Wendy Williams Accused of Owing $568k in Back Taxes on NYC Condo
Uncle Sam is coming for Wendy Williams. Documents obtained by RadarOnline.com show the federal government hit the beloved former television host with a tax lien over her New York condo to the tune of over $560k.
The legal paperwork — dated January 17, 2024 — alleged that Williams owes $568,451.57 in back taxes on the pricey property, which she bought in 2021 for a whopping $4.5 million. The feds warned her to pay up or expect possible penalties and interest.
“As provided by section 6321, 6322, and 6323 of the Internal Revenue Code, we are giving a notice that taxes (including interest and penalties) have been assessed against the following-named taxpayer,” the document recorded with the New York City Department of Finance on February 7 read.
The federal government also indicated it’s been trying to collect for a while.
“We have made a demand for payment of this liability, but it remains unpaid. Therefore, there is a lien in favor of the United States on all property and rights to property belonging to this taxpayer for the amount of these taxes, and additional penalties, interest, and costs that may accrue.”
Williams’ family insisted they were cut out of the court proceedings despite their concerns about her welfare. In the documentary, her son, niece, nephew, and sister expressed worry about the people the fallen star had surrounded herself with. Williams even implied that someone was taking money from her in one scene.
