Wendy Williams’ Guardian Seeks Extension After Experts Reaffirm Dementia Diagnosis

Guardianship authorities have asked the court for extra time to review a newly completed battery of tests that Williams’ team says it has not yet viewed

Overview

  • In an August 5 court filing, guardian Sabrina E. Morrissey reported completion of extensive medical and neuropsychological tests and brain imaging to assess Williams’ decision-making capacity
  • Anonymous sources cited by PEOPLE say the evaluation upheld Williams’ 2023 frontotemporal dementia and aphasia diagnoses
  • Morrissey’s attorneys asked a New York judge to extend the guardianship through November 5, 2025 and to stay A&E litigation over the 2024 documentary
  • A&E agreed to delay its lawsuit in exchange for scheduling an early deposition of Williams due to concerns about her alleged progressive neurological decline
  • Williams and her lawyer Joe Tacopina have publicly disputed the leaked findings and demanded access to the unreleased medical report and doctor testimony
