Wendy Williams’ former financial advisor, attorney LaShawn Thomas, is concerned about his former client, alleging that the famous talk show host’s health has seriously declined since she was placed under conservatorship.

The entertainment lawyer. posted an old video on Instagram On Saturday, Williams, 59, looks healthy while sitting on a bed and says she likes to work out at the gym.

“You know, I do what I can,” the former “Wendy Williams Show” host said in the clip, recorded by her son Kevin Hunter, Jr., as she flexed her muscles.

“You can clearly see the difference between Wendy’s well-being during her stay here in Florida with her son caring for her and her lack thereof in New York under this ‘guardianship,'” Thomas wrote in the caption.

“These Wendys are not the same. How did her health deteriorate so quickly and why is her only son not allowed to be by her side? She wasn’t like that when he cared about him.

The Miami Entertainment Law Group attorney alleged that she took this video of Williams two weeks before the court ordered her to return to New York to be placed under guardianship.

Thomas, who we’re told no longer works with Williams, then questioned the former radio DJ’s recent diagnoses of dementia and aphasia, writing: “If Wendy’s diagnosis is true, now more than ever, her son is owed allow the same grace. “He deserves it…and most importantly, Wendy deserves it.”

Williams’ current spokesperson declined Page Six’s request for comment, and Wells Fargo, the bank that requested the conservatorship, did not immediately respond to our request.

Williams’ family members have been open about the fact that they have not been able to keep in touch with the controversial television star amid his ongoing health problems.

“The people who love her can’t see her,” Williams’ sister, Wanda Williams, told People earlier this week. “I think the most important thing is: how the hell did we get here?”

Wells Fargo claimed in 2022 that Wendy was a “disabled person” and therefore needed help managing her finances.

“We are concerned about (Williams’) situation,” attorney David H. Pikus wrote on behalf of the bank at the time in a letter previously obtained by Page Six.

“We are hopeful that the Guardianship Chamber (of the court) will imminently appoint a temporary guardian or evaluator to review the situation and ensure that (Williams’) matters are handled appropriately.”

Wendy had been very frank about the fact that she was not in favor of guardianship.

Thomas also exclusively told Page Six in August 2022 that Wells Fargo allegedly left the media mogul to “die” when they took over his accounts.

The attorney defended Hunter, now 23, even then, telling us he tried to help his mother “both mentally and physically with the assistance of a team of doctors.”

However, Wendy’s conservatorship case was closed, and the “Wendy Williams Experience” alum has since cried about her finances in an upcoming docuseries about her life, claiming she “has no money.”

Most recently, Wendy spoke out to address her diagnoses and asked her followers for “personal space and peace” amid the difficult situation.

“The messages shared with me have moved me, reminding me of the power of unity and the need for compassion,” he said in a statement to Page Six on Friday.

“I hope other people with (frontotemporal dementia) can benefit from my story. “I also want to thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness about FTD.”

Wendy’s recent struggles will be further revealed on “Where’s Wendy Williams?”, airing Saturdays and Sundays at 8 pm ET on Lifetime.
