Wendy Williams Turns to Advocacy as She Intensifies Fight Against Court Guardianship

Her attorney says she plans to use her platform to challenge the guardianship system.

Overview

  • Williams remains under a court-ordered guardianship and has brought on attorney Joe Tacopina to challenge it.
  • Tacopina says she has no plans to return to hosting and is considering a speaking tour and panels focused on guardianship issues, according to sources.
  • He calls a recent report that claimed new tests showed frontotemporal dementia and aphasia a fake and suggests the guardian may have leaked it, an allegation the guardian has not addressed.
  • The legal team’s next step is a medical evaluation by a neutral physician, with Tacopina saying a jury trial could follow if the court’s ruling is unfavorable.
  • Williams has publicly rejected the reported diagnoses and said she expects to end the guardianship; the guardian did not comment.
