Fans have been concerned about Wendy Williams amid reports that she is “permanently incapacitated” following her diagnosis with dementia and aphasia in May 2023. She has been under court-ordered guardianship since 2022 and currently resides in an assisted living facility in New York City, though she claims she has no reason to be there.
A recent TMZ documentary on Tubi features a rare interview with Williams, where she describes feeling like a prisoner, stating that she needs permission to leave, lacks internet access, cannot receive phone calls, and has limited visitation. These revelations have sparked debate over her guardianship and whether she is being unfairly controlled.
Despite the controversy, Williams was recently seen at a Florida airport, appearing in good spirits as she rode a mobility scooter with a smile. She was reportedly visiting to celebrate her father’s 94th birthday, a trip she was granted permission for earlier this month.
This sighting comes shortly after reports that Williams signed an affidavit denying she has dementia and requesting an end to her guardianship. She is scheduled for a new medical evaluation on February 18, conducted by a doctor hired by her attorney.
The following day, her legal team plans to file an Emergency Order to Show Cause in an effort to expedite the process of ending her guardianship.
