Wendy Williams' Guardian Requests New Medical Evaluation Following Dementia Denial
The former talk show host disputes her dementia diagnosis, calling it 'disgusting,' while her guardian seeks clarity through updated neurological testing.
- Wendy Williams publicly rejected her 2023 frontotemporal dementia diagnosis during a 'Breakfast Club' interview, claiming she is not cognitively impaired.
- Her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has requested a new medical evaluation to reassess Williams' mental and neurological condition.
- Morrissey stated that Williams' diagnosis was originally made by specialists at Weill Cornell Medical Center and legally confirmed by a judge in 2022.
- The guardianship is also involved in legal action against A&E over the 2024 Lifetime documentary 'Where Is Wendy Williams?', which Williams says she did not consent to but is open to working with Lifetime again.
- Williams has described her current living situation as isolating and restrictive, likening it to imprisonment, and has fired her court-appointed attorney as part of her efforts to end the guardianship.
