'How dare they say I have incapacitation? I do not.”
Wendy Williams called into the “The View” on the March 14 episode and told her guardian Sabrina Morrissey and the judge who declared her “legally incapacitated” to “get off my neck.” Williams also declared: “I need a new guardian.
” The radio and television icon entered a court-appointed guardianship in 2022. She recently made headlines on March 10 after she was moved from her assisted living facility to a hospital. “I was having a little agita,” Williams told “The View” hosts about her medical trip. “And you know, to go to the hospital... look, where I live, at that memory unit on this floor, you know, I just needed a breath of fresh air. I needed to see the doctors. So that’s why I went to the hospital.” Williams said she had some “blood drawn” from her thyroid and added: “It was my choice to get an independent evaluation on my incapacitation, which I don’t have it. How dare they say I have incapacitation? I do not.” She went on to explain that she’s been living on a “locked” memory unit floor where “I am not permitted to do anything but stay on this floor. The memory unit floor, where the people are 90 and 80 and 70... why am I here? You know what I’m saying? Where people don’t remember anything. So I stay in the bedroom the majority of the time. I never go out to eat. I stay in the bedroom.” Sunny Hostin read a statement from the lawyer of Williams' guardian that noted her “guardianship was issued by a judge that declared you legally incapacitated after a diagnosis of frontal temporal dementia and says you have not been kept from your family, and you are receiving excellent medical care.”Williams' audio appearance on “The View” marked her highest-profile return to broadcast television since the conclusion of “The Wendy Williams Show” in June 2022. The talk show, which began in 2008, finished its last run of episodes without Williams hosting, after she took a leave of absence in 2021 due to medical issues related to lymphedema and Graves' disease. In 2024, Williams' team disclosed that she had been diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia . Aphasia is a condition that affects language and communication abilities, while FTD is a disorder that impacts behavior and cognitive functions. Prior to sharing the diagnosis, Williams had entered a court-appointed guardianship in 2022 -- an arrangement that the former TV host has voiced objections to in recent months.“The Breakfast Club” radio show that “I feel I’m in a prison” and “I am not cognitively impaired.” She also described her guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, as “that person that you talk about who is holding me hostage.” Earlier this week, it was reported that Williams had been moved from her assisted living facility to a hospital on March 10. The 60-year-old Williamsto “Good Day New York” to deny that she is cognitively impaired, saying she has prioritized an exit from her conservatorship and alleging that she has taken mental competency tests and “passed with flying colors.” Her caretaker, Gina Monterrosa, added that “she’s been deemed she is not incapacitated.” © 2025 Variety Media, LLC, a subsidiary of Penske Business Media; Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
