Wendy Williams’s guardian has told a court that the former talk show host is “permanently incapacitated” from her dementia battle.
Attorneys for Wendy’s guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, made the announcement as she battles with Lifetime over the documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?”
In the filing, Sabrina’s legal team calls Wendy, “an acclaimed entertainer who, tragically, has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”
The filing further states, “In January 2022, after becoming aware of a pattern of disturbing events concerning [Wendy’s] welfare and finances, Wells Fargo took the highly unusual step of initiating a guardianship proceeding on its own initiative in the Supreme Court of New York, New York County (the ‘Guardianship Proceeding’), to seek the court appointment of an independent guardian for [Wendy’s] financial affairs.”
In the document, the guardian’s legal team pleads to the court for certain portions of the case about Wendy’s “health, familial relationships, and finances” to be redacted to protect her privacy.
Wendy was diagnosed with alcohol-related brain damage before she was placed in a guardianship in 2022.
