostages in exchange for Palestinian
prisoners now the delegation from the US and Egypt and Qatar
Work to secure the end of the fighting president-elect Trump had reported or repeatedly warned that as we said earlier
All hell will break out if the deal wasn't reached before he took office and that is expected to happen on Monday,
January the 20th. Now during a confirmation hearing for Secretary of State, Florida Senator
Marco Rubio, who is vying for the job, spoke about the deal saying it is a positive thing.
Let's hear from Marco Rubio. Credit to both the Biden administration and the Trump transition
work side by side on helping this become about and I hope that comes about.
Part of that deal as I understand it is it has this very tenuous but important six week
transitional period where it's going to require international cooperation to bring some level
of stability in administration.
And as previously mentioned, Rubio is making his case to lead the State Department.
The confirmation hearing for Trump's cabinet pick got underway yesterday morning.
Let's hear some of the sound from Marco Rubio's
confirmation hearing yesterday as he vies for the job
for Secretary of State.
So while America too often prioritized the global order
above our core national interests,
other nations continued to act the way nations
have always acted and always will
in what they perceive to be their best interest.
In our very own hemisphere, narco-terrorists, dictators and despots take advantage of open
borders to drive mass migration, to traffic in women and children, and to flood our communities
with deadly fentanyl and violent criminals. Rubio said placing America's interests above
all else isn't isolationism, but the common sense realization
that a foreign policy centered on our national interests is not something out some outdated relic.
I agree and I love that Marco Rubio gave credit to both the Biden administration and
incoming president Donald Trump. It's a positive thing to see the ceasefire and like I said last
hour you get more accomplished when you stop worrying about who gets the credit for it. So I hope our elected officials, Democrats and Republicans remember that in the future, but they won't because that credit is what gets you votes.
Well, the Republican Marco Rubio, I will, I think it is important to note that he will become the first Latino to serve as Secretary of State if confirmed. Now, senators on both sides of the aisle to your point, Charlemagne signaled their support for Rubio, probably exactly for what you mentioned. And in California, Governor Gavin
Newsom is pleading for President-elect Donald Trump to visit the devastation, the aftermath
of what's going on in several neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Let's hear from Gavin Newsom's plea
to President-elect Donald Trump. and he posted this ironically on TikTok.
I don't want him just to see the damage.
I wanted to meet with the community and also want him to understand the
magnitude of what just has occurred and how heroic they were, how heroic
police sheriff officers were and the folks that were on the ground, how
heroic their actions were and how they save lives.
Of course, Newsom also says, like I mentioned before, the video was posted that were on the ground, how heroic their actions were and how they save lives.
Of course, Newsom also says, like I mentioned before, the video was posted on TikTok and he wants Trump to visit the area. And he also, of course, praised the first responders. Now,
Trump visited California in 2018 after the deadly campfire, which completely leveled the town of
Paradise in Northern California. And he told Newsom he needs to sweep the forest floor at that point
So we'll see what happens in this new administration meanwhile in California containment efforts are ongoing
The Eaton fires is at a 45% containment with all
14,000 acres burned while the Palisades fire is at 19% containment with 23,000 acres burned.
This remains 25 fatalities, I believe,
and an estimated 17,000 structures lost.
Now Los Angeles County Fire Department officials say
crews are using infrared technology
to find isolated heat sources.
On the perimeter of the Palisades Fire
and the red flag warning has expired as of last night.
Now potentially strong Santa Ana winds are expected to return next week, which could
bring critical fire and weather conditions into California again.
So again, we'll keep you guys posted as to what's going on out west.
But right now that's your front page news.
Hey, real quick.
Remember when I said a few weeks ago that Gavin Newsom, when he was saying
things like he wanted to Trump-proof California?
And I was like, yo, you know, I said that would backfire because what happens when you need
the federal government for something?
You are going to need the president for something.
So stop saying things and doing things that sound good.
And you know, they go viral, but they aren't realistic.
You're the governor of one of the
biggest countries in the, I mean one of the biggest states in the country and the biggest,
yeah the state with the biggest economy in the country. When a tragedy happens you're going to
need the federal government. So like you know you say things like I'm a Trump-proof guy,
why you gonna Trump-proof the state? You gonna keep the president out?
It makes no sense.
It don't make no sense.
But alright, but thank you Morgan. Alright thank you guys that's your front page news on Morgan Wood. Follow me on social The state. You want to keep the president out? It makes no sense. It don't make no sense.
But alright, but thank you Morgan.
Alright, thank you guys.

Talk to y'all later.
Alrighty, now when we come back Wendy Williams will be joining us.
We're going to be kicking it with Wendy Williams.
She's actually calling in because she can't leave
where she's at right now.
She calls it a upscale prison.
She is trapped in a conservative shit.
Yeah, upscale jail is what she calls it.
Simple as that.
She is trapped in a conservative ship.
She's trapped in a guardianship,
and she's calling in to tell us all about it.
That's right.
Don't go anywhere.
We're gonna talk to Wendy Williams when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
First of all, to start with, my niece Alex knows a lot as well, but I am not cognitively
impaired, you know what I'm saying?
No, but I feel like I am in prison, you understand what I'm saying?
I feel like I'm in New York City right and by
the way my apartment has been sold thank God you know a while ago but but I you
know I mean this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and
their 70s and even when people are 60 like me hey I'm sexy and gorgeous.
Look look look please July 18th 1964 1964 honey, but look, these people,
I don't care if they're 50 and 60, they have like, look, there's something wrong with these
people here on this floor. You understand what I'm saying? And I'm not saying something
bad. I'm just saying that I am with these people. I am clearly not, look, I have breakfast, lunch and dinner right
here on the bed, right?
I watch TV, I listen to radio, I look at the window, I talk on the phone.
And by the way, Alex, talk about this phone, please.
Alex, you've been right here where I am, so you know exactly what you're talking about.
You flew from Miami to New York and you were right here with me go ahead
Yeah, and you know what she's saying is exactly
What's happened? She's there in New York in this place
Essentially like what some would call a luxury prison, right? This is her room
That's literally her apartment, but the thing about this apartment, and you know this not, Wendy, because you're there.
It's small.
She has a bed, a chair, a TV, a bathroom, and she's looking out one window, a building's
across the street.
That's who my-
Excuse me, excuse me, and excuse me, through my money, you know, I had this person buy
the TV, you know, the kind of TV I like, a large TV, you understand what I'm saying?
Through this person, because all of my stuff is in storage.
You understand what I'm saying?
Everything's in storage, and by the way,
that was to sell my apartment, but anyway.
Is the person your guardian?
Is that who you're referring to, your guardian?
Yes.
Well, you know, Sabrina Morrissey is her name,
and right now, A&E Network,
well, A&E Network and Lifetime were sued by Sabrina.
She claims they exploited you in a vulnerable state.
They exploited your condition,
and I'm putting condition in air quotes.
You signed to do that documentary without your consent,
but A&E and Lifetime counter sued
and said that Sabrina realized the documentary
would question the quality of her own guardianship.
It actually says in the lawsuit,
it appears that Morrissey is misusing her position as a guardian of Williams, the silence criticism of her controversial
and failed administration of the guardianship. They even use the words guardianship abuse. What
do you think of that? Well first of all you know me and the person that you were just talking about
this guardian person we watched that four-part thing on TV together. She was the one who wanted to do that. You understand what I'm saying?
So I'm watching and writing things down and she's watching and writing things down and I saw her,
I saw all of that, by the way. And what do I think about being abused? Listen, look,
And what do I think about being abused? Listen, look, this system is broken. You know, this system that I'm in, you know, this system has falsified a lot.
They said you're cognitively impaired and you're incapacitated.
Do I seem that way?
No.
You've been calling me five times a day for the last two weeks. No, you don't seem that way.
How dare you, excuse me.
Who I naturally am is who I naturally am, you know what I'm saying?
And my niece knows all about that crap.
Oops, I'm sorry.
I apologize.
To be clear, you can't leave.
They won't allow you to leave or have visitors, family members or not.
So you can't even leave and take a walk if you wanted to or take a trip or visit family members. They give you
a difficult time for that and family members can't visit you?
Where I am, okay, you have to get keys to unlock the door to press the elevator to go
downstairs, first of all. Second of all, these people here, everybody is like nursemaids,
so to speak, you know what I'm saying they come in and
they give your pills you know what I'm saying and then they leave and I'm like
I told you not to take I told you don't take them pills excuse me I've had two
pills all of my life Alex you know what I'm talking about yeah you know exactly
what you're talking about there There are seven pills. I have
no idea what is this pill doing? What is it going to listen? I haven't been to a pill
person in a matter of long time, you know what I'm saying? To the point where, excuse
me doctor, can you tell me what this pill is for? Excuse me doctor, what pill do you
use? You understand what I'm saying? Look,
for the last three years, I have been caught up in the system. This has been three years I'm caught
up in this system. Alex, go talk. Talk, Alex, talk. I mean, for three years, this is the reality. This
has been our lives. So, but specifically her life. She can call us, we can't call her. That's been
the reality since 2023.
That room that she's sitting in, that room that she's sitting in, she's there every day, all hours of the day, every week, every month.
She's not getting proper sunlight. I went to New York in October to visit her.
And the level of security and the level of questions that there were in terms of who am I? Why am I here? What's the purpose?
I mean it was absolutely just
Horrible, you know Alex we sent Lauren LaRosa who works here on the Breakfast Club
You know, I connected her with Wendy a couple of days ago Lauren went up there
Yesterday and tell them what happened Lauren. Yeah, I was gonna ask you Alex. It was it like this for you when I got there
The people at the front were very aware that Wendy was there.
They had me sign in.
Her name was in the system.
They had to call Sabrina to even see if I could go up there, even though Wendy was on
the phone with me when I arrived.
And she let them know, hey, this is my guest.
I want to see her.
I'll even come down.
Please have someone bring me down.
Because as she said, she can't get in the elevator nor leave her room without them unlocking things for her. They were aware of that and
everything was fine and I was waiting. They called Sabrina a couple times and
she didn't answer the phone when they called and then all of a sudden things
just like flipped. These like men came out and they're like who are you and
what are you here for? I told them who I was. I told them I was there to see
Wendy. They said we don't have anyone here by that name. They never said to me.
Did you believe that?
No, I didn't make, did I not make it upstairs?
They basically told me, I didn't even feel comfortable
still being in the lobby, the way that I was treated.
Like it was insane, especially being as though
Wendy was on the phone with me when I walked in
and she spoke to the concierge herself and said,
I want to see this person, she is here for me.
And then these people are like, she's not even here.
What are you talking about?
And I'm like, I dealt with your colleagues
that had me sign in for her.
She's in your system.
So you're going to tell me she's not here.
Or did you speak to Sabrina as well?
Cause they said that was protocol.
You have to call Sabrina first.
We don't know Sabrina and we don't know Wendy.
She's not here.
They said that to me multiple times.
Wow.
And it's scary.
It's very scary.
Did you feel like she was in a safe space?
No, I feel like if you dealing with me like that and she's on the phone with you telling you like, this is, you know, it's scary. It's very scary. Did you feel like she was in a safe space? No, I feel like if you're dealing with me like that
and she's on the phone with you telling you like,
this is, you know what I mean, I want to see her.
This is my people.
God forbid something happens to her
and her family needs to get to her.
And I asked Wendy that as I was walking out,
I'm like, yo man, like I've dealt with,
my mom and my grandmother went through
medical stuff and a bunch of stuff, right?
I can't imagine not being able to get to them.
See my mother.
Right, and I said, is this how it is
when your family comes?
And Wendy's like, yes.
All right, we got more with Wendy Williams. When we come
back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody is DJ NV Jess
Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Lauren LaRosa is here with
us this morning. We're still kicking it with Wendy Williams and her niece, Alex Charlamagne.
You know, denying you visitation is illegal. Uh, Wendy, Alex, how do you feel about that
as her niece? Well, here's the thing. When I went to visit her out when, denying you visitation is illegal, Wendy. Alex, how do you feel about that as her niece?
Well, here's the thing.
When I went to visit her, when, and you know this,
I was able to get up there, it was not a problem,
but here's the thing, is that Sabrina,
you know, wasn't communicative, and that's her guardian,
wasn't communicative with me.
It was almost as if she was waiting
for the other shoe to drop,
so she could have a get you moment
when it comes with me, the family,
and how we move about things.
I mean, for someone that was, you know,
is so up in arms in terms of she can't be seen,
there was no security for her.
There was no, you know, layout in terms of a plan,
how this is supposed to work.
I mean, thank God, you know what I mean?
I knew pretty what to do, you know, and the trip was fine.
But this trip, unfortunately, came off the heels of in July with my aunt's birthday,
where I was supposed to go up there and spend her birthday with her, you know, and all of
a sudden, there was a lockdown on that.
And not only was there a lockdown on that in terms of me visiting, but with you, Aunt
Wendy, with being able to do what you want to do for your birthday.
Go ahead.
Yeah, no, for the last three three years. I spent my birthday by myself
You know what I'm saying, which which you know what I'm saying?
That's fine. That's fine
Just because I would rather spend birth by myself by myself
Then open the door and spend my birthday with these people on this floor like like
Look, this is what is called emotional abuse. You know
Like, look, this is what is called emotional abuse. You know what I'm saying?
You know, I would call it guardianship abuse as well.
And you know, you talked about it a little bit.
When you saw the documentary,
what did you think when you saw the documentary?
Cause that's what that got everybody,
at least the general public concerned.
What'd you think of that?
Do you know what?
What I thought about that was that's something that,
well, first of all, I don't wanna watch that again
until I get to Miami, until I get my life, look,
I don't care about watching that.
You know what I care about?
I care about, look, I don't wanna talk about that
just behind the scenes.
I get it, I get it, I get it.
But I do wanna ask Alex, you as well, so who would I get it. But I do want to ask Alex as well.
So who is putting out...
I do want to say Wendy can't say a lot legally.
Correct.
Yeah.
So don't think that, you know, when you hear her, don't think she's jumping around and
she don't know what you're talking about.
She can't say a lot legally.
And I was going to ask, who's putting out like the rumors?
Like, you know, because a couple of months ago we heard, well, Wendy's having this problem
and she's incapacitated.
Like...
They said she's cognitively impaired because of alcohol. She's incapacitated. She's suffering from dementia. Obviously, it's having this problem and she's incapacitated. They say she's cognitively impaired because of alcohol,
she's incapacitated, she's suffering from dementia.
Obviously it's not true.
So do we know who's sending out those rumors to the press
and to the blogs and all that?
Do we know, do we have any ideas?
I mean, allegedly from what we're able to see,
all of this comes from the guardian.
In terms of, hey, she's incapacitated, all that.
That's allegedly all the guardian.
I'm only just saying allegedly,
just obviously to protect all sides, but yeah.
You know?
Because obviously it's not true,
and the sad thing about it,
it gives her the ability to keep doing this
because we all feel like, oh, if that's the case, then yeah,
but listening to Wendy speak
and seeing Wendy a couple of weeks ago
at her son's graduation,
you understand that that's not the truth.
Listen, listen, as much as I want my phone, she can't let me have my phone.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I can call you but you can't call me.
You understand what I'm saying?
I don't even know what kind of phone this is that I have.
All I'm saying is that when I call you, you listen.
If you don't call me back, you can't call me back.
You understand what I'm saying? I can't sit on the phone, you know, and you don't call me back, you can't call me back. You understand what I'm saying?
I can't sit on the phone and look at things,
you know what I'm saying, and scroll through things.
I can't do that.
I do not have a laptop.
You understand?
I don't have an iPad.
My life is my life is my goddamn life.
You understand?
Yes.
How does this happen though, Wendy?
How does this happen, Alex? How does she end up in a
guardianship where you know these people have so much control of her life because
it's not like she does not have family. She has you Alex. She has her son Kevin
Hunter Jr. like she has family so how does this happen? I was gonna say you know what my
life you know and Charlamagne you know about my life, you know what I'm saying?
To get divorced was, as far as I'm concerned, was a 100% fabulous thing.
You know what I'm saying?
When I got divorced, look, I had this lawyer, I don't even want to say her beautiful name,
just because it was so great.
I've gotten a divorce like nobody else has gotten a divorce and I don't wanna talk about it,
but Alex, you know about that.
And Charlamagne, Charlamagne,
did I ever tell you about my divorce?
You did and I don't wanna know nothing.
I don't know anything, okay?
That man is trying to ruin me several times already.
No, no, no, no, no, look, look, it's bigger than that,
but look, look, look, look, when I, okay, when I got divorced, you're right, look, it's bigger than that, but look, look, look.
Look, when I, okay, when I got divorced, you ready, right? I moved to New York, you know what I'm saying,
as opposed to in New Jersey, I was solo,
just me and my cats, you know what I'm saying?
I got these two twin cats who, by the way,
my cats have been sold to, and I had no idea
until I talked to that person yesterday.
She told me that, look, I no longer have my cats.
Anyway, look, listen, I'm in New York, I'm solo, I'm still doing my show on TV, right?
And I'm still doing my show, but I'm still saying, okay, because to me, being on TV was,
for me, I'm not going to lie, you know, being on TV was, you know, for me, you know,
I'm not going to lie that that was about money. Radio is my route. You understand what I'm
saying? To be on radio to me is like God sent to me and I was doing such great stuff back
in the day. You know what I mean?
That's an understatement. What are you talking about?
We literally hear, me and Jess sitting here right now, Jess Hilarious is here, me and
Jess is sitting here right now, Wendy just like,
And I'm trying to figure out what, how you doing Wendy, this is Jess Hilarious. How you
doing Alex? What do you want people who are listening to this to know? We literally hear, me and Jess sitting here right now, Jess Hilarious is here, me and Jess is sitting here right now, Wendy just like, we're like-
And I'm just trying to figure out how you doing, Wendy, this is Jess Hilarious, how
you doing, Alex, what do you want people who are listening to do?
Like do you want us to tweet?
Do you want like, how can we-
Because a lot of us are here because of you.
How can we help?
Yeah.
All right, all right, too many people are talking at one time, one person talk.
My phone is like two-
Yes ma'am, this is Jess Hilarious. How you doing, Miss Wendy?
I wanted to know what you want people who are listening to do.
What do you want us to do?
Should we tweet?
Should we get on like, how do you, what do you want us to do?
Also Alex, what do you want?
Well, we've talked about this and that is there's the hashtag free Wendy.
There's also a change.org petition as well.
And also just just making as much noise as
possible you know potentially you know go fund me whatever we have to do to
make sure that my money is in prison.
That's right. That's right. And you know, I just want to underscore what you were saying,
Charlene, as well. And that is, this is still a legal situation. So yes, there are things that my aunt just can't talk about.
There are things that we as a family can't talk about.
You know, but I think that the thing that we can talk about is the fact that
my aunt sounds great.
I've seen her in a very limited capacity, but I've seen her.
We're talking to her.
This does not match an incapacitated person.
And she like, that's why we say she's in like a luxury prison
because she is being held and she is being punished.
You know what I mean?
For whatever reason that other people are coming up with
as to why does she ask to be kept in this position.
We're not asking, you know, for a whole lot.
And I'm gonna speak for myself.
I'm not asking for a whole lot.
All I'm saying is just treat the woman with dignity and give her the freedoms
that she deserves.
We got more with Wendy Williams when we come back 800-585-1051.

Breakfast Club, good morning.
Morning everybody, it's DJ NVEJASILARI, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Wendy Williams and her niece, Alex Finney. Charlamagne? Let's say what Wendy wants. Wendy wants to be released out of this conservatorship. She wants to be in Miami with her family,
with you Alex and with the rest of the family, her son. She wants to be in Miami. She's made this
known. She's told everybody she needs to tell. I don't know why it's not happening. I want to say-
No, no, no. Let me just say, and then you can go back to all of me. Let me just say
about Miami, okay? It started out with my parents to Miami. We're all from New Jersey,
but near New York. So you listen to Radio New York, you see Radio New York. You know
what I'm saying? Asbury Park, New Jersey, okay? That's where I was born, all right?
But then I moved up to Oceans Townshipship and then my parents were the first ones in the family that said, no, we're tired of the cold in the winter
and the ice. So they moved and this was years ago, you know what I'm saying? I was 27
when they moved to Miami. Anyway, the entire family now lives in Miami and
and look, my son, my son, my son is doing such a great job.
As a matter of fact, I saw him, look, he graduated and I was in Miami and that
was a few, about a month ago.
Alex talk about the great time that we had and seeing my dad, we all went at and
had like a party at one point.
Your dad's going to be 94 next week.
I mean, next month, right?
Listen, 94 that's a whole
other thing like I don't know whether I'm allowed to fly to Miami to say happy birthday to my dad
to get him. I want to get him. Look look look that person that you talk about who's holding me hostage.
Sabrina Morrissey your guardian. We gotta see her name. We gotta put her name out there. Sabrina
Morrissey. Well listen I don't know that she's going to let me because she already said to see my dad
for his birthday. You know, you're gonna be 94. And all I can look, look, look, look,
look, please continue to talk. Alex, go ahead.
Can I say something? You know, you lost your grandmother, Alex, Wendy, you lost your mother.
You were in the conservatorship when that happened.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, here's the thing.
She was not in the conservatorship when that happened, but that period of time was right
before.
And to know that she may not be able to come down here for my grandfather's 94th birthday.
Every day is not promised. One thing that I know that my aunt wanted and we talked about this at
Nausium, she wants to be here for his birthday and the fact that they are playing games about
my grandfather being able to see his daughter and my aunt being able to see her father, I'm sorry.
That is just absolutely sickening.
Like I'm exhausted thinking about what if I can't see my dad for his birthday?
At 94, the day after that is not promised. It's not promised.
I have things for my dad that's in storage and they're little things that I say, you
know, I'm not going to give it to them but I'm going to sew them and make them so that
they look perfect on me.
You know what I'm saying?
Yes, I know how to sew.
I've known how to sew for years.
You know what I'm saying?
But I'm saying, like I want to give my dad some sort of fragrance.
You know, I want to go to Sephora and pick and choose.
What?
My life is like f***ed up. I want to go to Sephora and pick and choose what?
My life is like
Yeah
Alex do you think you think
There'll be some type of retaliation from the Guardian because of this, you know, maybe this phone call or because yeah
Wow, we've talked about that. Mm-hmm.
You know, my aunt, even with her wanting to come on, we talked about all scenarios.
I said, you know, do this.
You're ready for what's on the other side.
And as she said, I have to do this.
There's nothing else I could do at this point.
She's prepared to the fact that her phone might be taken away.
What if they take my phone?
I won't be able to talk to anybody.
Yeah.
And you all, what you're hearing now,
this is a few minute clip of what
we've been dealing with for the last several months
and the last two, three years.
Wow.
Like, what the hell?
She can get moved, and we may not even know where she is.
That was the reality of where she
was during the documentary. We weren't permitted to go see her. So this whole documentary
aired. Nobody's able to call her. Nobody's able to see her. You know, the reason why
I was doing the stuff with the view in Good Morning America was because she was nowhere
to be found. In the meantime, you know, listen, here's the weird thing, right? And while they
were talking, while you're on the view, right?
I got the telephone number, I could call Joy Behar,
but my number is with the Guardian.
I could call my friend Rose Anoscato.
I could call Fat Joe.
I could call Alex.
My number is not in storage,
but my Guardian person has my phone.
Goddamn.
Alex, let me ask you a question.
Excuse me, has had it for three
years by the way. She's had your phone for three years and she got control of all your
bank accounts and everything? Wow, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, okay. That's what the news reports
say, the news reports say she has control of your bank accounts and everything. Besides
the Instagram and social media, who can we write? Do we have an email for Sabrina? We can email and just have people say yo what's going on?
What's up? But by the way... Can I tell you something? Other than when I was able to purchase
like a whole bunch of like I got like nail polish and lipstick and things like that.
Otherwise when because I'm here in New York, the guardian had somebody get me nail polish,
and you know, the normal things that I like.
I need a new hairbrush, please,
go out and get it for me and bring it back.
Oh no, this is not the one that I want,
but I guess this is the one that I'm forced to use.
You know, and you understand what I'm saying.
Oh my God.
What about eyelashes?
What about eyelashes?
Look, look, look, look.
I'm a full hair, makeup, and wardrobe person. You know what I'm saying? When I walked in the next day, she said, Yeah, what about eyelashes what about eyelashes?
She said she was stories up she saw me at the window she said is that a Chanel bag I said
Capacitated about that she spotted that bag from the floors up. Okay
Chanel with me, but I also have an Hermes with me right here. Who does he love labels, darling?
Cut it out, you got $15, cut it out.
Listen, Wendy's attorney, Linda Ryliski, I think that's how you pronounce her last name,
she made a contribution, this is what I heard, she made a contribution to the judge after
she was assigned to your case.
Really? Isn't that a conflict of interest, Alex? I would say so, yes. Yes,
absolutely. Absolutely. Oh my god. There you have it. Oh my god. Oh my god. And I'd be
happy for somebody to prove me wrong and tell me why. Wow. Give me the facts as to
why that's not. All right, we got more with Wendy Williams when we come back.
Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning
Good morning everybody is DJ NvJeselaria Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club Lauren and Rosa's here with us this morning
We're still kicking it with Wendy Williams and her niece Alex Finney Lauren Alex
I have one more question for you. I mean when you can chime in to how does this affect her health?
Cuz I know we we followed her journey with a grave disease and stuff like that
But like being emotionally distressed like this, that can't be good for her just
health wise. And that's supposed to be the point of the conservatorship. So what's that
like?
Yeah, I mean, you know, I mean, imagine you're sitting in a space every single day, you're
not getting sunlight, you're you're you're not able to leave to leave your place. You
can't see people you can't you can't just have free conversation, you know, you do this
day in and day out for months and years at a time, emotionally and mentally, that breaks
you down in ways that I can't even imagine.
I mean, we know that.
There have been stories written about that.
Can I tell you something?
And this is a fact.
Yeah.
I asked the other day, I said, listen, you know, my thyroid, you know, I want to go to
the person that I've been going to for years. I've got her name, you know what I'm saying, and that is who I want
to go to. Again, you know what I'm saying, because thyroid, thyroid I've had for 24 years.
I found out about thyroid, you know, around the time, well, at the time that I was trying
to get pregnant and my son is, my son is 24, so that's how I can, you know, tell, you know,
my thyroid. Anyway, um, um, and she told me that she told me that I wouldn't be going there
because my pill for thyroid is perfect.
The pill that I have for thyroid is perfect.
I'm like, okay, so what does that mean?
Look, this is my life, people.
This is my life, you know what I'm saying?
This is my goddamn life.
The bottom line is, my aunt hasn't had, we talked about this yesterday, she hasn't had, from what I'm saying? This is my goddamn life. The bottom line is my aunt hasn't had,
I mean, we talked about this yesterday,
she hasn't had, from what I understand,
a medical evaluation to see if her rights can be restored.
And it seems as though that instead of this guardian,
Sabrina, you know, working with her,
it seems as though she's made it difficult every which way
for my aunt to be able to live
any sort of healthy, independent life.
And you know, it's almost as if she doesn't want my aunt to show
that she's healthy and independent.
Because as we know about these guardianships,
and as my aunt has said, the system's broken.
Because the longer she's under this guardianship,
the longer they have the keys to her life,
for her personal, her financial, her emotional, everything.
And so that's the reality of the guardianship system.
It's overloaded. There's a reason why they're looking at reality of the guardianship system. It's overloaded.
You know, there's a reason why they're looking at the New York guardianship system right now.
There's a reason why lawmakers are calling on state leaders to reform this system.
It's because it's broken and it's a shame that we're in this place.
I know I'm getting really emotionally charged right now,
but this is how sickening it is and how tired I am of having to talk about this
and have these conversations
with my aunt.
You know, because it's not just her, you know, and thank God that we have platforms like
this that we can go on and we can we can talk about this.
But there is a lack of scrutiny across the board.
We know there's a lack of funding.
There are too few guardians for the amount of people under this system, you know, and
as a result, a lot of things go unchecked.
There's a lot of neglect, as well as,
obviously we know as well, financial exploitation
of some of the most vulnerable people.
That's the reality.
Those are facts.
It's written in print.
And my aunt is one of those people,
one of the over what, 28,000 people
under guardianship in New York.
She's one of those people that's under this situation.
So yes, this is about her.
Yes, we want her back.
Yes, we want her freed.
Yes, we want her to live with dignity
and be able to move on with her life.
But this, her story is a fight
that many other people are going through as well,
and they don't have the resources.
So imagine where that they stand at this point.
And that's why I'm so passionate about this, you know?
You know, enough is enough.
Alex, you bought up something that you know they bought up
in the A&E lawsuit it said the documentarians have not spoken positively
about Williams guardianship there's a bill in the New York Legislature right
now that's designed to curb guardian abuse and prevent guardians from
restricting access to family members that's what the executive producer Mark
Ford told Vulture in February 2024 I'm not sure where that bill stands, but this is a perfect
illustration of a family that wants to be in touch, wants to be involved, but for whatever
reason can't. So that's really the purpose of this phone call, just to let everybody
know that Wendy Williams is currently trapped in a conservatorship. And you know, she's
not cognitively impaired. She's not incapacitated,
she's just being taken advantage of.
You know, and also remember, I feel like I'm in prison.
I am definitely isolated, you know what I'm saying?
And to talk to these people who, like I said, who live here, that is not my cup of tea.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Absolutely.
I mean, they're good people, but I keep the door closed, I tea. Do you understand what I'm saying? I mean, you know, they're good people but I keep the door closed. I watch TV
You know to say I listen to radio, you know, and I watch the window, you know
And I sit here like that might as my life goes by you understand what I'm saying?
Yes, and you know what Lauren Lauren?
I want to say something because I did hear yesterday about you going and it was like the whole mess, which you just explained.
Yes.
That happened and the alarm bells started ringing.
That's when my aunt was told,
oh, and I'm paraphrasing here,
but your cats chit chat in my way.
And anybody that's a Wendy fan knows
how much my aunt loves chit chat in my way.
Yeah, I gave those cats away.
You don't have her anymore.
Oh my God.
Your dad's birthday? Your dad's birthday. Well, that's up in in the air. You're gonna have to talk with Linda
Like she's getting punished
Trying to be a normal person live about society and to live exactly so Alex I add they took her cats
person about society and to live exactly. So Alex, they took her cats.
Yes. So, so that's what she told me yesterday.
Right aunt Wen?
Yes. I had no idea that they,
I had no idea that they actually took my cats.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, I wanted my cats with me.
You understand what I'm saying?
And, and I actually, that's my friend Lauren.
I was saying, Lauren, you know what I'm saying?
You know, come, you know, about the cats.
Anyway, so my cats are gone, everybody.
And I did not know that until I talked to my guardian person.
And she told me that the cats, I said,
you mean they are gone, gone, gone, gone, gone?
Chit-chat, in my way, my twin cats, they're gone.
So getting rid of the cats won't let you possibly see
your father next month for his 94th
Birthday, she can't leave
Possibly what I'm what I'm getting at is all of this feels like some sort of retaliation because of you know
What you've been seeing the last couple of weeks. That's what I'm getting. Yeah. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god
My god. Oh my god. Yeah
That's that's what this is DJ envy by the way. Hi DJ Envy. Hey Wendy.
Wendy, I told Envy that you thought he was gay because you saw him on TV with
Tammy Roman.
Leave me alone DJ Envy. I remember that you came to me when I was doing radio
and you weren't even into radio at that point
Yeah, but you know what you and and Charlotte made good good things that you people are doing
You know what I'm saying? Good for you. Thanks to people like me
If it wasn't for you Wendy we wouldn't be doing the things that we do in NASA
We appreciate all that you have done and all the trials and tribulations.
Like we are on your shoulders. Like if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here. So thank
you so much.
Thank you for having big shoulders, Wendy.
Absolutely.
Big shoulders and a big latch.
Excuse me.
You know what? And thank you for that. Thank you for that. Anyway, continue to talk, Alex.
Hold on. I want to say this, Alex. I think we said enough. I just want this is a fuse.
This is a fuse that I wanted to light so I know it will explode and then we'll know what
to do next after this. Correct. And I want everybody that's in that system that Wendy
is currently in, I want them to know that we know what's going on. That's right. You
know what I mean? So she's not alone out here. You can't just isolate Wendy Williams
and make her disappear.
That's not gonna happen.
Yeah.
The last thing I want to say, Shamin,
just what you were saying,
is anybody that knows my aunt,
my aunt has always been a unique personality.
You know, that is who she is.
How she's talking now,
and how it's, you know,
she goes from one topic to the next
is equal to spin right back to the other topic.
That's right.
That's her.
So for
people that don't know her, maybe you're looking and you're like, huh, if you know her, which
she's known very widely, you know, that's who she is. Don't try to twist who she is
as if, oh, there's something wrong with her. No, no, no, no, no. You just don't know her
the way we do.
And not even that, Alex, all the stuff that she's been saying for years is coming to fruition
now. Let's talk about that to prove that she's not cognitively impaired
All that stuff she's been talking for years
Wendy you got fired from Hot 97 years ago because of Diddy all these years later to see where Diddy currently is
What do you feel about that situation?
Hey, hey, hey when I watch TMZ and I see the stuff that goes on I'm like, oh my god
And then all of a sudden I see me on TMZ, you know what I'm saying?
It's really weird seeing me on TV when I'm caught in this position, you know what I'm
saying?
The other day I was watching Cookout and there I am in the first opening scene, I was like,
oh my god.
Season 1, episode 13, there I am on Martin, you know what I'm saying?
And as far as Diddy, Diddy will go to prison for life, people.
You don't know things that I do about Didi back in the day
And you want to know what it's about time people it is about time
Didi done
This is just the first step of Minnie.
Alex, love you.
Wendy, love you.
Yes.
Yeah, Alex, keep fighting the good fight.
I know it's up to Jess up here.
Emotional right now.
I was very crying.

It's the Breakfast Club, good morning.
Morning everybody, it's DJ, NB, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy, we are the Breakfast
Club, welcome to the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning everybody.
It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne, the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa filling in for Jess.
Yeah, I was just about to do Donkey today and I was like, nah, you know, the phone line
is going too crazy.
I don't understand conservatorships.
I don't understand guardianships.
But I mean to see so many people, you know, not just Wendy Williams, have family members
that are trapped in these conservative ships
and guardianships is crazy to me.
I do understand what is done right,
when it's done the proper way and it's done the real way,
right, because they want to protect somebody,
but in this case, when you listen to Wendy
and you see how well she is with her family
and how loving her family is,
and you say something is right,
when she can't leave to get a hairbrush,
when she can't leave to go see her dad for her birthday when
she has to ask permission to go see her son for graduation it's like prison like
conservatorships and guardianships and I said this on social media last night
but they should exist to empower protect and support individuals not to combine
them combine them in these are prisons invisible prisons are luxury prisons as what kept saying. And you know, I'm glad she called because it's
just a reminder that these systems must be transparent and compassionate and
they should be designed to preserve your dignity like Alex was saying, not
just control you. And imagine how many people don't have because they're
trying to, like Wendy said, she hasn't had her phone in three years with all of her
contacts to be able to pick up the phone and just call people and get this out, right?
Imagine someone who is not Wendy Williams
going through the same thing.
And I think there was a free Britney situation
with Britney Spears as well.
And it got loud and people were like,
oh my God, he needs to trickle down to everyday people.
But then you see it happen again to a person like Wendy.
When I went there, I kept thinking to myself,
do they not understand, this is Wendy Williams.
How was this, like she can't, she is the people.
She can't come down and talk to people.
Like I just, it's really sad to see,
but hopefully her situation gets straight
because it's tough to listen to and watch.
All she wants is to be in Miami with her family.
And you know, that's what she wants to be.
She doesn't want to be trapped in,
trapped in this conservative shit, man. And we want to take your calls if you if you listen to the interview you heard the interview
800-585-1051 what are your thoughts the one thing?
I will say is yesterday last night when we posted that Wendy was gonna be calling and I'm looking at some of the calls
I'm speaking to some of the callers. You don't realize how many people are going through this
There are a lot of people that going through through this with their parents and they're saying
I can't see my mom, they won't let me talk to my mom, I can't visit my mom, I can't
take my mom on a walk in the park.
There's a lot of people going through this and it ain't right.
Even if you're involved with your parents, sometimes if you don't have a person on the
inside advocating for you, it's so hard to beat down the medical system.
It's not designed to help people even though it's supposed to help people.
You gotta know people, you gotta be maneuverable.
Again, this is Wendy Williams going through this,
and she's in this situation.
And we do have a call to action,
because you heard Wendy say she only got $15,
but that's because her money is all tied up,
because the woman, Sabrina Morrissey, allegedly has,
and I'm saying just allegedly for legal purposes,
has control of all her
bank accounts and everything.
Now, one thing I was going to say, my only fear is, I know Wendy said every time she
does something, she feels like they take something away.
Absolutely.
And I just, my fear is that because she's speaking out, that they don't try to transfer
her or don't take that one phone that she has or don't allow her to speak.
So that's why we have to be very loud as a culture, as a community. We have to be very loud to make sure they don't do
that to Wendy. And one thing they did do, but this is our son's story to tell, Slyuta Lokev,
you know, there was some retaliation recently because you know after his graduation there was
the whole video of Wendy at her graduation. Right. You know she was, we seen it. She was looking and
sounding just like she looked and sounded on that call just now.
And yeah, there were some people that didn't like that.
I'll say that much.
The guardianship didn't seem to like that.
So the call to action is simple, man.
There's a GoFundMe account.
It's in the bio on Breakfast Club's Instagram page
and it's in the bio on my Instagram page,
at C2Gods, C-T-H-A-G-O-D. And it it's in the bio on my Instagram page at see the gods ctha god and it'll be
a spin you can do my two video
There now YouTube videos premier now so it's pinned in the YouTube video as well
All right, so go there. I don't care if it's a dollar two dollars three dollars, you know, she needs money for
An attorney. yes in Florida actually
all right so we're gonna take your calls if you if you heard the interview you
have thoughts or you're dealing with something similar
800-585-1051 the only thing I ask you is this please take us off Bluetooth take
us off speaker because it sounds a little cloudy when you guys call us on
that and we're gonna take your calls live when we come back all right it's
the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are The
Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here as well. Now, if you're just joining us, Wendy Williams,
she called last hour and she was giving us an update of what's going on with her. Now,
her and Charlamagne have been talking about the guardianship and how it's been going.
Yeah, I mean, we've been talking about it.
You know, Wendy first called me during the holidays like right after Christmas while
I was on vacation and you know we've just been chopping it up.
We've been chopping it up very frequently over the last couple of weeks like you know
damn near every day.
And if you know Wendy Williams, man, she's a very prideful person and you know for her
to be number one, you know, letting us know what's going on with her but also you know
asking for assistance, you know what's going on with her, but also asking for assistance,
that's just a big deal.
And I mean, I think this is bigger than even just
Wendy Williams, conservative, sips and guardianships,
they should solely exist to empower, protect,
and support individuals, not to confine them to prisons.
That's right.
You know what I mean?
Like that's literally what I want everybody to get from
this phone call this morning,
to get from this conversation that we're having on the radio
Conservatives ships and guardianship should exist in power protect and support individuals not to confine them if
Invisible prisoners if so many people that have been put in this system
And they've just disappeared and the only people that know what's going on is their family and their family
You know may not have the way the way to get the word out. You know, the way that Wendy Williams does.
I mean, hell, Wendy didn't realize she had the way to get the word out because she got
her phone taken away from her.
She didn't have no way to contact people.
She had to call somebody to get my number to reach out to me.
And that was just because she remembered this person's number.
Because think about that, we all got phones.
This ain't like back in the day, Lauren.
You're 33, you don't know.
I remember a lot of different numbers.
I know numbers from heart, from growing up.
I know my mom and my grandma.
The only numbers I know is my mother's number,
Gia's mother's house, of course Gia's cell phone,
and my aunt's house, that's it.
I know my mother's number,
I know my grandmother's number
who's not even alive no more.
I know my in-laws' number,
from calling the house as much when I was a kid.
And I know my homeboy DJ Frosty's number by heart.
Other than that, I don't know people's number by heart
without looking in the phone.
So imagine you don't have a phone
and you can't get to that name.
She just happened to remember this person's number
for whatever reason,
and this person reached out to me to give her my number.
And that's how we've been communicating.
Well, if you missed it earlier,
let's play a clip of Wendy checking in,
and of course the full interview is on our YouTube page.
What?
I might not be able to.
Yeah.
My life is like, up.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's.
Alex, do you think, you think that there'll be some type,
there'll be some type of retaliation from the Guardian because of this?
You know, maybe this phone call or because yeah
Wow, we talked about that. You know my aunt even with her wanting to come on we talked about all scenarios
I said, you know do this you're ready for what's on the other side
She's prepared to the fact that her phone might be taken away
Yeah Compared to the fact that her phone might be taken away. What if they take my phone? I won't be able to talk to anybody. Yeah.
And you all, what you're hearing now,
this is a few minute clip of what
we've been dealing with for the last several months
and the last two, three years.
Now let's go to the phone lines.
We've got a lot of people that want to talk.
Hello, who's this?
Man, I just want to say, man, for the interview,
it was heartbreaking, man, when I interview, it was heartbreaking, man.
One of the saddest interviews I heard.
I was trying to ask about the call to action,
but you guys just mentioned it in your last segment.
But we never got the chance to hear,
how does this happen, man?
How did she get put in this situation?
I'm aware of how she got put in this situation,
but I don't-
It's not your story to tell.
Yeah, that's not my story to tell.
She didn't wanna tell it this morning
but hopefully she'll be having more conversations
about this.
Yeah man, I think, you know,
just what Wendy's been for the culture, man.
Just hope everybody can come together, man,
and we can get out of that situation.
Absolutely.
Well, go put a little something in her, go fund me, man.
You know, it's in my Instagram,
at C to God, C T H A G O D,
at Breakfast Club AM Instagram.
And when you watch the YouTube video later,
it'll be in the YouTube link.
Depends it at the top.
Thank you, brother.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Nikki.
Good morning.
Hey Nikki, just make sure you have us
off Bluetooth for speaker.
Can you hear me now?
Way better.
All right, now it says that you went through
something like this with your mom.
Correct, my mother has passed. She passed during COVID. The guardian tried to take my mother's body from the funeral home and to put her into another funeral home, which was, they have like their little group. They have nursing homes. They have federal homes. They have
that they particularly take these
the guardianship deals with and
they take
Everyone's money, especially the person that's the guardian
They look at the money first to see where they can get most of their money
And it starts with the judge because they give the judge the money also.
Wow.
I'm trying to take this to Congress because it has to be stopped.
It bothers so many people.
That's why I love Charlemagne because it takes a mental issue on the person that's taking
care of that guardianship.
Now also it said that Mayor Adams helped you, right?
Is that true?
Correct. That's when he was a
Brooklyn borough president
Because I wrote to everyone okay, and I even wrote to the governor governor Cuomo at the time
Gotcha, and they also helped me but it has to go to Congress
Okay, because they tried everything to take my mother away from me and they only
do this to people that has only one child.
Wow.
And Wendy only has one child.
Because if they have multiple children, correct.
That's right.
Correct.
Because if they have multiple children, it's more children to fight.
Got you.
Well, thank you, Nikki.
So if you're the only child, yes, please.
And please, guys, I love you guys, but that it has to be heard and it has to go somewhere
because so many people that don't have the
financial
Things to get through this they're gonna lose. Okay
Well, thank you
And if mayor Adams if mayor Adams is able to help her before he was mayor
Mayor Adams, I know you listen to the Breakfast Club if there's somebody that can help or you can point us in the right direction, please reach
out to somebody up here. Please. Hello, who's this?
I can't believe that we got Wendy Williams. Hello?
Yes, hello. Hey, Dominique, if you have us on Bluetooth
or speaker, take us off. Yes, I took you off. Hello, hi.
Good morning. Peace.
What's your thoughts, mama? Okay, so to be really honest
I really feel like this call should have never occurred
I'm a Wendy Williams fan, so I understand to advocate for her
But we don't know enough information as far as how the conservatorship works
You know, we don't she's not not saying that the guardianship has been treated her
so it's almost like we're demonizing that. In most cases in these type of situations,
you have to have a medical evaluation before they can judge, appoint a conservatorship.
And then they typically will offer a family member that's 18 or older, why are these people advocating?
And Alex sounds like she's in on it on her own with Wendy.
That's not true.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
hey, hey, hey, I love you to death,
but you really don't have all the information
because her son has been out here advocating for her
for a very, very, very, very, very, very, very long time.
Okay, so even in that sense, okay,
so I heard that I'm listening to Wendy on the line
and she don't sound like she's able to make decisions
on her own, so be by herself.
There's a lot of other options.
I don't feel like, you know,
it's as what they're presenting it to be,
is what I'm saying.
I have a question for you.
It's funny, it's always funny to me
when I hear people like this,
because she thinks she knows better than the person that's actually in the situation.
Her family members.
No, no, no, forget the family members.
This is my opinion.
I know, I know, I know.
I don't think I know better than anything.
Yeah, but the person that's actually in the situation, Wendy Williams, who's been calling my phone five times a day every day for the last three weeks, talking her son talking to her niece this isn't new like she's just literally been locked away in
a conservatorship and been wanting to get this story right like so she she
knows the situation she's in man not only that she's Wendy said I just want
to be able to go outside and take a walk I want some fresh air I want some sun I
want to see my father okay where anybody says you should be able to leave and see
your father
before he passes, he's 95 years old.
What are we talking about?
And I think Wendy will get to the point
where she'll figure out what her guardrails need to be,
whether it's help with whatever on a day to day
and who that should be.
But to have her pinned away from people
like how she is with no interaction
and it's just very limited and she's miserable.
And she can't tell the whole story, right?
She can't tell everything for legal reasons.
Right.
Let's take some more calls.

Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize
the biggest contract in NFL history?
I'm AJ Stevens, vice president of client strategy
at Athletes First, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion
in current NFL quarterback contracts.
Introducing the Athletes First Family Podcast,
the quarterback series.
Along with my cohost Brian Murphy, Athletes First CEO,
we're pulling back the curtain
on how these historic deals come together.
You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape.
The ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract
that sent shockwaves through the league.
This isn't just about the numbers though, it's about the untold stories behind these
massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tungo Vallilola,
and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First.
For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the
negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line.
Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or
wherever you get your podcasts. Morning everybody, it's DJ NVEJ Salaria, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club,
Lauren LaRosa is here as well.
Now if you're just joining us, we spoke to Wendy Williams earlier today.
If you are just checking in, we'll just play a clip of what she was saying about her situation
right now and the full interview is on YouTube if you want to check that out.
Take a listen.
This is my life people. This is my life, you know out take a listen. This is my life people this is my life you know what I'm saying this is my
goddamn life. The bottom line is my aunt hasn't had I mean we talked about this
yesterday she hasn't had from what I understand a medical evaluation to see
if her rights can be restored and it seems as though that instead of this
guardian Sabrina you know working with her it seems though she's made it
difficult every which way for my aunt to
be able to live any sort of healthy, independent life. And
you know, it's almost as if she doesn't want my aunt to show
that she's healthy and independent. Because as we know
about this guardianship, and as my aunt said, the system's
broken, because the longer she's under this guardianship, the
longer they have the keys to her life for her personal, her
financial, her emotional everything
So we're taking your calls
885-105-1 hello, who's this?
Part of SCU calling from brother upstate upstate upstate
So we're just asking you know what's your thoughts
and if you have us on Bluetooth or speaker we're saying please take it off. I'm thinking
more or less isn't this something like what's going on with Britney Spears? It was what
was happening with Britney. The only difference is though Britney's family was on the side
of the conservator. Here Wendy's family is on Wendy's side and the conservator here when he's on Wendy's side and the conservators on the other side.
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. I'll just say it. It looks kind of like a pattern.
But what I wanted to say though, this is the very reason people get their heads blown off.
You can't play with people's family. Jesus Christ. I love us for real. Like what?
Jesus Christ. All right. Listen, he's not wrong. Right?
We're not condoning violence or advocating violence.
But I get what you're feeling.
It's a feeling.
I get what you're saying.
Right.
Exactly.
That's all.
And I'm sure everybody feel the same way about their family.
You right.
You right.
But hey, it was great talking to y'all.
Shout out to the Breakfast Club.
Shout out to Greenville.
Shout out to everybody.
It's your boy, Hovdegard. And I'm out. See, one thing about South Catalonia is we're just very shout out to the Burpers club shout out to Greenville shout out to everybody it's your boy Hovdegard and I'm out. See one thing about South
Catalonia is we just very directing to the point. What do you think about the
situation? This is the reason people get their hand blown off. Jesus. Have a nice day man.
Peace to the God. Alright. Hello who's this? This is Carol from Manchester, Pennsylvania.
Hey Carol good morning what's your thoughts Carol? Um, I just feel like this interview got me emotional with Wendy
We grew up with her and she is on her right state of mind
Like my thing is have you guys seen a movie on Netflix? It's called I care a lot
I heard about that. My mom when I told her about it, she we watched that movie together and my mom was like
It's just like that movie we watched. Yes. Yes
It's a very emotional and I feel like Wendy needs to be free like I never heard of something like this in my life like what did she do and
to be honest before I forget Charlemagne don't be surprised if they block you
from talking to her after this interview. Yeah I know she Wendy already told me
that if I don't hear from her
for two days straight, I think she said,
yeah, two days straight and then something happened.
She told me that already.
Yup, yup.
And it's sad because Wendy is in her right state of mind.
We all are fans that we grew up with her.
We heard this interview and I got emotional.
I was crying in my car.
And it's sad what's going on with her.
They need to let
her go and that lawyer whatever her name is they need to investigate her because
when Wendy said that she asked for a brush what where do you get the brush
from the dollar store somebody needs to like see all the receipts on how Wendy's
funds is going is she getting rich by this? You know like what is going on like this is abuse and don't be surprised if Diddy is behind all this, okay?
Okay, all right. Thank you
Black and brown people we just gotta relax
Wendy Wendy Williams the woman the guardians name is Sabrina Morrissey and she is being sued by any and lifetime right now
If you heard me, you know, when we were discussing
with Wendy, I quoted what one of the executive producers said
and the executive producer even said,
this is guardian abuse.
So, I mean, I don't, this is what they're saying.
I'm just saying what they're saying
and what they're counter suing her for.
So, you know.
Now, again, so what is the call to action?
What can people do?
There's a lot of people listening
and I'm sure they wanna do something.
Do they write? Do they send emails?
Do they donate? What is the call to action Charlamagne?
Well, you know Wendy, Wendy wants to be in Florida. She wants to be in Miami with her family.
Her money is tied up with the Guardian. She doesn't have access to her money and you know, she wants money for an attorney.
So, you know, there's a GoFundMe link that her niece set up and it is in Breakfast Club AM's
her niece set up and it is in Breakfast Club AM's bio on Instagram and it's on my bio on Instagram, C2God, C-T-H-A-G-O-D and if you watch the video on YouTube the
call that she called it I think the full call is like what 40 minutes 45 minutes
like that. If you go listen to the call on YouTube the link to the GoFundMe is
also in the YouTube bio as well I don't even know how to say go how do you say
GoFundMe is on there how do I read it? Just say GoFundMe is also in the YouTube bio as well. I don't even know how to say, how do you say GoFundMe's on there?
How do I read it?
Just say GoFundMe and you would search.
But I don't wanna say just say Wendy Williams.
Yeah, I don't want, yeah, the one that people are donating
to says support Wendy Williams fight for independence.
And it's a picture of Wendy and Alex,
but the link is in my bio.
Should say something about who created it or who?
It says friends of the Williams family is organizing this fundraiser.
Yeah so go there but to be safe just go to the pin it's on a YouTube page just click
the pin and that way you know where you're going.
That's right.
Alright we got Jess with the mess coming up what we talking about Lauren?
We do we gonna get into some of the fire stuff in LA little Kim had some reactions online yesterday
She was wishing well, but it went really bad. She's speaking about the fires. All right, we'll talk about that next
It's the breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club
Morning everybody is DJ envy Jess hilarious Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Let's get to Jess with the mess with on the Rossa
On the Breakfast Club Alright y'all so you know we've been covering the fires in LA.
A lot of people giving back money Beyonce did 2.5 million.
I think it was Leonardo DiCaprio just donated 1 million via his organization celebrities
have been speaking out.
So little Kim yesterday or this week got online.
She was on X and she posted hashtag pray for LA and
then she reposted this. It's like a I guess like a story that she had posted. She put
it to X. She said, been sending strong prayers up for LA and everyone affected by the fire.
This is heartbreaking. I pray to Jesus that God make it monsoon in LA. Now here's the
thing a monsoon wouldn't have, I think she just
wants like rain.
Heavy rain.
Heavy rain.
Yeah, but to use the word monsoon, people were like, wait, what?
People knew what she meant, man. They got it. People got to stop with that. They knew
what she meant. They knew she meant, and then she wanted a rain storm to help with the fire.
They got to stop.
Somebody said, I get what she's trying to say, but this is wild.
Another person said.
A monsoon is just heavy rain. What am I missing here?
But because I mean I'm also needs heavy rain, but it also can come with win and win
But also to even if you bring heavy rain and win to LA y'all never heard of like the mudslides
It's like it's like that's a double win. Me. So you don't want that. I know what she meant stop man
I hate when people do that, you know what she meant
so so after this happened right monsoon started trending on a Google
Entertainment trends because I think all of us was asking what you guys like wait
wait ain't it just rain it's like looking it up it's like no it includes
wind and there's a dry monsoon there's a wet monsoon so we were trying to figure
it out yeah I don't know what the technical thing for monsoon was just
like you know sometimes when it's raining hard outside, I've heard that people are like, it's a monsoon outside. Yeah.
So she mean heavy rain. I don't know, man.
It's not funny because, you know, the fires are serious, but it just reminds me of like,
like if my mom gets on like Facebook, I mean, the stuff that she posts is like, mom,
like, what are you doing?
Stop.
They know what Kim meant.
They know what Lil Kim meant.
Come on now.
People just put it in the reason.
It's just interesting to me that people take things literal that they shouldn't take literal.
You know, but the actual literal things, they don't take literal at all.
What don't we take literal?
A million things.
Like what?
I can't think of it right now, but there's a million things.
I'm a part of the y'all on this one because I thought I was like, what is happening right
now?
You knew what she meant though.
I didn't think that.
Yeah. I know she wouldn't wish bad after the fire. So I wanted to, yeah, I knew what she meant though. I didn't think that. Yeah, I know she wouldn't wish bad after the fire
So I wanted to yeah, I know she meant alright
So in other news Conor McGregor right now, there is a lawsuit that was filed recently
Against Conor McGregor accusing him of sexual assault. So you guys remember back in 2023 Conor McGregor. There was a criminal
Criminal action filed there was a police report all that stuff there was a woman who said that after game four of the Heat
during the after the Heat's game four in NBA Finals that Conor McGregor
allegedly took her in a bathroom and sexually assaulted her right so this same
woman now has filed a civil suit against him it was filed this week she's also
suing the staff insecurity of the Casilla center.
Am I saying that right?
That's the arena where the Miami Heat play.
And she's basically saying that everybody was negligent because if you guys remember
her original story, she was saying that the way that security was set up, the way that
his security helped set up their exit to the bathroom, there was a video of them walk into
the bathroom that she basically had nowhere to turn and nobody to turn to because security
that was supposed to protect her did not and his security that was there she alleged that
they they helped set up you know the whole situation so yeah so he's declined the US
Attorney's office had declined to go forward with charges on the criminal side so she came
back with a civil suit yeah and I don't know Conor McGregor I feel like the negativity
just kind of like sticks to him
Yeah, we just know you could sue anybody for anything
Yeah, just because you're suing anybody doesn't make to make him guilty, but I'm sure we'll get more details later
So he wants to be loose. He didn't lose
So she she went to the police originally and then
Yeah, they decided not to go forward with charges. So then she went back and filed a civil suit.
Gotcha.
So yeah.
All right.
And then another and other court news.
Y'all remember we reported on Caitlyn Jenner.
I'm sorry.
Jess thought it was Caitlyn.
Caitlyn Clark.
Caitlyn Clark.
Okay.
And there was a guy that was stalking her that actually flew to Indianapolis and was sending her the tweets.
And she was so scared she had to change her identity in person.
So that guy actually went to court.
And this is wild. Take a listen to this man in court.
Morning Mr. Lewis. Guilty ass.
No. Guilty.
Sir, this is initial hearing. Oh.
You have a right to remain silent and I expect you to exercise that, okay? This is just telling
you what the charges are. You do not listen. I'll give you a chance to talk.
Not your time.
Throw me the bookie.
Stop talking.
Throw me the bookie.
You have a right to know what your charges are.
You're charged with stalking as a level five felony.
If God made a species funnier than humans,
then I have to see it to believe it.
I watched that video a lot for no reason whatsoever.
Guilty!
Humans are funny. But I mean, he was taking accountability though. But how do you not, how you, that video a lot for no reason whatsoever.
He was taking accountability though.
But how do you know?
Because remember they went to the hotel the first time and gave him like a warning?
He had to be kind of getting a little crazy in the morning because how you walk into the
judge like throw me the book.
Throw me the book.
He said guilty.
I'm here to check in.
He might have a boo in there.
Why are we wasting taxpayer dollars?
He's saying I'm guilty. Let's speed a boo. He might have a boo in there. Why are we wasting taxpayer dollars? This is what he's saying.
I ain't mad.
I'm guilty.
Let's speed this up.
I'm going to go back to sleep.
They're going to say he was very erratic.
One of the TV stations in Indianapolis said he was very erratic during his first court
appearance.
He was very calm.
He looked like he knew what he was doing.
He knew exactly what he wanted to say.
All I saw was accountability.
Okay.
That's all I saw and heard.
I watched that video like eight times.
Why so many times, man?
It was just funny.
The way he walked in and he leaned back. He said,
Give me that.
Well, I'm glad that he is where he's at so my girl Kaitlyn can feel like she's sitting all around.
Sound like he ain't got no money for lawyers. He's like, I'm done with this. Just put me in.
And then I kept trying to hear what he said because in my mind, you know what I thought he said.
What?
Throw me the boonky.
Throw me the boonky?
That's what I thought he said. Throw me the... what did he...
Throw me the boonky.
Throw me the boonky. Play it again. me to bootle.

Alright, that is just what the mess with Law and Law said.
Y'all always find a way to take it gay.
Me? He didn't sound gay to you?
He sounded erratic. He said he's been off of his medicine.
Alright, let's get to the mix. The People's Choice Mix is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
If you don't know what a conservatorship is,hip business when someone is in charge of making decisions on your behalf
But usually because the couldn't the conservatist is not able to make decisions for themselves
Wendy can make her own decisions. She is not cognitively impaired. She is not incapacitated
She's being taken advantage of right Wendy. Tell us what's going on
First of all to start with my niece Alex knows a lot as well, you know
But I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I'm saying? No, but I feel like I am in prison
You understand what I'm saying? I'm in New York City, right?
And you know exactly what you're talking about. You flew from Miami to New York and you were right here with me
Go ahead. She's there in New York, in this place, essentially like what
some would call a luxury prison.
This is her room.
That's literally her apartment.
But the thing about this apartment, she has a bed,
a chair, a TV, a bathroom, and she's looking out one window.
And excuse me, through my money, I have this person by the TV.
Is the person your guardian?
Is that who you're referring to? Your guardian?
Yes.
Well, you know, Sabrina Morrissey is her name. A&E Network and Lifetime were sued by Sabrina.
She claims they exploited you in a vulnerable state. They exploited your condition, and
I'm putting condition in air quotes. You signed to do that documentary without your consent,
but A&E and Lifetime counter sued and said that Sabrina realized the documentary would question the quality of her own guardianship.
It actually says in the lawsuit, it appears that Morrissey is misusing her position as
a guardian of Williams to silence criticism of her controversial and failed administration
of the guardianship.
They even used the words guardianship abuse.
What do you think of that? Me and the person that you were just talking about, the guardianship. They even use the words guardianship abuse. What do you think of that?
Me and the person that you were just talking about,
this guardian person,
we watched that four part thing on TV together.
She was the one who wanted to do that.
So I'm watching and writing things down
and she's watching and writing things down.
And I saw her, I saw all of that, by the way.
And what do I think about being abused? Look, this system is broken. This system that I'm in, you know, her I saw all of that by the way and
it's a link on the YouTube to her go fund me because she is raising money to
I think get an attorney in Florida. Correct. Yes
They get an attorney in Florida. So, you know, man, it's a it's a heartbreaking conversation simply because this is happening to so many people
I think that this story is even bigger than just Wendy Williams
Cuz I mean if it could happen to somebody like Wendy Williams
then you know it can happen to anybody and I was having a conversation with someone and you know somebody that
is in the system of the
guardianship conservatorship world and they told me straight up like when it
comes to somebody like a Wendy that system doesn't respect her meaning that
not only is she black not only is she a black woman it's like her job right it's
like what it's like when they look at her they like oh Wendy when though she
was just a gossip woman on the radio, the gossip woman on television.
So they don't necessarily respect her.
That's what somebody in the system told me,
but we respect them.
Right?
And so, like I've been saying for the past couple of days,
conservative civs and guardianships should exist
to empower, protect, and support individuals
not to confine them in invisible prison.
So, hopefully this leads to not just you know Wendy getting what she's
looking for which is to be down in Miami with her family but for anybody that's
locked away in a conservative ship you know or a guardianship that feels like a
prison and their family is trying to get a hold of them you know hopefully this
leads to some much needed change in that system. One of my homegirls hit me too she
said she heard you mentioned Mayor Adams and if he can get any help or whatever she said she reached out to somebody on his team so it's being
passed over to him and whoever else can help out just reach out. All right when we come back we
got the positive notice the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious
Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Lauren La Roces here, and again, shout out and salute to Wendy Williams and her niece, Alex Finney.
Alex does news in Miami.

It's dope.
Salute to Alex too, because Alex is dope.
I remember, I've known Wendy for 20 years,
so Alex was a kid when I knew her,
but literally when she was a kid,
she used to always say she wanted to do news.
She wanted to be a news anchor.
So to see her actually doing that is really dope.
So salute to Alex.
Absolutely.

for the tickets it was a great show like a great show probably one of the best
comedy shows I've ever been to. Donnell gets busy on that stage. Yes he do. Why you be
playing with him when he come here? Now I understand why he walks in here and
don't speak to us when he walks in. But one thing I always give Donnell credit
for is being one of the funniest people on stage and off stage. Donnell is just a naturally funny
person. We just like messing with each other. You know what I mean? Everybody always
be trying to act like I be messing with Donnell but they don't see what Donnell
