Wendy Williams Challenges Guardianship After Hospitalization and Public Plea

The former talk show host, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, insists she is not incapacitated and seeks to regain control of her life.

Wendy Williams, 60, was seen dining in New York City after being hospitalized for an evaluation following a welfare check at her assisted living facility.
She reportedly dropped a handwritten note from her facility window asking for help, prompting police intervention and her temporary removal to a hospital for assessment.
Williams claims she passed independent competency tests with 'flying colors' and denies being cognitively impaired, countering her guardian's claims to the contrary.
The former TV host has been under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022, following diagnoses of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, which affect her communication and cognitive functions.
Williams has publicly criticized her guardianship and living conditions, describing them as restrictive and akin to a 'prison,' and is actively pursuing legal steps to terminate the arrangement.
