Wendy Williams, the renowned former broadcaster, has recently been extended an unexpected invitation from Brock Pierce, a former child actor known for his role in the iconic Mighty Ducks films. As Williams navigates her ongoing conservatorship battle, Pierce has publicly offered her an indefinite stay at one of his luxurious mansions, expressing a desire to assist her during this challenging time.
In a heartfelt message on Instagram, Brock Pierce shared his admiration for Wendy Williams, stating, “I have always admired Wendy Williams’ strength and resilience. When I saw her in need, I felt compelled to offer my support.” He emphasized how much Williams has contributed to the world, both as a woman and an entertainer, and recalled a previous occasion when he was a guest on her radio show. Now, he aims to extend a helping hand to an old friend in her time of need.
Although representatives for both Pierce and Williams have yet to respond to requests for comment from Entertainment Weekly, Pierce elaborated on his offer to PageSix. He stated his intention to provide Williams a sanctuary at one of his mansions, ensuring she receives around-the-clock hospital care following her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. “My offer is simple: a place where she can find peace, receive the care she deserves, and begin her journey to healing,” he explained.
Brock Pierce went on to declare, “Wendy is a national treasure, and it’s time we show her the kindness and support she has always given to so many.” Pierce's impressive portfolio includes several mansions located in Amsterdam, Puerto Rico, New York City, and Washington, D.C., along with ownership of a Portuguese ocean liner, according to reports from PageSix.
The situation surrounding Wendy Williams has become increasingly complex. In November, her legal guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, revealed that Williams was cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated. However, in a January interview, Williams denied these claims, expressing feelings of being imprisoned. “How do you prove it by keeping me locked here?” she stated, highlighting her frustrations about being unable to freely access the outside world.
In a startling incident on Monday, Wendy Williams reportedly threw a note saying, “Help! Wendy!!” out of the window of her assisted living facility, prompting a wellness check by the NYPD. Following this, she was taken to a hospital for evaluation. On Tuesday, during an appearance on Good Day New York, Williams emphasized that her primary goal is to be released from her conservatorship.
Brock Pierce, who rose to fame as a young actor in The Mighty Ducks in 1992, has since transitioned to a successful career in finance. After making his big-screen debut as young Gordon Bombay, he reprised his role in the sequel and starred in various films like First Kid, Three Wishes, and Problem Child 3. Following his departure from screen acting in 1997, Pierce ventured into the finance sector, founding numerous companies related to the video game industry and achieving significant success in the cryptocurrency space during the 2010s.
As the situation evolves, many are keeping a close eye on Wendy Williams and her journey toward healing and freedom.
