Wendy Williams is not staying silent amid fresh reports about her health.
The former daytime TV maven, who has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, fired back this weekend at speculation surrounding her mental state.
Full story below…
Despite medical documents alleging she suffers from frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, Williams insists she’s still in control and wants out of what she calls an unfair arrangement. Arriving at New York hotspot Tucci’s arm-in-arm with owner Max Tucci, she told reporters:
“I want to say hi to my attorneys, Allan Diamond and Joe Tacopina. And I will get out of guardianship.”
Her powerhouse attorney, Joe Tacopina, doubled down, branding the process “despicably slow” and promising a lawsuit, he said:
“This is Wendy, the same Wendy, we’ve had conversation over six months, she’s the same Wendy Williams that you know from TV. She belongs in a facility like I belong in a facility. She is a person in control of her faculties and is a great human being… and it sickens me… this isn’t a case for me, it’s a cause…”
Meanwhile, her guardians’ legal team is pushing to extend the conservatorship through November. But with #FreeWendy supporters rallying behind her, Williams is making it clear: she’s ready to reclaim her freedom.

She seems off but I wish her the best. Sad to see her like that.
Sad why…this ill-mannered lady used to make fun of people on daily basis.
How r u doin, grandma??
1-2-3…..kah kah kah!
Watch when your dumb ass get a few more years older and we are going to call you granpa wanna be c***!!!
She should stop talking to the media, it’s not helping her cause. If she’s not already being advised to do so, then she’s being ill-advised in my opinion. Here, I agree she seems off. But they also cut her statement off prematurely which could possibly make it seem even worse than it was. The media often only posts partial interviews or partial statements. I just don’t understand why people around her would allow her to be questioned.
Go away we don’t care it’s just karma doing it’s job.
