*Wendy Williams has denied having dementia and dismissed claims that she is “incapacitated” following a legal dispute with her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.
Shortly after Williams addressed her health on a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Morrissey requested a new medical evaluation in court. The former talk show host criticized Morrissey’s lawsuit against A&E and Lifetime over the documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?”. In the papers filed on Feb. 20, 2024, Morrissey claimed the doc “shamelessly exploits [Williams] and portrays her in an extremely demeaning and undignified manner.”
“This case arises from the brutally calculated, deliberate actions of powerful and cravenly opportunistic media companies working together with a producer to knowingly exploit [Williams],” the filing alleged in part, referencing Williams’ frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.
In a counterclaim, A&E denied the allegations.
Despite the legal battle, Williams expressed openness to working with Lifetime again in the future.

“I’ve worked with Lifetime several times,” William said on the radio program. “Enough that I would love to do something with Lifetime again. They are good people to me and I am good people to them.”
She also explained that she watched the doc with her guardian.
“I only watched [the docuseries] once and I will never watch again in life,” William said.
“It was disgusting, and by the way, I watched it with my guardianship person,” she added. “Yes, we watched that together. That was the first time this guardianship person was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ and she was writing stuff down. I was looking like, ‘Oh my god,’ do you know what I’m saying? What happened with this?”
Williams denied being “incapacitated” during an appearance on The Don Lemon Show on January 16 and reiterated that she wasn’t cognitively impaired during a separate interview on The Breakfast Club later that day.
Hours after her new interview on The Breakfast Club earlier this week, Morrissey requested a “new medical evaluation” in the new court filing.
“In these statements, [Williams] has indicated that, in her opinion, she is not suffering from dementia and is not incapacitated,” Morrissey’s filing stated. “We are writing this letter today because, during a radio interview this morning, [Williams] discussed the A&E matter at some length and appeared to indicate that she does not want to proceed with the action.”
