Wendy Williams Labeled “Permanently Disabled and Incapacitated” by Guardian

Wendy Williams will never be the same. The star's guardian has come out with a troubling update on the talk show host.

Nine months after we learned that the former talk show host had been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia — a condition that impacts the star’s communication abilities and cognitive functions — a new legal filing confirms her health has continued to decline.

Morrissey) says the 60-year-old “has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.” “The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy,” the former talk show host’s reps said in a February 22 press release, “but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances.”
