Wendy Williams Reportedly Transferred To Memory Care Unit After Drinking Incident Amid Guardianship Fight

Wendy Williams has been under guardianship and residing in an assisted living facility since her Frontotemporal Dementia diagnosis, even though she insists on not being ill. More recently, there have been rumors about her moving into a memory care facility.

This was not due to any cognitive problems but an alcohol-related incident. Reports say that after lunch, she had too much to drink and was placed in the specialty unit. The news makes fans wonder if her condition is truly worsening or if there is more behind the scenes.

Is Wendy Williams’ health getting any better?

According to a worker at the facility, Wendy’s condition has remained stable, and no outward signs of memory loss are apparent. The employee denied claims that she has severe cognitive issues, stating that she does not experience changes in her mental status.

The staff also indicated that Wendy is neither getting worse nor better, and no traces of dementia have been recorded. They further asserted that she is perfectly capable of remembering conversations that took place weeks ago, contrary to speculation of her losing her mental faculties.

Why was Wendy Williams placed under guardianship?

When Wendy was first diagnosed, the court intervened and assigned a guardian to oversee her well-being and finances to ensure her money was not exploited or misused. However, two years later, Wendy is reportedly growing frustrated with the arrangement and actively seeking to end it. Her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, informed the judge hearing the case that Wendy is now ready to undergo a new medical exam.

She has gotten a new attorney, who, upon evaluation, will promptly file an Emergency Order to Show Cause, which will force the court to reconsider the guardianship. If the judge does not rule in her favor, Wendy is prepared to appeal to the next level by requesting a jury trial to determine if she can manage her affairs independently.
