Wendy Williams is not staying silent amid new reports about her health.
The former daytime TV host, who has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, addressed speculation about her mental state over the weekend. Despite medical claims that she suffers from frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, Wendy Williams insists she is still in control of her life and wants out of what she describes as an unfair arrangement.
Arriving at New York hotspot Tucci’s alongside owner Max Tucci, she told reporters:
“I want to say hi to my attorneys, Allan Diamond and Joe Tacopina. And I will get out of guardianship.”
Her attorney, Joe Tacopina, echoed her sentiments, calling the legal process “despicably slow” and vowing to take further action.
“This is Wendy, the same Wendy, we’ve had conversation over six months, she’s the same Wendy Williams that you know from TV. She belongs in a facility like I belong in a facility. She is a person in control of her faculties and is a great human being… and it sickens me… this isn’t a case for me, it’s a cause…”
While her guardians’ legal team is seeking to extend the conservatorship through November, Wendy Williams has made it clear that she is determined to fight back. With #FreeWendy supporters rallying around her, she is pushing to reclaim her independence.
