In court documents, McCaw claimed that Williams had fired Schiller as her adviser due to alleged “malfeasance” involving her bank accounts as well as “improper conduct in relation to their professional relationship.” However, the lawyer acknowledged Williams “continues to rely on Schiller’s advisement.”
Bank and Schiller claim Wendy Williams “undue influence”
Wells Fargo attorney David H. Pikus wrote, “We are concerned about [Williams’] situation. It is our hope that the Guardianship Part [of the court] will imminently appoint a temporary guardian or evaluator to review the situation and ensure that [Williams’] affairs are being properly handled.”
Pikus argued that Wells Fargo “has strong reason to believe” Williams is a “victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.” He requested to keep the case “under seal” to “preserve the confidential nature.”
Pikus claimed Schiller had concerns and that “other independent third parties who know [Williams] well … share these concerns.”
Wendy Williams’ attorney wrote in response to the Pikus letter that Williams “denies that she is the victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.”
