Wendy Williams Challenges Guardianship After Passing Cognitive Evaluation

The former talk show host disputes her dementia diagnosis and seeks to regain autonomy as investigations into her court-ordered guardianship continue.

Wendy Williams remains under a court-ordered guardianship imposed in 2022 after a dementia diagnosis, restricting her autonomy and financial control.
Williams has publicly denied her diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and recently claimed to have passed a mental acuity evaluation.
Her healthcare advocate revealed she initially believed the guardianship would only oversee her finances, not her personal life or decision-making.
Family members and advocates have raised concerns about the guardianship system and its handling of Williams' care, with ongoing investigations by Adult Protective Services and the NYPD.
Williams has expressed optimism about her legal battle, citing progress and increased attention to her case as she seeks to regain control of her life.
