Wendy Williams’ Guardianship Upheld Following Medical Exam

Despite protesting that she’s fine and rarin’ to return to hosting a daytime TV show, Wendy Williams reportedly has been found medically unsound enough that the legal guardianship overseeing her every move has been kept in place, according to People.

As readers know, the troubled star, 61 — whose public downfall from a host of escalating medical and emotional problems cost her the helm of her eponymous show in its 13th and final season in 2022 — was diagnosed the following year with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a progressive condition that can warp the personality, and aphasia, which affects the ability to speak, per NPR.

Now, the guardianship she is said to detest has been upheld after doctors performed a “significant number of tests” that sources say support Wendy’s original neurological diagnoses.

The finding is a major blow for Williams, who boasted just months ago while calling in to Good Day New York that she had passed hospital-administered mental competency tests “with flying colors.”

Wendy asked pal and caretaker Ginalisa Monterrosa, who accompanied her to the hospital, to “elaborate on everything.”

“She had those tests, she’s been deemed she is not incapacitated,” Ginalisa reported to anchor Rosanna Scotto. “I think it’s great news, and it’s public, and everybody knows factually that Wendy’s not incapacitated.”

Since May 2022, Williams’ life, health and finances have been under the microscope via a legal guardianship. This latest setback for her means the guardianship will continue, at least for now, per The Hollywood Reporter.

According to court documents obtained by People, a lawyer for her current guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, says that “complications have arisen” as others — including Wendy’s ex Kevin Hunter and other members of her family — are rattling legal sabers to “challenge both the Guardianship itself as well as Ms. Morrissey’s status as Guardian.”

Kevin claims in legal documents that Wendy “has been the victim of unrestrained abuse, maltreatment, and fiscal malfeasance” through “a secret proceeding” that sidestepped her ability to fight back. He is seeking to boot Morrissey as guardian, get Wendy released from “involuntary confinement,” and demands $250 million to make up for financial loss, legal expenses and all that he feels his ex-wife has suffered.
