Wendy Williams’ friends and family fear for her health and well-being if she is allowed to leave an assisted living facility.
Nurses at the facility monitor Wendy’s mental status and make sure she’s compliant with her medications. But, most importantly, the nurses make sure she doesn’t drink alcohol.
Wendy, 60, was transported to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation on Monday after she begged police to help her leave the assisted living facility.
She got her wish — a trip to the hospital, where she received perfect scores on two psychiatric exams.
On “The Breakfast Club,” Wendy was joined by her caregiver, Ginalisa Monterroso, who said she called police and asked them to escort the former talk show host out of the assisted-living facility.
Ginalisa said she pushed Wendy to request an independent medical evaluation while at the hospital. The facility had initially sent a nurse to keep an eye on her, which Ginalisa refused.
In a video clip, obtained by TMZ, Wendy is seen walking with two police officers on Monday morning.
Once at Lenox Hill Hospital, doctors gave Wendy two psychiatric evaluation tests, which she passed with flying colors.
But friends say Wendy passed the exams because she’s on medications that stabilize chemicals in her brain. The medications allow her to think clearly.
Friends fear Wendy will stop taking her medicine and start drinking again if she is released from the facility.
Without her medications, Wendy will relapse and her erratic behavior will make headlines again.
Wendy is expected to appear as a guest on ABC’s “The View” on Friday, March 14.
