In a recent TubiTV documentary, Wendy Williams discussed how her life has changed under the guardianship she was placed under in 2022 and how she has not seen a medical professional in a long time despite her 2023 dementia diagnosis. Williams' guardian has claimed she is cognitively impaired, but Williams herself insists she feels "fantastic" and is not incapacitated.
Following Williams' denial of her diagnosis and refusal to pursue legal action against A&E, her guardian filed court documents requesting a new medical evaluation to determine her capacity to make decisions about her healthcare needs. The situation highlights the complexity of diagnosing conditions like aphasia and dementia, especially in individuals with a history of substance abuse like Williams.
