Wendy Williams’ Lawyer Says Court Guardianship Will End By Year’s End

He points to recent neurological testing that disputes her prior dementia diagnosis.

Overview

  • On ABC's Nightline, attorney Joe Tacopina said guardianship attorneys assured Williams she will be out of the arrangement by December 31.
  • He said a New York neurologist’s recent evaluation found she does not have frontotemporal dementia, contradicting earlier findings, with results delivered to her legal team in late October.
  • Tacopina pledged to seek a jury trial if a judge declines to terminate the guardianship.
  • Williams has been under a court-ordered guardian since 2022 after Wells Fargo raised concerns of undue influence and financial exploitation, with Sabrina E. Morrissey appointed.
  • Her living situation and finances remain restricted, including a reported $18,000 monthly assisted-living bill, while ex-husband Kevin Hunter pursues a $250 million suit alleging confinement and abuse.
