New York, NY – Wendy Williams, the iconic television personality, has been declared “permanently disabled and legally incapacitated” following a dementia diagnosis. This news comes as a shock to fans who have followed Williams’ career for years.
The revelation, detailed in legal documents, underscores the severity of Williams’ health condition. Her guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, has been appointed to oversee her affairs. Morrissey has alleged that Williams was exploited by A&E Television Networks, who produced the Lifetime docuseries “Where Is Wendy Williams?” while she was “clearly incapable of consenting to being filmed, much less humiliated and exploited.”
The docuseries, released in February 2023, delved into Williams’ personal life and career struggles, including her battle with addiction and health issues. However, given her current condition, questions have arisen about the ethics of filming and broadcasting such a personal documentary.
As fans and well-wishers express concern for Williams’ well-being, this news highlights the importance of understanding the impact of neurodegenerative diseases and the need for compassionate care for those affected.
