Former talk show host Wendy Williams recently spoke out against her court-appointed guardianship during an interview with “The View,” claiming she is not cognitively impaired and wants to terminate the guardianship immediately. The 60-year-old TV personality has been under guardianship since 2022, following a diagnosis of early-onset dementia. Williams alleges that her movements are being restricted, and she has limited contact with family and friends.
Representatives for Williams have stated that she was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, conditions that affect communication and behavior. Williams insists that she is not impaired as her guardian claimed and feels like she is being kept in a prison.
In a recent incident, Williams’ niece was accused of evading staff at her assisted living facility to take her out for dinner, prompting concern from Williams. The former host mentioned an incident where she dropped a note asking for help, leading to a hospital visit for a cognitive exam.
During the interview, Williams expressed her desire to end the guardianship and move on with her life, emphasizing that she is not incapacitated. She also updated fans on her famous purple chair from “The Wendy Williams Show” and her plans to get an apartment after the guardianship ends. Williams is determined to regain control of her life and hopes for a return to normalcy.
