Wendy Williams, 60, is ‘permanently incapacitated’ by dementia, guardian ‘tragically’ reveals

Wendy Williams’ mental health condition appears to have worsened, according to a recent filing her legal guardian submitted to a New York court earlier this month.

An attorney for guardian Sabrina Morrissey wrote in a memo to a judge, obtained by Page Six Tuesday, that the former talk show host, 60, has become “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”

“[Wendy Williams Hunter], an acclaimed entertainer who, tragically, has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated,” the letter, filed on Nov. 12, states.

The filing was submitted as part of Morrissey’s ongoing lawsuit against A+E Networks for their alleged exploitation of Williams with their Lifetime documentary, “Where Is Wendy Williams?”

The guardian unsuccessfully attempted to stop the release of the four-part series, as it showed the host “Wendy Williams” Show in a vulnerable state, crying over her finances and struggling with addiction.

After filming wrapped, it was revealed that Williams had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia, which affect memory loss and cause her to act erratically. She had allegedly been exhibiting signs of the illness when shooting for the doc began.

Morrissey has claimed in earlier filings that producers made a fortune off the doc while Williams only got paid $82,000, which is why the guardian is seeking compensation on behalf of her client.

However, in her latest letter, Morrissey has requested that the judge redact “sensitive information” regarding the beloved former radio DJ’s “health, familial relationships, and finances” to protect her privacy.

She also pointed out the benefits of sealing “the entire record to protect the incapacitated person’s privacy

A+E Networks has denied any wrongdoing in previous filings — and has instead blamed Morrissey.

They argued in a filing obtained by Page Six that the guardian was pursuing legal action against them to “attempt to excuse her own failure to protect” Williams and “deflect from her own decision” to allow the former host to be filmed “without checking in on her.”

Morrissey’s lawyer wrote in response, “None of the defendants ever gained the guardian’s consent for [Williams’] participation to be filmed, and the guardian did not learn of the talent agreement until March

2023, seven months after the start of filming.”
