Wendy Williams, a famous TV host, has been declared “permanently incapacitated” because of her ongoing health problems. This means she can no longer take care of herself. The information came from court papers filed by her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey.
Wendy has been diagnosed with a condition called early-onset dementia. This disease affects how her brain works, making it hard for her to think clearly or make decisions. She also has a condition called primary progressive aphasia, which makes it difficult for her to speak and communicate. Wendy’s health struggles were made public earlier this year.
Over the past few years, Wendy has faced many personal challenges, including alcohol addiction, health problems, and money issues. These struggles were shown in a Lifetime documentary called Where Is Wendy Williams? However, some people close to Wendy said the documentary was unfair to her because she wasn’t able to give her permission for it due to her health problems.
Now, Wendy’s guardian and legal team are asking the court to protect her privacy. They want details about her health, family, and finances to be kept private. This is to make sure Wendy is treated with respect as she battles her illness.
Wendy, who is 59 years old, was loved by fans for her talk show, The Wendy Williams Show. She was known for her lively personality, honest interviews with celebrities, and her famous phrase, “How you doin’?” Sadly, her show ended in 2022 because she took a long break to focus on her health.
Her condition, frontotemporal dementia, affects parts of the brain that control behavior, decision-making, and language. Unlike other types of dementia, this one often begins earlier in life and can be very difficult for families to deal with.
