Dark History 167: Wendy & Britney: Hollywood Hostages? The DH of Conservatorships
Apr 23, 2025

Hi friends, happy Wednesday!
I love Wendy Williams. She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and “she is the moment.” From 2008 to 2021 Wendy hosted over 2,000 episodes of her show, got an Emmy nomination for best host, and honestly gave us some of the best memes and clips of all time.
Then, in 2021, Wendy kind of… Vanished. No one really said what was going on. Just that she was dealing with “health problems.”
Turns out, Wendy was put under something called… a“conservatorship.”
Now this was allegedly to help her manage her life and money in this difficult time. But a lot of fans, myself included, were left wondering… who’s really calling the shots here? And is Wendy in trouble?
It seems like we only hear about conservatorships when it comes to celebrities. But after I did some digging… it turns out, it’s *WAY* more common than we think. So let’s get into it.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
I sometimes talk about my Good Reads in the show. So here's the link if you want to check it out. IDK. lol: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/139701263-bailey
