It has been reported that Wendy Williams' beloved penthouse in Manhattan has been sold by her court-appointed guardian. This marks the end of the former talk show host's ownership of the luxurious property in the Financial District. According to the New York Post, the transaction was finalized on May 10th. Records show that the 59-year-old was deemed incapacitated and in need of a guardian to make the decision to sell the residence.
An insider shared that Wendy's dream has always been to live in a stunning Manhattan apartment, but unfortunately, she never got the chance to do so. It's a very unfortunate situation for her. The penthouse, which boasts three bedrooms and three bathrooms, was sold for $3.75 million, which is a significant decrease of $822,000 from its 2021 purchase. Before the sale, Wendy bid farewell to the personal items that adorned the space, including her iconic purple chair used during her famous "Hot Topics" segment that garnered a massive viewership.
The news of Wendy's penthouse sale comes as she continues to battle health issues. In 2023, her medical team delivered a sobering diagnosis, revealing that she was dealing with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Adding to her troubles, reports surfaced earlier this year that Wendy was facing a hefty tax lien on her NYC condo, owing a staggering $568,451.57 in back taxes from 2019 to 2021.
Fans were given an intimate look into Wendy's personal struggles through a Lifetime documentary series titled "Where is Wendy?" In the series, she opened up about her financial struggles and admitted that she has "no money" left. This revelation came after her talk show was cancelled in 2021, and she was replaced by guest hosts until its final cancellation in 2022.
In February, Daily Beast reported that Wendy had expressed concerns about her team possibly taking advantage of the financial guardianship that was appointed by the court. Lifetime also released two other projects about Wendy's life, "Wendy Williams: The Movie" and "Wendy Williams: What a Mess." Wendy had hosted her popular talk show from 2008 until 2021, when it was ultimately cancelled. Despite all the challenges she has faced, Wendy continues to be an inspiration to many and remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
