Wendy Williams Challenges Guardianship After Passing Mental Competency Test

The former talk show host disputes claims of incapacitation following her hospitalization and a controversial dinner outing with her niece.

Wendy Williams was hospitalized on March 11 after reportedly dropping a note from her assisted living facility window asking for help.
She underwent a mental competency test at the hospital and was deemed to have full mental capacity, scoring 10 out of 10 on the evaluation.
Williams has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, which she likens to living in a 'prison,' and is actively seeking to end it.
Her niece, Alex Finnie, is accused by the facility of 'kidnapping' Williams by taking her out to dinner without proper authorization, though conflicting reports exist on whether restrictions were in place.
Williams plans to continue advocating for her independence and is set to make a public appearance on 'The View,' though the format of her participation remains unclear.
