Wendy Williams’ public plea to end her ongoing guardianship has caught the attention of an unlikely supporter.
Former child star Brock Pierce, perhaps best known for playing the young version of Gordon Bombay in the first two “Mighty Ducks” movies, is putting his money where his mouth is. The onetime actor-turned-Bitcoin billionaire has offered Williams a place to stay at one of his mansions, as well as extended health care, as she continues to fight her legal battle.
“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 post Wednesday. “Wendy has given so much to the world as both a woman and an entertainer.”
Pierce added that he “had the privilege of being a guest” on Williams’ radio show years ago and now wants to “extend a helping hand to an old friend in her time of need.”
Pierce, 44, began his career in the film industry in 1992, making his first appearance in “The Mighty Ducks” when he was 11 years old. The Minnesota native went on to star in films like “Little Big League” and “First Kid” before retiring from acting in 1997.

He later made hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency ventures after founding and funding dozens of companies. In 2018, Forbes listed him on their list of the Richest People in Crypto, with an estimated net worth at the time of between $700 million and $1 billion.
In 2020, Pierce ran for U.S. president as an independent and won just 0.03% of the popular vote. He also ran for a Senate seat in 2022 in an anti-establishment bid aided by Steve Bannon.
Williams, meanwhile, has been on a recent publicity blitz to end the court-ordered guardianship imposed on her since September 2022. She has denied the claims that she’s “permanently incapacitated” due to dementia and aphasia.
She says she feels like she’s been in a “prison” at the New York City facility where she’s been living, claiming she has no access to the internet, can’t receive phone calls, can rarely have visitors and needs approval to go outside.

It’s unclear which of Pierce’s mansions he has offered up to Williams. He reportedly owns properties in New York City, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Amsterdam.
