Wendy Williams’ wellness war has taken a turn for the worse. The former talk show host is now “permanently incapacitated ” due to her dementia diagnosis, according to her guardian.
In new court records obtained and made public by Deadline, Williams ’ caretaker confirms she “has been afflicted by early-onset delirium and, as a result, has become mentally impaired and entirely incapacitated. ”
In May of 2023 , Williams was diagnosed with major extreme dementia and frontotemporal dementia, only one time after she was placed under legal guardianship. The court-ordered care oversees her wellbeing as well as her money.
The Nov. 12 court filing involves Williams ’ guardian Sabrina Morrissey and the “ Where Is Wendy Williams? ” film. Morrissey filed the suit to prevent the transfer of the Lifetime programme, which detailed her struggles with health and alcohol abuse since leaving “The Wendy Williams Show. ”
The processing includes the claim that Lifetime and the doc’s executive producer Mark Ford “cruelly took advantage of Williams ’ cognitive and physical decline by creating and publishing a film at a time when Williams was extremely vulnerable and plainly incapable of consenting to been filmed. ”
Morrissey’s group also states the doc authors “intentionally manipulated and goaded ” her “to trigger solid emotional responses and acquire embarrassing images. ”
Lifetime states to include acquired “consent, type, and cooperation ” to make the film before the talk show host always had a caretaker.
Following the ending of “The Wendy Williams show” after 12 times in 2022 according to her health problem, Williams was replaced by Sherri Shepherd who presently films “Sherri” in the same theater.
