Wendy Williams takes major step toward ending her guardianship after more than two years

Wendy Williams is launching her next big assault on the guardianship that has kept her confined and largely away from her family and friends over the past two years.

Notably, frontotemporal dementia is a permanent and progressive condition, so the former Wendy Williams Show host hopes that her apparent improvement in functioning will indicate that she couldn't be suffering from the disease. Williams has accused her son Kevin of making large, unauthorized transactions, which caused Wells Fargo to freeze her accounts and led the guardianship to be instituted. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the judge overseeing Williams case said in September 2024 that, 'While Mr. Hunter, [her son, Kevin] apologized for past mistakes and inappropriate behavior, the court is not convinced that he can keep her safe and wouldn't willingly or unwittingly expose her to financial exploitation.'
