Wendy Williams, the former talk show host, has been under a court-appointed guardianship since 2022 due to health concerns, including a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.

Recently, she has been vocal about her desire to end this guardianship, expressing that it feels like a “prison” and emphasizing her wish to regain autonomy over her life.

In a recent development, Williams contacted Rosanna Scotto during a live broadcast of “Good Day New York” from the hospital where she had undergone a cognitive evaluation. During the call, she stated that her top priority is to terminate the guardianship, asserting that she passed the evaluation “with flying colors.”

Williams’ friend, Gina, who was also on the call, confirmed that the evaluation deemed Williams “not incapacitated.”

This assessment could play a significant role in her legal efforts to end the guardianship.

Despite these assertions, her court-appointed guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, maintains that the guardianship remains necessary due to Williams’ health conditions. Morrissey’s attorney has refuted claims that Williams is confined or restricted, highlighting that she has access to various amenities and the freedom to communicate with family.

The situation underscores the complexities involved in guardianship cases, particularly when the individual under guardianship contests the arrangement. As Williams continues her legal battle, the recent cognitive evaluation results may influence future court decisions regarding her autonomy.
