TMZ is one of many outlets who reported that the dementia battle faced by former media personality and daytime talk show host Wendy Williams has taken a tragic turn. In a court filing first released by the US Sun, Williams’ guardian Sabrinia Morrissey says “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.”

A family insider who chose to remain anonymous disputed the filing to The Daily Mail. “She is more clear now than she’s ever been throughout the guardianship,” the person reportedly told the outlet. “Which is a problem for some.”

  1. I watched a few years ago a movie on Netflix on Wendy’s life. I understood her a lot better. Yes there were things she did that rubbed many people the wrong way. But after watching this amazing movie. I looked at her in a different window Payne. I felt for her. Her life sadden my heart. We are all human, we all make mistakes, some we regret some we do not. And on that note that’s exactly what we all have in common. I pray 🙏🏼 for Ms. Wendy. It saddens my heart to wonder what could or could not be going thru her mind on a daily.😪
