‘Mighty Ducks’ star offers Wendy Williams a stay in his mansion

Wendy Williams has received an unusual offer from a former child actor.

Brock Pierce, who played the young version of Emilio Estevez’s character in the first two Mighty Ducks movies, publicly offered the former broadcaster an indefinite stay at one of his mansions in the wake of her conservatorship 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 on Instagram. “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.”

Representatives for Pierce and Williams did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly‘s request for comment.

Pierce told PageSix that he wanted to extend Williams an invitation to one of his mansions, where she can receive “around-the-clock” hospital care after she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. “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.

He continued, “Wendy is a national treasure, and it’s time we show her the kindness and support she has always given to so many.”

Pierce owns mansions in Amsterdam, Puerto Rico, New York City, and Washington, D.C., as well as a Portuguese ocean liner, PageSix reported.

After Williams’ legal guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, said that the former media personality was “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated” in November, Williams said that she is “not cognitively impaired,” but feels like she is “in prison” in a January interview. She reiterated those claims in an interview with ABC News’ Byron Pitts last month. “How do you prove it by keeping me locked here? Look, I can’t go out,” she said. “You have to have keys to open the door, to get the elevator to go downstairs. Keys. I’m telling you, this is like being in prison.”

On Monday, Williams threw a note that read, “Help! Wendy!!” out of the window at her assisted living facility, which prompted a wellness check from the NYPD, the New York Post reported. She was then taken to a hospital, where she was set to receive an “evaluation.”

On Tuesday, Williams told Good Day New York that being released from her conservatorship is the “number one most important thing” to her right now.

Pierce made his big-screen debut in 1992’s The Mighty Ducks as young Gordon Bombay. He reprised the role in 1992’s D2: The Mighty Ducks before starring in films like First Kid, Three Wishes, and Problem Child 3.

After retiring from screen acting in 1997, Pierce pivoted to finance, founding several companies adjacent to the video game industry. In the 2010s, he made hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency ventures.

Pierce later ran for president of the United States as an independent during the 2020 election, gaining endorsements from Akon and Jesse Ventura, but ultimately winning just 0.03 percent of the popular vote.
