Former talk show host Wendy Williams vehemently denies being 'cognitively impaired' as stated by her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Joined by her niece Alex Finnie, Williams spoke on 'The Breakfast Club' radio show, expressing feelings of being 'imprisoned' and alleging restrictions on her contact with loved ones. Morrissey's attorney maintains Williams' legal incapacitation due to her dementia diagnosis, while Finnie calls for public awareness and action to ensure Williams' well-being and freedom.
Wendy Williams vehemently refuted claims made by her legal guardian , Sabrina Morrissey , who last year asserted that the former talk show host was 'cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.' On Thursday morning, the 60-year-old Williams, joined by her niece Alex Finnie , called into 'The Breakfast Club' radio show to address the allegations.
Williams stated unequivocally, 'I am not cognitively impaired,' and described her current living situation as 'like I'm imprisoned.' She and Finnie detailed their concerns about Williams' treatment under Morrissey's guardianship, alleging tight security at an undisclosed New York facility, where Williams has been receiving treatment since 2022, and that Morrissey was hindering her contact with loved ones. Finnie appealed to listeners to spread awareness about Williams' experiences and advocate for her well-being, emphasizing the need to ensure her dignity and freedom. Meanwhile, Roberta Kaplan, Morrissey's attorney, stood by the guardian's claims, citing a state court's finding of Williams' legal incapacitation. Kaplan argued that Williams' condition, characterized by dementia and aphasia, necessitates lifelong care and that the public scrutiny surrounding her case only fuels exploitation.
