Wendy Williams' brother claims she is 'stuck' in a treatment facility amid battle with dementia and aphasia: 'All I want for her is freedom'


Wendy Williams' brother, Tommy Williams, claims the former talk show host is 'stuck' in a treatment facility and wants her released.

She was alone and her mental state, having been divorced and losing her mother and liquor, it was not a good mix,' he shared, in reference to Wendy’s 2020 split from ex-husband Kevin Hunter Sr. and the death of her mom, Shirley Williams, during that same year. Sabrina had asked the court for injunctive relief, indicating her request could have been an attempt to stop the network from airing the TV special - but a judge ultimately dismissed the case citing the First Amendment. In the documentary, the former TV legend appeared virtually unable to answer the producers' repetitive questions, often seemed confused, and would ramble incoherently, break down in tears, or lash out at friends or family members.
