Wendy Williams Could Be ‘Out of Guardianship’ Before the End of the Year, Says Her Attorney

Wendy Williams will be out of her conservatorship by the end of the year, according to a new interview by her lawyer.

Attorney Joe Tacopina told ABC’s Nightline. per Page Six, that findings from recent test results would mean TV star Williams, 61, could have more say over her life and finances which have been under control of a legal guardianship since 2022.

“She [Williams] does not have frontotemporal dementia, so that should be game, set, match,” Tacopina said on the ABC show.

He added: “The plan is this … there are guardianship attorneys … and we’re watching and waiting, and they’ve assured Wendy by year’s end she’ll be out of guardianship.”

Last month, a neurologist revised her diagnosis and determined that the former Wendy Williams Show host did not have frontotemporal dementia, two years after she was diagnosed with the brain disease.

As the National Enquirer previously reported, an earlier court filing had cited the diagnosis in connection with her conservatorship. The judge in that case has not publicly commented on the reported discrepancy.

Her legal team has now moved to revisit and challenge the conservatorship in light of the new findings.

Per Page Six, Tacopina told Byron Pitts in the ABC report, “You and I can go take a walk downstairs right now … we’ll find five people in an hour who will belong more in a guardianship program than Wendy Williams.”

In June, Williams’ second ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, filed a $250 million lawsuit seeking to end her conservatorship. The lawsuit, which was obtained by Page Six, claimed Williams has been “subjected to overmedication and undue restrictions of her person,”

The troubled star, 61 faced a public downfall after escalating medical and emotional problems cost her the helm of her eponymous show in its 13th and final season in 2022.

Williams was seen on a night out in with her niece Alex Finnie in downtown Manhattan, earlier this month and appeared to be in good spirits. She has not commented on her new updated evaluation.
