What happened to Wendy Williams?
In 2022, Wendy Williams experienced a shift in her life trajectory when she was placed under legal guardianship after her talk show ended and concerns heightened about her health.
The investigation into her guardianship revealed that she had been diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia and aphasia, and was eventually placed into a memory care facility in New York City.
Despite the legal documents and events, Williams' supporters have unified the support of her through the #FreeWendy online movement, advocating for her life back.
Contradictorily, Williams has denied the dementia diagnosis, counteracting the official statements regarding her medical illness.
