Former talk show host Wendy Williams was spotted outside Sista Sara’s Shonuff Oysters in Fort Lauderdale with her nephew. It was recently reported that Wendy was “permanently incapacitated” following her dementia diagnosis.
Wendy is sitting in the backseat of an SUV while restaurant workers surround the SUV to greet her. One person tells Wendy she looks good, but she just smiles and doesn’t respond verbally.
According to documents filed by her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, in a NY court last month, Wendy “has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”
The news shocked Wendy’s longtime fans who had hoped for a comeback.
The filing further states, “In January 2022, after becoming aware of a pattern of disturbing events concerning [Wendy’s] welfare and finances, Wells Fargo took the highly unusual step of initiating a guardianship proceeding on its own initiative in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County (the ‘Guardianship Proceeding’), to seek the court appointment of an independent guardian for [Wendy’s] financial affairs.”
A judge appointed legal guardianship to protect Williams’ finances.
The revelation about her worsening condition came amid an ongoing legal battle over the Lifetime TV series “Where is Wendy Williams?” The documentary showed the former daytime TV host dealing with alcohol addiction, alongside health and financial issues.
A lawsuit claimed that the TV series exploited Wendy, and said that she did not have the ability to consent to the series due to her health ailments.
