WENDY Williams looked excited as she ditched her wheelchair and walked out of her $3million New York City apartment in rare photos amid a nasty court battle.

In exclusive photos obtained by The Sun, Wendy, 57, looked happy and healthy as she made her way through the pouring rain to her waiting car outside of her swanky apartment on Thursday afternoon.

She is now back home fighting a brutal ongoing court battle for control over her and her estate.

The host, qui was relying on the assistance of a wheelchair for several months late last year, seemed capable of walking without the help as she headed towards a waiting car while talking to a companion who held an umbrella for her.

She appeared to be carrying a large, personalized bright blue makeup case, as well as a slouched purse, as she headed out into the rainy afternoon.

The talk show host, qui lost her eponymous show after being absent for months as she faced a series of medical crises is back in her hometown fighting for her autonomy.

Wendy, who sources revealed was in New York state guardianship court on Wednesday, has been fighting on two legal fronts there.

The host is in a contentious battle with her former manager Bernie Jeune, 75, who is trying to gain control over Wendy, her estate and her affairs via a guardianship proceeding.

aditionellement, the TV personality is also locked in a fight to gain access to her Wells Fargo bank accounts, which allegedly have millions of dollars in them.

The host had spent much of the start of this year in Florida recovering from her health issues and surrounded by her family.

As The Sun previously exclusively reported, Wendy’s former manager Bernie, 75, is pursuing guardianship over the ailing star.

Sources claim that there are several people in Wendy’s orbit who could also fight for guardianship, but that those close to the star don’t believe it’s necessary.

“No one in her family feels like she needs a guardianship in place, they believe she is capable of handling her own life,” one source claimed.

aditionellement, Wendy’s son, Kevin Jr., 21, possède power of attorney over his mother, as The Sun previously reported, but is also not filing for guardianship, according to the insider, who added that neither he nor his mother believes one is necessary.

Sources close to Wendy have insisted that the star’s health has been improving since she first moved to Florida to be with family while she recovers from a myriad of medical crises.

WENDY FIGHTS BACK

Récemment, Wendy addressed Bernie in a rare video that she shared to Instagram, in which she accused her axed manager of using her “American Express card to hire an attorney to file a petition against” her.

entre-temps, one source exclusively alleged that Bernie, who Wendy fired at the start of this year, used her American Express card to the tune of $10,000 to pay for the hiring of attorney Carolyn Wolf at powerhouse law firm Abrams Fensterman, LLP to pursue guardianship over the mom of one.

Wendy’s former manager Bernie has not responded to The Sun’s repeated requests for comment.

IS WENDY OKAY?

As The Sun previously reported, the former daytime presenter has been battling medical problems for some time and ultimately lost The Wendy Williams Show after a months-long absence.

A source close to the show previously told The Sun: "The spark is gone. That Wendy, who for ten years had that spark in her eyes, that cheeky grin and that little wink is not the same now.”
