This sounds like the premise for a hit sitcom.
A Bitcoin billionaire and former child actor is offering to accommodate Wendy Williams in a mansion with “24/7 hospital care.”
Brock Pierce — who was featured in movies like “The Mighty Ducks” before becoming a cryptocurrency millionaire — claims he’s prepared to come to Williams’ aid.
“I’ve always respected Wendy’s resilience, and when I saw her reach out for help, I couldn’t look away,” he stated in a message to Page Six through a representative. “My proposal is straightforward: a place where she can find tranquility, receive the care she deserves, and embark on her healing journey.”
Pierce, who has previously guest-starred on Williams’ radio program, remarked: “Wendy is a national treasure, and it’s time we reciprocate the kindness and support she has always extended to others.”
This offer comes in the wake of Williams throwing a handwritten note pleading for assistance out of the window of her New York assisted living facility this week, which read, “Help! Wendy!!”
This prompted police to take the former daytime TV icon, 60, to Lenox Hill Hospital — where it was reported that her mental capacity was intact despite prior diagnoses of aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
The star of “The Wendy Williams Show” has been residing in the facility’s memory care unit while working to end a court-mandated guardianship.
A source close to Pierce elaborated on the generous offer: “Having previously appeared on Wendy’s radio show, Brock is profoundly touched by her call for help. He understands the difficulties she faces and is offering her a secure space in his private mansion, complete with round-the-clock hospital care and specialized medical attention.”
The insider added, “Brock’s intention is to assist Wendy in regaining her freedom and health,” while his private residence would “offer Wendy a safe environment where she can concentrate on recovery without the pressures of the public eye.”
Moreover, “This offer is a standing invitation for Wendy to take the time she needs to heal and discover peace in a setting free from the burdens that have weighed her down.”
It remains uncertain which mansion the entrepreneur is referring to, but reports indicate that Pierce, 44, owns properties in Amsterdam, Puerto Rico, New York City, and Washington, D.C., as well as a historic Portuguese ocean liner.
In 2021, he completed a $500,000 renovation on a 10,000-square-foot loft in the Beltway that he acquired the previous year from NBA star Dwight Howard, as reported by Page Six at that time.
The Post also noted that same year that he was converting a former East Village church into a modern rental residence.
In Puerto Rico, he previously owned a former W Hotel in Vieques and was reportedly transforming a 17th-century “monastery” turned boutique hotel into a private club.
Williams has likened her guardianship to a “prison,” but the attorney for Williams’ court-appointed guardian stated in a letter to TMZ that media reports regarding Williams’ alleged living conditions at the Lenox Hill facility are “false, incorrect, incomplete, or misleading.”
