Wendy Williams has never been one to shy away from the spotlight, but her latest headline is unlike any other. It all started when Williams tossed a handwritten note asking for help out of her window. It progressed to a police welfare check and, finally, a hospital visit. After which, the former TV host fiercely declared that she is not incapacitated.
Wendy Williams, who has been under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022, pleaded for an independent medical evaluation to prove that she is not cognitively impaired. After the test, she shared proudly with the public that she passed her competency tests “with flying colors.” Despite the increasing concerns and worries from the public, Williams keeps fighting against the guardianship system that has been controlling her personal and financial decisions. Will Williams’s battle be over anytime soon?
Wendy Williams continues to fight against the guardianship system
Williams’ journey under guardianship has consistently made news, but not for good reasons. In a recent interview, she revealed that she has been confined to a memory care unit, where older patients with cognitive impairments surround her. She asked why she is in such a facility when she is fully aware of her surroundings and decisions.
Her caretaker, Ginalisa Monterrosa, also played a role in shedding light on the situation. She contacted Adult Protective Services and law enforcement and asked for Williams to be removed from the isolating environment. When officers arrived, Williams reportedly felt anxiety but saw an opportunity. She requested to be taken to a hospital, where she underwent competency evaluations by independent doctors.
Amid guardianship troubles, Wendy Williams is making sure her voice is heard
According to Monterrosa, Williams successfully passed two medical assessments, proving her ability to make decisions for herself. However, her legal battle remains ongoing.
Despite her recent medical clearance, her legal status has not yet changed. Her next challenge is proving that she can regain control over her own life. William’s fight is similar to the high-profile cases of Britney Spears and other public figures caught in similar legal battles. It is uncertain if she will reclaim independence, but Wendy Williams is still making her voice heard.
