In the clip, Williams, who was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, could be seen sitting on her scooter while addressing some of the caregivers.
‘And then they both walked away leaving my s*** in the middle of the street like that,’ the star expressed in a frustrated tone while standing on the sidewalk of a busy street.
Wendy also seemed to be upset after the wrong car was brought to pick her up.

‘Just bring the car, please. Make sure it’s the right car,” he added as his team members tried to respond.
One of the podcast team members approached Williams and asked, ‘Wendy, what happened? What do they do?
‘They had the wrong car, so I knocked on the door and it was totally the wrong car. “They left my scooter while they were walking there,” he explained while pointing to an off-camera area.
‘Leaving the most precious, the most… this costs a fucking shit, son of a bitch. “They just left my shit out there.”
The incident apparently occurred when Wendy made the decision to leave the restaurant without the assistance of the scooter.
Members of her team then removed the scooter and she then accused them of leaving it unattended before heading to another location on the street.
The video then shows Williams once again speaking to his caregivers and telling them, “Bring the car here, not there, so I can easily go to the street to get the car.”
“They’re supposed to order the car, that’s what you’re supposed to do,” the star continued.

The podcast host, known as Stunt Lifestyle, explained at the end of the video that her son had taken out the scooter to allow her to walk alone while leaving the restaurant.
‘So I think, according to Wendy’s family, she was really upset about the disorganization and lack of attention. She indicated that the car was not nearby to make sure she was, even getting into the correct car.
“It was really complicated, so she was very angry and her family was very angry,” he added.
Last Thursday, Williams made a rare public appearance while attending her son Kevin Jr.’s, 24, graduation from Florida International University.
The former talk show host was seen riding her mobility scooter while wearing a dark gray sparkly sequin ensemble. She was also accompanied by her father, Thomas Williams Sr., at the event.
Photos from inside showed the mother of one smiling as Kevin Jr. received his diploma in a traditional blue college gown. At one point she also seemed emotional as she watched her only son take the stage.
The star shares a college degree with her ex-husband Kevin Hunter, to whom she was married from 1999 until her divorce was finalized in 2020.
Wendy’s son also gave an update on his mother’s health earlier this week on Monday after a guardian claimed she was “permanently incapacitated.”
Last Thursday, Williams made a rare public appearance while attending her son Kevin Jr.’s, 24, graduation from Florida International University.
Radio and television personality Charlamagne Tha God congratulated Kevin Jr. on his achievement on Instagram which started with Wendy looking healthy and happy.
Kevin Jr. took to the comments section to respond: ‘Thanks family! (three praying hands emojis) Let’s bring her home (crossed fingers emoji)’ and then shed a little more light on what her mother has been going through.
He added: ‘While I’m here, I’ll give my mom a quick update. She is sober and wants to go home. “We are fighting to make that happen because isolation is killing her faster than anything else.”
She was also recently spotted outside Fort Lauderdale restaurant Sista Sara’s Shonuff Oysters with her nephew Travis Finnie, although it’s unclear what day the clip was taken.
Wendy seemed to be in good spirits in the video, smiling as she received her food order. She was also heard thanking the workers.
The star’s dementia diagnosis came a year after she was placed under court-ordered legal guardianship that oversees both her finances and health.
Last month, lawyers for the star’s guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claimed in new documents that Williams “has suffered cognitive impairment and permanent disability.”
It was the latest update amid a legal dispute over the star’s tell-all documentary, Where’s Wendy Williams? – which sparked widespread backlash when it aired in February.

However, a family member responded to the claim about William’s mental state, saying, “She is clearer now than she ever was during the entire conservatorship, which is a problem for some.”
Where is Wendy Williams? was set to explore Williams’ life as she prepared to launch a new podcast, but featured shocking scenes showing the former host drinking vodka in bed and suffering panic attacks, sparking a fan backlash against Lifetime.
Morrissey is now embroiled in a legal battle with the network over the documentary.
Williams also spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com a few months earlier and shared that it was doing well, before also criticizing the documentary.
“I’m doing very well,” he said in October. ‘The documentary sucked. I understand he’s now nominated for an award. Everything is going very well.’
New York attorney Morrissey was appointed as her conservator after Wells Fargo froze her accounts in 2022, as a result of her financial advisor at the time claiming she was “of sound mind.”
In March, it was reported that Williams was allegedly paid $100,000 per episode for her participation in the four-part documentary series.

At the same time, it was revealed that William’s guardian had filed a lawsuit against Lifetime’s parent company, A&E Television Networks, with accusations of “blatant exploitation” in a “disgusting” manner.
In response, A&E Networks argued that Morrissey has “exceeded his authority” by attempting to change and redact parts of the documentary.
The American multinational broadcast company filed a countersuit alleging that Williams had signed a talent contract before becoming “mentally incapacitated,” as her guardian claimed.
The popular network also stated that there is no law against making a documentary about a subject with dementia so, in effect, even if a talent agreement was not signed, nothing they had done would be considered wrong.
The broadcasting company is suing Morrissey for attempting to infringe on A&E’s First Amendment rights, citing the example of Morrissey’s original lawsuit filed in February in which he attempted to get a judge to block the release of the original documentary.

Williams’ publicist previously criticized the Lifetime documentary for which he hired his famous television client.
Shawn Zanotti blamed the series’ producers, claiming the TV icon believed he was filming a show about his comeback, only for filmmakers to capture “a circus to his downfall.”
The Wendy Williams Show aired its final episode in June 2022 after 13 years, without Williams herself appearing.
He previously withdrew from the program in 2021 and embarked on what was initially supposed to be a temporary leave to deal with health issues.
