Former talk show host Wendy Williams underwent a series of cognitive and neurological tests this week, and a new report indicates the results reinforce her previous diagnosis. Sources tell People that Wendy was again diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, conditions first identified in 2023.
Guardianship and Legal Battles Continue
The report follows a recent court filing by Wendy’s court-appointed guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, who requested a pause in litigation with A&E over the documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?
According to the filing, Wendy’s lawyers noted:
“Medical specialists have formed an opinion concerning [Wendy’s] current neurological condition and diagnosis, including whether she has the ability to make decisions.”
Wendy’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, has pledged to hold parties accountable for the guardianship arrangement, emphasizing that Wendy continues to fight to regain control over her personal and professional affairs.
Thorough Testing and Brain Scans
People reports that evaluators conducted a “significant number of tests (both medical and neuropsychological) and scans (including brain imaging),” suggesting a comprehensive review of Wendy’s neurological state.
In March, Wendy was temporarily removed from her assisted care facility — which she previously described as a “luxury prison” in the documentary TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy — to complete tests. Sources say she passed a capacity evaluation with flying colors at that time, though it’s unclear if those tests were included in this new assessment.
What This Means for Wendy
While the results reportedly confirm her previous diagnosis, it remains uncertain how this will affect her ongoing guardianship fight or her ability to challenge decisions made on her behalf.
Fans and advocates continue to watch the case closely, showing support for Wendy’s efforts to regain independence while navigating both her health and legal challenges.
