Legal Guardianship Battle: Wendy Williams Faces Setback After Recent Dementia Diagnosis Was Confirmed

Wendy Williams will continue to be under conservatorship, as recent medical assessments reaffirm her diagnoses of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. This condition emerged in 2023 during the former talk show host's public absence.Sabrina Morrissey was designated as Williams' legal guardian by a judge in 2022 due to apprehensions that her family might financially exploit her.New legal documents obtained by People reveal Morrissey has sought a three-month extension to oversee Williams’ medical and financial matters until November 5.According to Morrissey, challenges have surfaced as family members and her legal advisors contest the guardianship, describing it as “involuntary confinement.”Months after Morrissey claimed Williams is “cognitively impaired” and “legally incapacitated,” her lawyer, Joe Tacopina, countered that he believes Williams was “misdiagnosed.” Currently residing in an assisted living facility, Williams’ guardianship status has sparked significant public discourse on her situation.
