Wendy Williams' Fight to End Guardianship Gains Momentum with Protests in Two Cities

The former talk show host disputes her dementia diagnosis, claims she passed cognitive tests, and calls for a jury trial to regain her independence.

Fans organized protests in New York City and Los Angeles on April 1 to support Wendy Williams' efforts to end her court-ordered guardianship.
Williams has publicly denied her 2023 dementia diagnosis, asserting she passed mental competency tests and is not incapacitated.
Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claims Williams declined court-ordered medical testing in March, which Williams disputes, calling the claim false.
Williams has criticized her living conditions in an assisted living facility, describing it as restrictive and isolating, and likened it to imprisonment.
The case highlights broader concerns about the ethics of guardianships, autonomy, and the balance between care and control for individuals with contested cognitive impairments.
