Wendy Williams has been locked out of the account for two weeks, court records show

Wendy Williams‘ troubles have continued to mount as the media personality seeks to regain access to a bank account that has a large sum of cash.

Attorneys for the 57-year-old television host, whose health issues have sidelined her on her eponymous show since last summer, filed a petition on Friday asking a judge to force Wells Fargo to unfreeze an account holding “several million dollars,” according to court documents obtained by theGrio.

Williams has been locked out of the account for two weeks, records show. Wells Fargo previously told the court its agreement with Williams allowed it to “pause or reject instructions for a proposed transaction” if the company suspects “financial exploitation, dementia, or undue influence,” the documents explain.

In November, Williams’ brother denied reports that his famous sister suffers from dementia.

Williams’ lawyers argued in their petition that Wells Fargo exceed its authority, in part, because she hasn’t suggested any transaction that should give the bank a reason to pause or reject account access.
