Inside Wendy Williams’ Aphasia and Dementia Diagnosis: Updates on the Talk Show Host’s Health


Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, and the talk show host's team shared updates on her health.

“The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances,” the statement from her team read. “Unfortunately, many individuals diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia face stigma and misunderstanding, particularly when they begin to exhibit behavioral changes but have not yet received a diagnosis.” “There is hope that with early detection and far more empathy, the stigma associated with dementia will be eliminated, and those affected will receive the understanding, support, and care they deserve and need,” the press release continued.
