Wendy Williams is permanently incapacitated due to dementia

Wendy Williams was labeled as “permanently incapacitated” in new court documents by her guardian, less than a year after revealing her dementia and aphasia diagnosis to the public.

Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and her legal team, wrote in court documents obtained by The U.S. Sun that Williams “has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.” The revelation came amid an ongoing legal battle over the Lifetime series Where is Wendy Williams?, a documentary that showed the former TV host dealing with alcohol addiction, alongside health and financial issues.

Past court documents claimed that the series exploited Williams, and said that she did not have the ability to consent to the series due to her health ailments. The new filing asked for information of her “health, familial relationships, and finances” to be redacted in an effort of privacy, according to the outlet. Williams was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia in 2023, revealing her health conditions publicly earlier this year.

It couldn’t have happened to a worse person.

I miss her in the entertainment landscape...Im glad that Kevin Jr. graduated and she was able to witness it.

I was a listener of Wendy's since the early 2000s. She frequently mentioned on the radio, even 25 years ago, that she would be plagued with health issues earlier than most people because of her height/weight and life-long bad habits (both with crazy diets and drugs/alcohol). She had "Medical Minute" spot on her radio show too.

Say what you will about Wendy, but she was spot on about almost everything, including her own demise, and even Diddy.

by Anonymousreply 59December 21, 2024 10:43 PM

r59 I also remember Wendy saying that she'd get health issues earlier in life. She partied hard with drugs and alcohol and was also a smoker for a long time, she didn't quit until she was nearly middle-aged.

Isn't it possible she does NOT have dementia and this is all money hungry control plays? She might just still be a mentally ill alcoholic and drug addict with Graves' Disease.

I’m frightened to look into what happens to the aged and demented when they have no family or funds. (Emphasis on funds, as the case @ r59 has multiple children, none of whom will commit to caring for her.)

They all work full-time and have children, they can't care for her 24/7, which is the kind of care she needs. She cannot be left alone. Furthermore, she has outbursts of temper and becomes violent, which is common in dementia/Alzheimer's patients. The kind of care she requires can only be provided by an assisted living facility.
