Former talk show host Wendy Williams recently spoke out against her court-appointed guardianship in an interview with “The View,” claiming she is not cognitively impaired and does not understand why she is being kept in a “memory unit” at an assisted living facility. Williams expressed her desire to terminate the guardianship that she has been under since 2022 and regain control over her life and finances.
Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, had previously stated that Williams was cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated due to a diagnosis of early-onset dementia. However, Williams disputed these claims and insisted that she is not incapacitated. She also mentioned that her contact with family and friends has been limited, and her movements have been restricted under the guardianship.
The former host revealed that she had gone to a hospital for a cognitive exam after dropping a note from her room that read “Help! Wendy!” Williams explained that she was experiencing anxiety about her situation and wanted an independent cognitive exam to prove that she is not incapacitated.
Despite the challenges she is facing, Williams remains determined to regain control of her life and finances. She updated fans on the status of her famous purple chair from “The Wendy Williams Show” and expressed her hope to eventually get an apartment where she can keep the chair after her guardianship ends.
Overall, Williams’ interview shed light on her ongoing battle with her guardianship and her determination to reclaim her independence. The story first appeared on NBCNews.com.
