Wendy Williams, 60, incapacitated from battle with dementia: guardian

Wendy Williams’ guardian claims the former talk show host’s health is in serious decline.

In a Nov. 12 lawsuit obtained by The Post, attorneys for Williams’ guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, said Williams, 60, “has become cognitively impaired, permanently disabled and incapacitated” from his battle with dementia.

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 defendants alleged that the defendants – Lifetime’s parent company, A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment Services, EOne Productions, Creature Films and the Doctor’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 very vulnerable and clearly unable to consent to being filmed.”

Williams was diagnosed with primary aggressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia — the same medical issues Bruce Willis struggles with — in 2023.

Since May 2022, she has been under a court-ordered guardianship overseeing her health and finances after her bank, Wells Fargo, claimed she was “incapacitated”.

Morrissey’s legal team said the defendants “intentionally manipulated and manipulated” Williams “to trigger strong emotional responses and acquire embarrassing footage.”

In the suit, Morrissey’s lawyers asked the court to remove aspects of Williams’ “health, family relationships and finances” described in the suit to protect her privacy.

The defendants’ defense was also listed in the case. They argued that the case stems from Morrissey’s “deceptive effort to try to excuse her own failure to protect her department.”

They also claimed they had Williams’ “consent, input and participation” to make the documentary before she was diagnosed with dementia and before she was given a guardian.

In the case, Morrissey and the defendants requested a trial, which they expect to last two to four weeks.

The Post has contacted Williams’ representative for comment.

Morrissey previously filed a lawsuit against the doctor in September, claiming Williams was “very vulnerable and clearly unable to consent to being filmed, much less humiliated and exploited.”

In response, the defendants filed counterclaims against Morrissey in the case, which is now being heard in federal court.

Before the Lifetime documentary came out, Williams’ family told People that the “Think Like A Man Too” star is in a nursing home. Her loved ones also claimed that they can only talk to her when she calls them.

Williams hosted “The Wendy Williams Show” from 2008 to 2022.

In addition to the aphasia and dementia diagnoses, Williams has dealt with a myriad of other health issues, including Graves’ disease and lymphedema. She has also struggled with alcohol and cocaine addiction.
