Wendy Williams’ health struggles continue to take center stage, as new legal filings shed light on the former talk show host’s ongoing battle with early-onset dementia. According to documents obtained by TMZ, Wendy’s guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, claims the once-iconic media personality is “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”

Wendy’s challenges became public in May 2023 when she was diagnosed with both aphasia and dementia, just a year after being placed under legal guardianship to manage her health and finances. This latest revelation adds to the growing concerns over her well-being.

Morrissey’s court filing is part of a legal battle tied to the Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?. The documentary, released earlier this year, highlighted Wendy’s struggles with alcohol, including a shocking scene where she drank an entire bottle of vodka. Morrissey had previously sued to block the film’s release but was unsuccessful.

In this new filing, Morrissey requests that specific details about Wendy’s health, financial situation, and familial relationships remain sealed to protect her privacy.

Despite her condition, Wendy was last seen in public in August at a holistic wellness store in New Jersey. In October, she gave a rare interview to the Daily Mail discussing Diddy’s legal troubles, though the conversation wasn’t on camera, leaving fans worried about her current state.

Wendy stepped down from her iconic Wendy Williams Show in 2022 due to her medical condition, marking the end of a 12-year reign as one of daytime TV’s most captivating hosts. Sherri Shepherd stepped in to fill her time slot with her own show, SHERRI, which continues to thrive.
