Neurologist Finds No Frontotemporal Dementia in Wendy Williams

Her lawyers plan to ask a New York court to terminate the 2022 guardianship using the fresh test results.

Overview

  • A New York neurologist recently completed a battery of tests and delivered the results to Wendy Williams’ legal team late last month.
  • Her attorneys intend to file within roughly two weeks to request a hearing to end the court-ordered guardianship.
  • If the judge refuses to terminate the arrangement, attorney Joe Tacopina plans to seek a jury trial.
  • The new medical opinion conflicts with a 2024 public diagnosis and earlier evaluations that cited frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.
  • Williams has been under guardianship since Wells Fargo raised undue influence concerns in 2022, and prior filings by guardian Sabrina Morrissey described her as permanently incapacitated.
