Wendy Williams was recently spotted publicly amidst her battle with Aphasia and Frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, which became known in 2023. Due to her declining health, the 60-year-old talk show host is currently deemed “legally incapacitated,” as stated in a court file.
Wendy Williams’ illness became known after her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, issued a court case over the documentary Where is Wendy Williams?, which she stated was filmed without Wendy’s consent. This shocking revelation has shed more light on Wendy Williams’ condition.

On Sunday, December 15, Wendy Williams was spotted in an SUV with her nephew, Travis Finnie at a restaurant, Fort Lauderdale to pick up food. Wendy’s army green jacket and beautiful looks shone in the video shared by Antonie Edwards who also recorded the scene. However, this update came rather as a shock to the public after being informed by her legal guardian that the show host had become “permanently disabled.”
Fans of Wendy Williams find the situation unbelievable. They are also certain that Morrissey and Wendy deceived them. In 2022, when Wendy’s account was frozen because of her illness, Morrissey was appointed to manage her financial decisions. Not too long after, the documentary Where is Wendy Williams? was filmed and released despite Morrissey’s efforts to prevent it. Then, she shared Wendy’s FTD diagnosis with the public.
Wendy Williams’ recent appearance is met with mixed reactions
Even after the documentary was shared, Sabrina Morrissey filed another lawsuit against Lifetime Entertainment and other media agencies involved in making Where is Wendy Williams? in which she also stated that she had become physically incapacitated since her FTD had no cure. This sad update caused concern from her supporters.
Wendy’s family also raised an accusation against Morrissey for preventing them from seeing and caring for their loved one, but Morrissey did not respond. However, the recent update about Wendy Williams’ health makes her challenges confusing. Fans are also displeased about being deceived by her and Morrissey, but an official statement has not been made yet to clarify things.
