Wendy Williams' Family Launches GoFundMe to Challenge Guardianship

The former talk show host claims isolation and loss of independence under court-ordered guardianship while family seeks legal funds to bring her home.

Wendy Williams, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, has been under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022 and resides in a New York wellness facility.
Williams has described her living conditions as isolating, comparing the facility to a 'prison' and expressing frustration over restricted access to her finances and personal belongings.
She revealed during a radio interview that her two cats, Chit Chat and My Way, were taken away without her consent, adding to her sense of loss and isolation.
Her family has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise $50,000 for legal representation to challenge her guardianship and facilitate her return to Florida.
The guardianship has been criticized by Williams' family, who claim it has cut her off from her support network and left her feeling trapped and powerless.
