Wendy Williams Diagnosed With Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia


Wendy Williams’ team confirmed on Thursday, February 22, that she has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia

“As Wendy’s fans are aware, in the past, she has been open with the public about her medical struggles with Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema as well as other significant challenges related to her health,” a press release shared with Page Six on Thursday, February 22, reads. “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.” She is, from what I understand, in a wellness, healing type of environment,” Williams’ sister Wanda Finnie told People in an interview published on Wednesday, February 21.
