Wendy Williams may finally have a strong case to regain control of her life.
According to TMZ, a top neurologist recently tested Wendy in New York City and concluded she does not have frontotemporal dementia, the degenerative brain condition her guardian cited to justify keeping her under a highly restrictive guardianship for more than three years.
Her guardian had previously claimed in 2024 that Wendy tested positive for frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia, a condition that affects language and speech. These diagnoses were the foundation for the restrictive court controls over her personal and financial decisions. In addition, Wendy has Graves’ disease and lymphedema, and her care team previously noted past alcohol use, which may have contributed to cognitive challenges in prior years.
Since becoming clean and sober three years ago, Wendy has demonstrated remarkable neurological stability. Experts point out that frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia are progressive conditions that do not improve over time, making her current cognitive resilience a strong indicator that the earlier diagnoses may have been overstated or incorrect.
Wendy’s legal team is reportedly preparing to file court documents in the next two weeks, requesting a hearing to terminate the guardianship. If the judge refuses, her attorney Joe Tacopina plans to demand a jury trial, asking jurors to restore Wendy’s autonomy and independence.
