Wendy Williams Docuseries to Air as Planned Despite Reported Lawsuit, Lifetime Says


The TV personality's care team announced her primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia diagnosis on Thursday.

The outlet cites Morrissey's request for a temporary restraining order, an action often used when someone wants a judge to halt the release of a film or television project as evidence to that claim. "... Aphasia, a condition affecting language and communication abilities, and frontotemporal dementia, a progressive disorder impacting behavior and cognitive functions, have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy's life." "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 press release continued.
