Wendy Williams' family speaks out about the guardianship keeping them separated... after the talk show host was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia


Wendy Williams' family members are raising concerns about the restrictive guardianship she has been living under for nearly two years, which prevents them from contacting her.

The Wendy Williams Show host's sister, brother and niece previously spoke with People Magazine for its latest cover story on her ongoing health issues and battles with addiction. Where the documentary's camera crew expected to find the host getting back into the swing of things, they instead found her battling an alleged alcohol addiction and other health conditions, including Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder that can lead to hyperthyroidism and bulging eyes, and lymphedema, in which a blocked lymphatic system allows fluid to swell up in the body, particularly in the legs and feet. According to the documentary filmmakers, they ultimately stopped filming in April 2023 after documenting a series of disturbing drunken incidents, before finally finding Williams unresponsive in her home with her eyes rolled back into her head.
