“Mighty Ducks” actor Brock Pierce says former talk show host Wendy Williams is welcome to come live with him if she needs to.
The former child star-turned-billionaire made the remarks while reacting to Williams’s ongoing drama with a guardianship she insists she doesn’t need. Williams, 60, has said she is mentally capable of making her own decisions when it comes to her health and money, but for now, the guardianship is still in place. She is living in a restricted assisted living facility in New York City while trying desperately to get out.
“I have always admired Wendy Williams’ strength and resilience, and when I saw her in need, I felt compelled to offer my support,” Pierce wrote in an Instagram update. “Wendy has given so much to the world as both a woman and an entertainer. Years ago, I had the privilege of being a guest on her radio show, and now I want to extend a helping hand to an old friend in her time of need.”
Pierce, who played the younger version of Emilio Estevez’s character in both “Mighty Ducks” movies in the early 1990s, owns multiple properties. He told Page Six that Williams is welcome to recover there instead of remaining in the facility where she is now.
“My offer is simple: a place where she can find peace, receive the care she deserves, and begin her journey to healing,” he told the outlet. “Wendy is a national treasure, and it’s time we show her the kindness and support she has always given to so many.”
The outlet noted that Pierce owns properties in Amsterdam, Puerto Rico, New York City, and Washington, D.C. He also had a Portuguese ocean liner.
Pierce, 44, retired from the industry in 1997 after appearing in several other films. He made his fortune by founding several companies related to the video game industry and has made hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency ventures, per Entertainment Weekly.
Williams has been making headlines as she attempts to regain control of her life. Earlier this week, she reportedly dropped a note from the window of the assisted living facility that said, “Help! Wendy!!” She was picked up by police and sent for a mental evaluation.
“I am not cognitively impaired but I feel like I am in prison,” Williams said after calling into the radio show The Breakfast Club in January. “I’m in this place with people who are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s. …. These people, there’s something wrong with these people here on this floor. I am clearly not.”
She continued, “Listen, this system is broken, this system that I am in. This system has falsified a lot. For the last three years, I have been caught up in the system.”
