Wendy Williams might have a safe place to go, after all.

The former talk show host is currently facing a contentious battle over her conservatorship after having been declared legally incapacitated due to frontotemporal dementia as well as aphasia.

Concerns for Williams' wellbeing arose recently after an interview with ABC News' Byron Pitts where she insisted that she was not "cognitively impaired," but is rather being kept inside a locked ward of an assistive living facility.

Most recently, she threw a note out the window that said "Help! Wendy!" After the NYPD showed up to investigate, Williams was taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation.

Now, former Mighty Ducks star and bitcoin billionaire Brock Pierce spoke up and publicly offered Williams a place to rest in one of his many mansions.


Pierce, who became well-known for his roles in the Mighty Ducks series, pivoted after his child-star years into a successful finance career that skyrocketed with cryptocurrency in the 2010s.

He owns mansions in four cities, as well as his own ocean liner, and he said in a post on Instagram and also in an interview that he wants to help Williams out by giving her a safe harbor in one of his properties.

"Wendy has given so much to the world as both a woman and an entertainer. Years ago, I had the privilege of being a guest on her radio show, and now I want to extend a helping hand to an old friend in her time of need."

People admired him for being so public about his offer.

Others shared their feelings about those who have placed Williams under a conservatorship.

Folks said they were relieved to hear his offer, after learning of her case.

People believe she needs to be protected and admired Pierce for offering.

Pierce probably doesn't have a direct line to Williams, but folks crossed their fingers that his offer was heard.

Brock Pierce is one of the good ones.


Williams' quest to remove herself from her conservatorship is front and center in the former talk show host's mind, and we wish her luck.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
