Wendy Williams appeared in court on Thursday before Judge Lisa Sokoloff, who previously said she wanted to move Wendy to a different facility.
Sources tell TMZ that the judge told Wendy, her career is over and done with, and she has no hope of a comeback.
The judge allegedly went off on Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, accusing her of leaking information to the news media and threatening her with sanctions if she does it again.
According to TMZ, the judge also attacked Wendy’s family, telling them they were no good.
Then Judge Sokoloff talked about Wendy’s career, saying she will never have a career again — “It’s done.”
TMZ’s sources say the judge’s comments hurt Wendy deeply, and it was unclear why she said it.
Wendy recently retained high profile attorney Joe Tacopina to help with her guardianship battle. Tacopina previously represented President Donald Trump and rappers A$AP Rocky and Meek Mill in criminal cases.
It isn’t clear if Tacopina was in court with Wendy on Thursday.
Wendy has a history of medical problems and mental health issues that worsened after she learned her then-husband, Kevin Hunter, was cheating on her with another woman.
In October 2017, she fainted on the set of The Wendy Williams Show.
She struggled with alcohol and cocaine addiction over the decades. In March 2019, Williams revealed she had been living in a sober house for alcohol addiction treatment.
In January 2022 Wendy’s bank, Wells Fargo, froze her accounts after a family member made large, unauthorized withdrawals. The bank asked a judge to order guardianship over Wendy’s finances so she wouldn’t go broke.
