*Wendy Williams attended her son Kevin Hunter Jr.’s graduation from Florida International University on December 19, marking a rare public appearance amid her ongoing health battles with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and primary progressive aphasia (PPA).
Photographs captured Williams using a mobility scooter at the event, joined by family members including her 93-year-old father, Thomas Williams Sr., and her sister, Wanda Finnie. This follows recent outings in Florida, despite her court-appointed guardian describing her as “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated” last month.
The beloved former talk show host was recently spotted picking up food with her nephew Travis Finnie at Fort Lauderdale restaurant, Sister Sara’s Shonuff Oysters. A fan shared their interaction with Williams on Instagram on Sunday, December 15. In the post’s comments, one user wrote: “She doesn’t look or sound ‘permanently incapacitated’. Something is super off with this whole mess.”
Another Instagram user added, “Never forget that this all started with Wells fargo. There’s something very dark and very unsettling about the whole guardianship, from the genesis for it to the liquidation of her assets with no clear accountability as to where that money goes. No one knows how much this guardian is being paid out of Wendy’s estate and there are no regulations in place. This should scare EVERYBODY.”
We reported earlier that Williams is allegedly facing grave health challenges as court documents reveal the extent of her battle with early-onset dementia. The filing, submitted by her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, asserts that she has become “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated” due to her condition.

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. Her team released a statement about earlier this year.
“Aphasia, a condition affecting language and communication abilities, and frontotemporal dementia, a progressive disorder impacting behavior and cognitive functions, have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy’s life,” the statement read.
After Wendy’s appearance at her son’s graduation, new videos went viral that appear to show her as spry and “doing OK” — see below.
