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.
Starting point is 00:04:53 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.
Starting point is 00:05:17 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,
Starting point is 00:05:49 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.
Starting point is 00:06:02 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
Starting point is 00:06:18 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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
Starting point is 00:07:04 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.
Starting point is 00:07:36 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
Starting point is 00:07:58 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.
Starting point is 00:08:24 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
Starting point is 00:09:02 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.
Starting point is 00:09:43 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.
Starting point is 00:10:06 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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
Starting point is 00:11:43 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.
Starting point is 00:11:58 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.
Starting point is 00:12:10 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.
Starting point is 00:12:24 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?
Starting point is 00:12:56 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,
Starting point is 00:13:12 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.
Starting point is 00:13:30 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
Starting point is 00:13:43 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
Starting point is 00:14:20 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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?
Starting point is 00:14:53 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.

News is real whether it's just a robin more just don't do no line. She don't spare nobody.
Starting point is 00:24:31 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.
Starting point is 00:25:02 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
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:48 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.
Starting point is 00:26:02 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,
Starting point is 00:26:17 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
Starting point is 00:26:40 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.
Starting point is 00:26:57 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
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:42 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,
Starting point is 00:27:58 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,
Starting point is 00:28:16 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
Starting point is 00:28:43 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,
Starting point is 00:28:58 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.
Starting point is 00:29:15 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
Starting point is 00:29:39 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
Starting point is 00:30:04 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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
Starting point is 00:31:18 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
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.
Starting point is 00:32:16 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
Starting point is 00:32:44 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
Starting point is 00:33:12 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
Starting point is 00:33:43 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.
Starting point is 00:34:09 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-
Starting point is 00:34:19 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.
Starting point is 00:34:30 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
Starting point is 00:34:49 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
Starting point is 00:35:21 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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?
Starting point is 00:35:43 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.
Starting point is 00:36:05 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.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:37:16 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
Starting point is 00:37:49 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
Starting point is 00:38:11 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
Starting point is 00:39:10 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.
Starting point is 00:39:44 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,
Starting point is 00:40:28 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.
Starting point is 00:40:52 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.
Starting point is 00:41:17 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.
Starting point is 00:41:43 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. That's your front page news on Morgan Wood.

Starting point is 00:41:56 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.
Starting point is 00:42:13 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.
Starting point is 00:42:23 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
Starting point is 00:42:55 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.
Starting point is 00:43:36 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
Starting point is 00:44:12 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.
Starting point is 00:44:32 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,
Starting point is 00:44:48 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
Starting point is 00:45:16 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.
Starting point is 00:46:01 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.
Starting point is 00:46:23 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
Starting point is 00:47:01 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
Starting point is 00:47:43 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
Starting point is 00:48:24 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.
Starting point is 00:48:39 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?
Starting point is 00:49:06 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.
Starting point is 00:49:25 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.
Starting point is 00:49:36 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
Starting point is 00:49:46 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
Starting point is 00:49:58 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
Starting point is 00:50:12 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,
Starting point is 00:50:35 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,
Starting point is 00:50:52 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
Starting point is 00:51:15 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
Starting point is 00:51:35 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,
Starting point is 00:51:55 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?
Starting point is 00:52:17 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.
Starting point is 00:52:30 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,
Starting point is 00:52:45 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.
Starting point is 00:53:03 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,
Starting point is 00:53:17 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?
Starting point is 00:53:35 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.
Starting point is 00:53:53 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
Starting point is 00:54:10 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,
Starting point is 00:54:45 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.
Starting point is 00:55:09 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?
Starting point is 00:55:38 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,
Starting point is 00:56:00 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?
Starting point is 00:56:16 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?
Starting point is 00:56:33 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.
Starting point is 00:57:27 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.
Starting point is 00:57:51 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.

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
Starting point is 01:02:55 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
Starting point is 01:03:41 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
Starting point is 01:04:07 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.
Starting point is 01:04:50 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
Starting point is 01:05:19 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?
Starting point is 01:05:53 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
Starting point is 01:06:11 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.
Starting point is 01:06:37 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
Starting point is 01:06:55 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
Starting point is 01:07:17 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,
Starting point is 01:07:38 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?
Starting point is 01:08:08 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.
Starting point is 01:08:38 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
Starting point is 01:09:05 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
Starting point is 01:09:40 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
Starting point is 01:10:11 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.
Starting point is 01:10:35 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,
Starting point is 01:11:02 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,
Starting point is 01:11:25 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.
Starting point is 01:11:43 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.
Starting point is 01:12:04 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.
Starting point is 01:12:26 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
Starting point is 01:12:49 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.
Starting point is 01:13:04 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.
Starting point is 01:13:18 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
Starting point is 01:13:43 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?
Starting point is 01:14:16 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.
Starting point is 01:14:45 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.
Starting point is 01:15:02 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?
Starting point is 01:15:30 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.
Starting point is 01:15:46 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
Starting point is 01:16:12 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
Starting point is 01:16:46 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.
Starting point is 01:17:12 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
Starting point is 01:17:45 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.
Starting point is 01:17:56 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
Starting point is 01:18:10 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?
Starting point is 01:18:38 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.
Starting point is 01:19:03 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.
Starting point is 01:19:29 I know it's up to Jess up here. Emotional right now. I was very crying. Jess Lares is crying. Yes. And pleased to her guardianship and everybody else. Y'all cannot hide Wendy. Do not hear this phone call and see this all in the news and think you're going to take
Starting point is 01:19:40 away her phone and you're going to isolate her. No. We know the address where she at. That's right. That's right. And we're We know the address where she at. That's right. Okay? And we're gonna stay on top of it. That's right. And we hope that she's, we hope to see her next month in Miami with her father celebrating his 94th birthday and her family. Do us right.
Starting point is 01:19:54 We hope that she gets to live in Miami as well. That's right. And star a podcast. That's right. On the Black Friday. On the Black Friday. Black Heart Radio podcast. You're such a dog, man.
Starting point is 01:20:02 I would never want that. I'm gonna be high last. I'm tired. Oh my God. Wendy, Alex, thank you so much. We love you. I love you. I love you. Bye everybody. Bye Wendy. Hey Wendy, Wendy. Yes? Come on, you know what you got, you can't just end with we love you, you know what you got to end with? How you doing? Shout it out.
Starting point is 01:20:19 Thank you so much. Bye y'all. 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.
Starting point is 01:20:30 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.
Starting point is 01:20:50 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,
Starting point is 01:21:04 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
Starting point is 01:21:39 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.
Starting point is 01:21:56 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.
Starting point is 01:22:16 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
Starting point is 01:22:45 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,
Starting point is 01:23:11 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.
Starting point is 01:23:27 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
Starting point is 01:24:00 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
Starting point is 01:24:22 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
Starting point is 01:24:51 800-585-1051 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.
Starting point is 01:25:26 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.
Starting point is 01:25:46 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,
Starting point is 01:26:04 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.
Starting point is 01:26:31 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.
Starting point is 01:26:48 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.
Starting point is 01:27:04 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.
Starting point is 01:27:19 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.
Starting point is 01:27:35 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
Starting point is 01:28:06 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?
Starting point is 01:28:21 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?
Starting point is 01:28:38 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,
Starting point is 01:28:51 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.
Starting point is 01:29:07 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
Starting point is 01:29:18 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
Starting point is 01:29:52 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
Starting point is 01:30:18 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
Starting point is 01:30:45 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.
Starting point is 01:30:58 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
Starting point is 01:31:22 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
Starting point is 01:31:51 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.
Starting point is 01:32:29 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
Starting point is 01:32:49 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,
Starting point is 01:33:04 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
Starting point is 01:33:32 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,
Starting point is 01:33:51 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.

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
Starting point is 01:38:39 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
Starting point is 01:39:06 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
Starting point is 01:39:29 885-105-1 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.
Starting point is 01:40:09 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.
Starting point is 01:40:32 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.
Starting point is 01:40:43 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
Starting point is 01:41:16 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.
Starting point is 01:41:49 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
Starting point is 01:42:05 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
Starting point is 01:42:45 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?
Starting point is 01:43:00 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
Starting point is 01:43:27 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.

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.
Starting point is 01:43:50 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.

Starting point is 01:44:16 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.
Starting point is 01:45:12 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
Starting point is 01:45:46 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.
Starting point is 01:46:03 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
Starting point is 01:46:30 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?
Starting point is 01:46:57 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?
Starting point is 01:47:13 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
Starting point is 01:47:25 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.
Starting point is 01:48:05 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
Starting point is 01:48:35 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.
Starting point is 01:49:05 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.
Starting point is 01:49:15 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.
Starting point is 01:49:31 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.
Starting point is 01:49:52 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?
Starting point is 01:50:09 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?
Starting point is 01:50:24 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.
Starting point is 01:50:35 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?
Starting point is 01:50:43 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.
Starting point is 01:51:00 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. when mister lewis now this is an issue hearing you have a right to remain silent and i

I am ready for a vacation. I am ready for a vacation? I am ready for a vacation. Don't threaten him with a good time. He's ready. He is ready. That's what I got for you. Throw me the boogie.
Starting point is 01:51:50 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
Starting point is 01:52:18 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.
Starting point is 01:52:50 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.
Starting point is 01:53:12 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?
Starting point is 01:53:45 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
Starting point is 01:54:17 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
Starting point is 01:54:49 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?
Starting point is 01:55:14 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
Starting point is 01:55:38 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. She's on Local 10 News in Miami, man. It's dope.
Starting point is 01:56:12 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.
Starting point is 01:56:27 Absolutely. Alright when we come back we got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ Envy Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here. It's time to get up out of here. Now you got to salute some people right because you went out last night.

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
