Wendy Williams' Guardian Calls for New Medical Evaluation Amid Dementia Denial

Wendy Williams' Guardian Calls for New Medical Evaluation Amid Dementia Denial


Wendy Williams' public insistence that she does not have dementia is sparking action from her legal guardian, who is now requesting a new medical examination.

Sabrina Morrissey, Wendy’s court-appointed guardian, has informed the judge overseeing the case that Wendy's recent interviews—including one with TMZ and another on The Breakfast Club—contradict the original diagnosis that placed her in an assisted living facility. Wendy has repeatedly denied having frontotemporal dementia, which was first diagnosed by doctors at Weill Cornell Medical Center.

Morrissey, through attorney Roberta Kaplan, revealed in a legal letter that Wendy also expressed opposition to the guardianship’s lawsuit against A&E over the Where Is Wendy Williams? docuseries. Since the legal action was initially pursued for Wendy’s benefit, Morrissey now suggests pausing the case while awaiting further clarity on Wendy's condition.

To ensure full transparency, Morrissey is proposing a comprehensive neurological and psychological evaluation by a specialist. However, she seems doubtful that the results will change anything, stating that if the new examination somehow finds Wendy mentally competent, they would drop the lawsuit.

This development comes as Wendy continues to push for her independence, with fans rallying behind her under the viral hashtag #FreeWendy. The results of this new evaluation could play a key role in determining her future.

Meanwhile, Wendy’s tell-all interview with Harvey Levin in the new Saving Wendy documentary will begin streaming on Tubi starting February 12.
