Wendy Williams Claims She Hasn’t Seen a Doctor in Nearly 2 Years Despite Being Diagnosed with Dementia amid Guardianship

Wendy Williams claimed that she has not been seen by a doctor in nearly 2 years following her 2023 dementia diagnosis. The former talk show host has recently claimed that she is "not incapacitated" and is fighting to be released from her guardianship.

The former talk show host, 60, detailed how her life has changed under a guardianship in a new TubiTV documentary called TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy Williams, released on Wednesday, Feb. 12. Given her history of substance abuse and recent sobriety, New York-based neurologist Leah Croll said that Williams’ alcoholism could have been the reason she experienced aphasia, which is defined by brain damage that impacts an individual’s ability to understand and communicate. “The issue of whether [Williams] has the capacity to assess what is in her own best interests deserves renewed careful consideration by qualified experts, and should not be left to careless speculation in tabloids, radio, or on the Internet,” the filing stated.
