Wendy Williams Challenges Guardianship Following Welfare Check and Hospital Evaluation
The former talk show host claims she is mentally competent and seeks to terminate her court-appointed guardianship, which her guardian defends as necessary.
- Wendy Williams was removed from her assisted living facility on March 10 after dropping a note asking for help, prompting a welfare check by the NYPD.
- She was taken to Lenox Hill Hospital for evaluation, where she claims to have passed a mental capacity test with a perfect score.
- Williams has been under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022, with her guardian citing diagnoses of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia as justification.
- The former host has publicly denied cognitive impairment, criticized her living conditions, and compared her facility to a 'prison.'
- Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, disputes Williams' claims, maintaining that the guardianship ensures her safety and care.
