Wendy Williams‘ health has become an increasingly serious concern, with recent reports deeming her “permanently incapacitated” due to the effects of her condition. The recent filing revealed that the former talk show host is now facing significant cognitive challenges. This update comes amid ongoing legal battles with A+E Networks.
In this article, we will delve into the details of Wendy Williams’ condition.
What happened to Wendy Williams?
Wendy Williams’ health has been a concern for some time, and recent court filings highlight a troubling decline. The former talk show host, 60, has reportedly been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, specifically frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. It has severely impacted her cognitive abilities. These health challenges have led to Wendy Williams being described as “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated,” according to a filing from her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, in early November.

The filing was part of Morrissey’s ongoing legal battle against A+E Networks. It comes after the release of the controversial Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?. Morrissey has accused the network of exploiting Williams’ vulnerability, showing her in moments of distress, including struggles with addiction and financial difficulties. Morrissey also pointed out that while A+E Networks profited from the documentary, Williams received a relatively small fee of $82,000.
Williams’ diagnosis, which was revealed earlier this year, has shed light on her ongoing difficulties with memory and communication. In her legal filings, Morrissey has called for the protection of Williams’ privacy. She also requested that personal details regarding her health, finances, and family relationships remain confidential.
Meanwhile, A&E Networks has defended its actions, with some blaming the guardian for allowing Williams to be filmed. Morrissey’s lawyer has responded by stating, “None of the defendants ever gained the guardian’s consent for [Williams’] participation to be filmed, and the guardian did not learn of the talent agreement until March 2023, seven months after the start of filming.”
