According to recent court filings, Wendy Williams, the 60-year-old former host of 'The Wendy Williams Show,' is reportedly 'permanently incapacitated' due to her ongoing battle with dementia, as claimed by her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. Williams was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in May 2023. The guardian states that Williams is 'cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated,' leaving her unable to manage her personal and financial affairs. These claims have surfaced amid legal disputes involving A&E Networks and Lifetime over a documentary titled 'Where Is Wendy Williams?,' with Morrissey asserting that Williams could not consent to being filmed due to her cognitive impairment. A&E Networks is countersuing Morrissey, alleging interference with free speech.
