Wendy Williams will stay under her guardianship due to her recent medical exam results.

According to reports, the former daytime TV talk show host’s medical exam revealed that she is currently battling two medical conditions. Williams has undergone several tests and scans, including brain imaging, where it was confirmed again that she has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. We reported that she was diagnosed with the medical conditions two years ago. 

Because of the diagnosis, Sabrina Morrissey, Williams’ guardian, asked the court to extend her guardianship role over Williams and her affairs for another three months. The guardianship has been extended to November 5, 2025.

It has also been reported that Williams’ family may challenge the guardianship and Morrissey’s role as her guardian, a role she has held since 2022. In the past, Williams has been vocal about being released from her guardianship. 

Earlier this year, she made an appearance on The View and said, “I am not permitted to do anything but stay on this floor, the memory unit floor, where these people are 90 and 80 and 70. Look, I’m 60. Why am I here, where people don’t remember anything?” 

She added, “I want to terminate the guardianship and move on with my life. If that’s possible at all.”
