Wendy Williams: Lucid and Articulate, But Still Under Guardianship

Talk show legend Wendy Williams appears to be in top form, raising eyebrows about her controversial guardianship. TMZ Executive Producer Harvey Levin, who spoke with Wendy for 90 minutes, describes her as sharp, articulate, and full of personality—qualities that don’t align with claims of her being permanently disabled due to frontal lobe dementia.

Levin, joined by Charlamagne Tha God on the call, says Wendy’s clarity and confidence were undeniable. Charlamagne echoed Levin’s surprise, noting she didn’t exhibit any signs of the condition her guardianship attorney insists she has.

This comes amid long-standing concerns over Wendy’s personal and financial freedom. The guardianship, initially granted to manage her affairs, has faced scrutiny, with critics questioning if the decision was more about her past struggles with substance abuse than any true medical condition.

While Wendy’s attorney Roberta Kaplan acknowledges that Wendy has “good days and bad days,” her recent streak of coherent interviews, including this phone call, challenges the narrative of her being unfit to manage her life.

The conversation begs the question: could Wendy thrive as a free individual with the support of a sober coach rather than being confined under strict guardianship? Levin’s observations suggest it might be time to revisit the terms of her care.

For now, the fate of Wendy Williams remains in the hands of the court, but public opinion may be shifting in her favor.
