Wendy Williams, the former talk show queen, is making shocking claims about her health and guardianship. In a new TubiTV documentary, TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy Williams, the 60-year-old media icon revealed that she hasn’t seen a doctor in nearly two years—despite being diagnosed with dementia in 2023.
Wendy’s Shocking Revelation
During an interview with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, Williams struggled to recall the last time she had a medical check-up. “A long while,” she admitted. “I was in Connecticut for a year and didn’t go see anybody. I’ve been in here for six or seven months and haven’t seen anybody.”
Williams has been living in an assisted living facility under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022. Her guardian claims she is “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated,” but Wendy strongly disagrees.
“I feel fantastic,” she insisted. “I am not incapacitated.”
Dementia or Misdiagnosis?
Experts are now questioning whether Wendy’s diagnosis could be wrong. Neurologist Dr. Leah Croll explained that long-term alcohol abuse can mimic dementia symptoms, making an accurate diagnosis tricky. “Alcohol tends to damage the same brain areas affected by frontotemporal dementia,” Croll said.
If Williams’ cognitive decline was alcohol-related rather than true dementia, could sobriety have reversed her symptoms? Some experts believe it’s worth reevaluating her condition, especially given her recent public appearances where she appears more coherent.
Legal Battle for Freedom
Wendy has been fighting to regain control of her life. She recently signed a legal affidavit demanding the end of her guardianship and is set for a medical evaluation next week. If her request is denied, she’s prepared to take the battle to court—even requesting a jury trial if necessary.
“I am not a baby,” she stated firmly on The Breakfast Club. “I want my freedom back.”
Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has pushed back, citing Wendy’s past diagnosis. However, Morrissey has agreed to a new medical assessment to determine if Wendy is truly incapacitated.
Fans Rally Behind Wendy
As Wendy’s story unfolds, fans are taking to social media to show support. Many believe she deserves a fair reassessment of her condition, while others argue that guardianship laws need reform.
For now, all eyes are on Wendy’s upcoming medical evaluation. Will she prove the experts wrong and regain her independence? Stay tuned for updates on this ongoing battle for freedom.
