Former Talk Show Host Wendy Williams Is “Permanently Incapacitated”
Former talk show host Wendy Williams is “permanently incapacitated,” according to her guardian.
Sabrina E. Morrissey, who is the court-appointed guardian of Williams, claims Williams is “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.”
In May of 2023, Williams was diagnosed with aggressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
The update on Williams’s health comes as Morrissey sued A&E Television Networks and Lifetime Entertainment for releasing the documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?”
In the lawsuit, Morrisey claims that the media companies “filmed without a valid contract and released without Guardian’s consent.”

Per The New York Post:
Wendy Williams’ guardian claims that the former talk show host’s health is in severe decline.
In a Nov. 12 court filing obtained by The Post, attorneys for Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, said that Williams, 60, “has become cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and incapacitated” from her dementia battle.
Morrissey is currently in a legal battle with Lifetime over the release of the documentary “Where Is Wendy Williams?,” which came out in February.
The filing claimed the defendants — Lifetime’s parent company, A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment Services, EOne Productions, Creature Films and the doc’s executive producer Mark Ford — “cruelly took advantage of [Williams’] cognitive and physical decline by creating and publishing a documentary at a time when [Williams] was highly vulnerable and clearly incapable of consenting to be filmed.”
