Wendy Williams’ Guardianship Lengthened Following Medical Exam

Wendy Williams' legal guardianship is set to continue following a recent medical assessment that confirmed her dementia diagnosis. Court documents reviewed by PEOPLE reveal that Williams underwent a thorough evaluation, which included comprehensive neuropsychological testing and brain imaging. Sources indicate that she has been re-diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and aphasia, conditions initially identified in 2023. An attorney representing her guardian, Sabrina Morrisey, has requested an extension of the guardianship for a minimum of three months, as it is currently due to expire on November 5. Reports indicate that challenges to the guardianship have emerged from family members, including ex-husband Kevin Hunter. Williams has been under this legal protection since May 2022, focusing on her finances and healthcare. Tensions between Williams and Morrissey have escalated, particularly as Williams contests claims regarding her capacity. Despite her assertions of competency, a new medical review has been pursued. Hunter's lawsuit against the guardianship system remains unresolved.
