Hollywood is rallying behind Wendy Williams in a fight that echoes Britney Spears’ #FreeBritney saga.
Comedian Luenell has joined the growing chorus of voices calling for Wendy Williams’ freedom, demanding that those in charge of her conservatorship simply “let her go home.” Days after Williams’ emotional call to The Breakfast Club, where she described her life as “f**d up,” Luenell spoke candidly about the heartbreaking situation.
Luenell Calls Out Wendy’s Conservatorship
Luenell, who credits Williams with helping her career, told TMZ that she wanted the talk show legend to know that the world still loves her and wants the best for her.
“We want her to get back with her family mainly—her niece, her father, her sister, her son—and we just pray that some kinda way they’ll be able to legally break her out of this jail because she doesn’t deserve to be in jail,” Luenell, 65, expressed emotionally.
The comedian didn’t hold back, likening Wendy’s living conditions to those of P. Diddy, who is currently awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. “We just don’t understand,” she added.
“Let Wendy Go Home!”
While some argue that Williams’ conservatorship team is simply “doing their job,” Luenell isn’t buying it. “Too bad,” she snapped. “I don’t care about the conservator. They’re the devil, and they need to let Wendy come back and get with her family. #FreeWendy!”
Williams herself confirmed the troubling details of her restricted lifestyle on The Breakfast Club, revealing that she isn’t allowed to leave, have visitors, or even take trips to see her loved ones. “Excuse me, where I am, you have to get keys to unlock the door to press the elevator to go downstairs,” she explained.

Fans Rally with #FreeWendy Movement
Supporters of Williams have taken to social media to demand justice for the former talk show queen. Many argue that Williams is not “cognitively impaired,” citing her signature quick wit that made her a household name.
In mid-January, a GoFundMe campaign titled “Support Wendy Williams’ Fight for Independence” was launched with a goal of raising $50,000 to help cover legal expenses. As of now, the fundraiser has garnered nearly $30,000, showing just how much love the public still has for Williams.
What’s Next for Wendy?
