Wendy Williams health update: TV star is seen out after guardian claimed she was ‘permanently incapacitated’

News personality Antoine Edwards posted the clip of Wendy Williams and her nephew Travis Finne on his toinethedon Instagram account and captioned the video: “#WendyWilliams spotted outside popular Fort Lauderdale restaurant, Sista Sara’s Shonuff Oysters with her nephew Travis Finnie. It was recently reported Wendy was ‘permanently incapacitated’ following her dementia diagnosis. She looks GOOD.”

However, it is not known when Antonie Edwars took the video clip of Wendy Williams. According to People magazine, in documents obtained by the publication, “Sabrina E. Morrissey, the former talk show host's court-appointed guardian, claimed that Williams has become "cognitively impaired, permanently disabled and legally incapacitated.”

“The update on Williams’ health comes amid Morrissey’s ongoing legal battles with A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment and other affiliates involved with the release of Where Is Wendy Williams? A docuseries about television personality’s guardianship, health diagnoses and life after The Wendy Williams Show.”

TV presenter Wendy Williams, who is 60 years old, was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia, and a statement was released about her condition in February of this year.

The press release read: “On behalf of Wendy Williams Hunter, her care team is sharing this very personal update with her cherished fans, friends, and supporters to correct inaccurate and hurtful rumors about her health.

“As Wendy's fans are aware, in the past she has been open with the public about her medical struggles with Graves' Disease and Lymphedema as well as other significant challenges related to her health.

“Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy's ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy's condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions.

“In 2023, after undergoing a battery of medical tests, Wendy was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Aphasia, a condition affecting language and communication abilities, and frontotemporal dementia, a progressive disorder impacting behavior and cognitive functions, have already presented significant hurdles in Wendy's life.”

The press release ended with these words: “There is hope that with early detection and far more empathy, the stigma associated with dementia will be eliminated, and those affected will receive the understanding, support, and care they deserve and need.

“Wendy is still able to do many things for herself. Most importantly she maintains her trademark sense of humor and is receiving the care she requires to make sure she is protected and that her needs are addressed. She is appreciative of the many kind thoughts and good wishes being sent her way.”
