Wendy Williams has become “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated,” according to a memo filed by her guardian’s lawyers. The 60-year-old former talk show host has been “afflicted by early-onset dementia,” resulting in her incapacitation, attorneys for her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, said in a legal filing in New York court on Nov. 12. Williams was diagnosed in 2023 with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, her team said in a statement in February.
Speculation about Williams’ health began in 2017, after she fainted live on the air. Williams has been open with her audience about her struggles with addiction. In 2019 she told viewers that she was living in a sober house and that she had sought treatment for drug use. She had also revealed she was taking time off because of Graves’ disease, which is an autoimmune disorder. Williams was also absent from her show in 2021 and 2022 because of health reasons, Variety reported.
