Comedian Luenell is taking shots at the conservatorship controlling Wendy Williams' life ... going as far as to call the TV personality's legal guardian "the devil."

00:00To Wendy Williams, and something that I'm sure would make her family happy, the fact that
00:04Wendy's friends are now getting behind the movement here, the hashtag
00:10FreeWendy movement, and we spoke to one of her close friends,
00:13Lunell, and the comedian is
00:17very upset about what she's seen, what she's discovered over the last
00:21week, which is that, one, Wendy is
00:24been held, she says, held prisoner
00:28at this assisted living facility, a senior facility in New York City,
00:33and also that Wendy seems very clear and not
00:41incapable and not... This is what I've been talking about for days.
00:44Yeah, and I know that you've been talking to Wendy for hours and hours and hours.
00:49Here's Lunell's take. I have no way to reach out to her,
00:53but if I could, I would just let her know the people out here love
00:57her, and we want the best for her. We want her to get back with her family,
01:02mainly, her niece, her father, her sister, her son,
01:07and we just pray that some kind of way they'll be able to
01:11legally break her out of this jail because she doesn't deserve to be
01:15in jail. Like, she's living in the conditions that
01:19Diddy's living in, you know, and we just don't understand.
01:23She wasn't hurting anybody but herself.
01:25Sometimes I feel like these conservators, the people in charge of them,
01:29you know, it becomes their job, right?
01:32I don't care about the conservator. They're the devil.
01:35Right, right, right.
01:35They need to let Wendy come back and get with her family, free Wendy.
01:40I totally disagree with Lunell when she says conservators are the devil.
01:44Sometimes there is a real function, keeping somebody alive, and I will tell you, and again,
01:50Britney Spears would have died were it not for the conservatorship and her father at the beginning,
01:56period. That's simply the case. She was heading for that.
02:00So there are times when it really makes sense.
02:03Amanda Bynes is another great example.
02:06Amanda Bynes is a great example.
02:08This case, we're going to have a lot more to talk about, I promise you,
02:12but I have spent hours now talking to Wendy Williams,
02:16and she's the same person that I talked to 10 years ago,
02:21and it may well be that she was off the rails because of alcohol two or three years ago.
02:29She's sober now, and when you're sober and you turn it around and you're okay,
02:34putting her in a place and essentially locking her up there is unbelievable,
02:40and we're going to have a lot more to talk about with this.
02:43Hey, I'm Kamara Doshi from Atlanta, and first of all, I think it's just sad and unfair.
02:48How is this situation supposed to help her emotional and mental health?
02:52Based on what Wendy said, her legal guardian needs to be reviewed,
02:55and they need to hashtag Free Wendy.
02:57I'm ready for her to sit back in her purple chair.
02:59We, her fans, we want her back in her seat, giving us the raw and unfiltered tea,
03:03and in her later years, being able to live her life.
03:05So I'm team hashtag Free Wendy.
