This is the Latest with.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Laura La Rosa, and I'm the homegirl that knows a
little bit about everything and everybody. And today I am
bringing you guys an exclusive and this is our first
exclusive on the podcast. Yeah you know what I'm saying,
cause like it's real, We are bringing the first exclusive here.
So there's been a lot of conversation around, uh, Wendy Williams. Uh.
(02:47):
There was a ton of conversation around Wendy and if
she would be within the last couple of weeks, if
she would be taking a new capacity test or a
cognitive test. Now I broke the exclusive that Wendy after
being transported to a hospital here in New York from
where she stays at which is the codie. It's like
(03:08):
a she calls it a luxury Wendy calls it a
luxury prison, but it's like a it's like an elder
living space where she is on lockdown.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
The floor that she is on lockdown. So when she
was taken to the.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Hospital, she did a cognitive test where they asked her
things like who's the president today, what day to week
is it?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
What's your name?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Those type of things, and make sure that things are
just tracking for you and an exclusive that I broke.
Then I told you guys that Wendy actually had passed
that ten out of ten, So ten questions asked, ten
questions answered, ten questions asked, ten questions answered, and passed right,
and we released that story. Now, from what I'm being told,
(03:52):
you know, there's a not even what I'm being told
from what I've been reporting. The conservator, Sabrina Morrissey and
the judge who was over top of Wendy Williams conservatorship
have you know, sat down and had a conversation and said, look,
if Wendy is as miserable as she's saying, if she
is as capable of making these decisions on her own
as she is claiming we want to make sure that
(04:15):
we honor that. According to the judge and according to
the conservator, now Wendy doesn't feel like that. Wendy feels
like she's being taken advantage of right now. You know,
she's had some pretty like stark, harsh claims and that's
why judges like, uh uh uh uh, come back, comes
to at this table, let's have this conversation, let's figure
it out. And having that conversation, the judge determined that
(04:36):
it was necessary for Wendy to take another cognitive testing
or a capacity test or a test for you know,
how well is she able to make decisions, but also
testing to determine whether there's a frontal temple dementia or not.
This was also suggested by before judge said yeah, we
should do this. Sabrina Morrissey, who is currently Wendy Williams conservator,
(04:59):
had actually wrote a letter to the judge saying, look,
I'm being dragged through the mud. She's claiming things that
you know, it's not happening, how she's claiming it. I
propose that we paused the any lawsuit in relationship to
the doc that Wendy Williams had on lifetime and we
get another test, like, let's just you know what I mean,
(05:19):
Let's take this test. Let's get it out of here.
Take the test. Does she have the frontal temporal dementia
or not? Can she make her own decisions or not?
If she doesn't have it, If she's deemed that she
can make her own decisions, we'll step.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Out of her way.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Of course, Wendy will have assistance from the court, but
she can appoint new attorneys, a new conservator, all of
that stuff, right. So then Sabrina came out and she
gave quotes to various outlets and she said that Wendy
Williams denied.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Taking that test.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Now there was a quote in People from Wendy that
said she knew nothing about what Sabrina was talking about.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And more recent headlines.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Joe Takapina, who was the most He's an attorney for
Asat Rocky and his trial, his gun trial. He's also
worked with Michael Jackson like he's He's done some pretty notable,
well known cases like and won them. So Joe Takapina
has We've also had my Breakfast club too.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
It was a great interview, go watch it.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
He's decided to come on to serve as Wendy Williams
personal attorney. Now the goal and him coming on and
serving as his personal attorney, of course, it's to get
in on the guardianship. Like he wants to be the
attorney that is helping to make sure that this guardianship
is not taking advantage of Wendy. But from the way
that he breaks it down, it's levels to this. You
(06:37):
can't just come in and you know what I mean,
Like there are certain things that have to be approved
by judges and things of that nature. So while all
that is working out, he's agreed to be her personal attorney. Now,
in him being her personal attorney, I think that this
will definitely set you know, because she's had she's let
go of, you know, attorney's appointed by the court, bought
(06:58):
in a new it was like a black woman attorney
that she was super excited about. We broke that story
as well, and then we also broke the story that
Wendy decided to step away from that attorney even though
that attorney has still been acting in Wendy's favor. But
with Joe Takapina coming in, it's like it's about the up.
It like You're not about to be able to play
with Wendy at all. He did an interview with I
(07:19):
believe it was Newsweek. It wasn't in his TMD interview.
I believe it was in his Newsweek interview. It was
an outlet where he said, basically like I'm not even
trying to like shake the room.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
We just want Wendy to be treated fairly.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
We want her to have, you know, better, easier stipulations,
and for her to have more say so. But in
the midst of this, if that does not happen, you
know what I'm saying, like, I'm willing to do, you know,
kind of whatever I need to do, but it's big
business over here. Y'all don't want to see me in
that court room. He literally has said that in interviews.
So I spoke to a source close because with all
(07:57):
of this mounting up the way that it is, I
want to know did Wendy say no to that test
and if so, why, like why I say no? And
if she said no, what's the plan? What is going
to happen next? Because she needs that test for multiple reasons.
She needs that test because she needs to be able
to prove that she can make her own decisions. As
I mentioned, she needs to be able to prove that
(08:20):
she's cognitively aware and able to live somewhere that you know,
doesn't have certain stipulations and that you know what I mean,
like all that stuff, but also too just to kind
of at this point now figure out even how she's
going to control this A and E lawsuit for that
lifetime documentary that she's saying that she did not want,
because that is on stay and on stay basically means
(08:41):
it's on whole for three months until this test is taken,
and then once the test is taken, a judge will
determine who can make the decision of what happens next,
whether it's Windy or a conservator. So I spoke to
a source who would know, So it's very close to
the situation that told me that Wendy is not against
taking any testing. The thing here is is that Wendy
(09:03):
Williams wants to make sure that if she's going to
be taking a test that is going to be determining
whether she is, you know, cognitively impaired or not, whether
she has the dementia dementia that they are claiming that
she has or not. She wants it to be fair,
So she wants to get a third party independent evaluation done,
(09:24):
something that I honestly think is really, really smart, and
I'm gonna tell y'all why. She also wants to make
sure that whoever is doing the testing, when I say independent,
is not appointed by the judge, because they just want
to make sure there's no bias whatsoever. So the reports
that Wendy is not open to taking the tests are
not true. From everything I'm being told is that she's
(09:46):
open to taking it. She actually has a court date
coming up on May tenth, and on May tenth, they'll
be having a conversation about you know, the attorneys and
who will beware, but also that testing and wanting an
independent you know, situation or independent testing that is not
(10:06):
chosen or appointed by the conservator or the judge.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Now, I am.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Also told that if Joe Takapina is denied the ability
to work within Wendy's case, there will be legal lawsuits
that will happen against the setup, against the judge, just
because you know, rightfully, the way that you know this
whole thing is set up is like it should be
in the best interest of the person who needs the
(10:33):
guidance in the structure of the conservatorship, and Wendy does
not feel like this is that. So from what I
am told, lawsuits will fly if this does not happen.
So look, we're gonna stay lots and figure out what
and how that will end up once a tenth comes. Now,
in all of this, I started thinking, like, okay, so
(10:54):
if this cognitive test, this test was supposed to happen
like what like I wanna say, like two weeks ago,
and it hasn't happened. Right, A judge has decided we're
gonna hold off on this whole civil lawsuit over here
against a lifetime because.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
And for this test.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
What happens if this test just doesn't happen, like what
happens if in three months, because even though these conversations
are being had about whether Wendy's gonna take this tests
or not, you still have three months to figure out
and to submit testing and just different things in relation
to that A and E lawsuit for Wendy, because that's
how long the judge ordered for everything to hold as
(11:37):
far as that and that's not cut short because you
know they're trying to figure out attorneys and blah, blah
blah blah blah, like that three months. Even if Wendy
had took the tests today and the test results hadn't
come back for another four months, that three months is
still there, and they would have waited for that fourth
month to get those results to figure out what happens next.
Not saying that, you know it's possible, that's a long
(11:57):
time to wait. Sure, it's gonna move faster than that,
but I'm just saying though, like that three months is there,
it's up, and it stuck.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
So I started reaching out, and I actually spoke to ROBERTA.
Kaplan's office, who was the attorney working the AI lawsuit
on behalf of Wendy Williams and her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Now,
she told me.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
A few things, but I'm actually not going to discuss
that here. I want to have a conversation about that
in the room on the Breakfast Club. So make sure
you guys tune in to the Breakfast Club where we'll
be discussing how everything I just exclusively told you guys first,
you heard it here first, how that will affect this
grand any lifetime lawsuit that right now is centered as
(12:38):
Wendy Williams and her conservative versus Lifetime, and Wendy is saying,
y'all don't want this, so make sure y'all tune into
the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
To hear that.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And in final and in closing our last story of
the day, I told you guys, and I talked to
you guys about the viral video of the woman in
New York punching the reporter who she's not for abortion whatsoever. Now,
this woman, her name is Brianna, who punched the reporter.
It's very you know, for abortion and the right to
(13:10):
do so and woman's bodies and all of that in
a clash from everything that I'm being told right now.
Savannah Crane, who is the woman who was doing the interview,
the woman who was super you.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Know, pro life. Abortions are bad, abortions are wrong.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I did speak with her, and what she told me
was that currently she is exploring every option under the
law that is available to her.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
So she is planning to file a civil lawsuit against
Brianna for punching her on camera in that interview.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Because of the conversation that they were having, I asked
her if she had already obtained an attorney, where she
was in that process. If they're just having conversations, if
the attorney is officially retained or on retainer, you know,
money is paid, so things are moving, and she did
not want to disclose that at this time.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
However, she did tell me that they will be.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Planning to file a civil suit, but right now what
they're waiting for is they're trying to see if there
will be if there will even be at all, you know,
depending on how the police's investigation goes and arrest made,
and then from there they're going to figure out everything
else the lawsuit. And I knew when I saw the video,
(14:21):
my first thought was, regardless of whose side anybody sits on,
whether you think Brianna was right forgetting with Savannah, because
she said she was, you know, antagonized the whole time,
and that the full video you know, allegedly wasn't released.
And maybe that's something I'm gonna cass Savannah back to
and asks her about.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Is you know what's her response to.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Brihanna saying, hey girl, drop the whole video, Like, drop
the whole video?
Speaker 1 (14:45):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I watched a full video of sorts on Savannah's YouTube channel,
not just that fifteen second clip of or fifteen minute
clip of Brianna, the woman who was being interviewed, punching Savannah,
the pro life activist who was doing the interviews, and
(15:06):
I knew, I'm like, okay, a lawsuit is gonna come.
It's no way, it's no way. But I also I
thought that I watched the full video. But according to Briano,
who was the woman who was being interviewed and said
that she was antagonized, she said, there's more to it,
there's more video, and she's she's challenging Savannah to put
out that full video.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So tomorrow I'll be, you know, taking this to I'm
not real sure if I'll take this to the breakfast club,
and now I think I will, though we'll do that.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
We'll take this to the breakfast club as well too,
just to kind of ping pong it between the two shows,
and I'll be able to, you know, give you guys
another update in the realm of this, but also answered
the question of like, is there a full video and
where is it at if so, so.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
This has been the latest with Laura Le Rosa.
Speaker 3 (15:46):

the day, there's always a lot to talk about, and
you could be anywhere with anybody talking about it. So
