*Wendy Williams, the beloved former talk show host known for her candid commentary and larger-than-life personality, is reportedly facing grave health challenges as recent court documents reveal the extent of her battle with early-onset dementia.
The filing, submitted by her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, asserts that Williams has become “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated” due to her condition.
The disturbing news surfaced in documents obtained by The U.S. Sun, which detail Williams’ deteriorating health. The court filing notes that Morrissey has been appointed to oversee Williams’ affairs, a move initiated by Wells Fargo in January 2022 due to concerns over her welfare and financial management. The bank’s action to seek guardianship highlights the severity of the situation, with legal proceedings beginning in the Supreme Court of New York.
Williams was diagnosed with both aphasia and dementia in May 2023, marking a decline after she was placed under legal guardianship due to her health complications.
This diagnosis followed a tumultuous period for the star, who ended her iconic 12-year run as the host of The Wendy Williams Show in 2022. Since then, Williams has remained largely out of the public eye, with her legacy overshadowed by ongoing health issues.
The court filing is part of a broader legal dispute between Morrissey and the production of the documentary entitled “Where Is Wendy Williams?” The documentary, which aired on Lifetime, offered a glimpse into Williams’ struggles with alcohol and her personal life. Morrissey has since taken legal action to prevent the release of certain sensitive information, requesting that details regarding Wendy’s health, familial relationships, and finances be redacted to protect her privacy.
While Williams has largely stepped back from the public spotlight, she was last seen in August during a shopping trip at a holistic wellness store in New Jersey. In early October, she participated in a phone interview with the Daily Mail, where she discussed other celebrities, including Sean “Diddy” Combs, but refrained from discussing her health issues in depth, TMZ noted.
As Wendy Williams’ condition continues to decline, her fans and the entertainment community are left to reflect on her vibrant career and the indelible mark she made on daytime television. The news of her cognitive challenges raises serious concerns about her well-being and future, both personally and professionally. Her legacy as a bold and influential voice in entertainment remains intact, but the health struggles she faces are a sobering reminder of the realities many grapple with.
The ongoing legal battles, coupled with her health issues, are shaping a difficult narrative for Williams, with supporters hoping for her recovery while being confronted with the harsh truths of her situation.
