Wendy Williams has publicly addressed rumors surrounding her health, refuting claims of a dementia diagnosis and expressing discontent with reports about her condition. In a recent interview, the ex-talk show host openly disputed her health status and shared her feelings of dissatisfaction regarding her current living arrangements. Her statements have sparked renewed debate on her wellbeing, so here’s Wendy Williams’ take on her wellness.
What did Wendy Williams say about her dementia?
Contrary to rumors and a previous medical assessment, Wendy Williams has openly stated that she does not have dementia. In a recent conversation for IMPACT x Nightline: What’s Happening with Wendy Williams?, she firmly dismissed allegations suggesting she struggles with frontotemporal dementia, expressing her disbelief by saying, “How could you say such a thing?
She additionally described the New York care facility she currently stays in as being “more like a prison.” Expanding on this, the previous host clarified, “This part of the building is called the memory unit. It’s accurate that those who live here often can’t recall things.” However, Williams emphatically stated, “I don’t feel I should be here,” expressing disagreement with the reports concerning her health condition.
Tommy Williams, her brother, has likewise voiced doubts about the diagnosis, asserting during the Nightline special that his sister appears to be in good health. He said, “I don’t see dementia. She doesn’t see dementia… At this moment, she’s restricted.” Additionally, he expressed optimism that she will recover and regain her freedom soon.
Previously, during an interview on The Breakfast Club radio show, Williams stated comments of a similar nature. She brushed aside speculations about her mental abilities, asserting confidently, “I’m not experiencing any cognitive impairment.” Additionally, she shared insights into her daily routine at the facility.
After continued denials from Williams, Sabrina Morrissey, her legal guardian, has asked for a reassessment of her health status. In a letter to a New York judge, Morrissey suggested that Williams should undergo extensive neurological and psychological examinations. The filing further noted that it is typical for patients with frontotemporal dementia to reject their diagnosis. Although Morrissey has not commented on the matter publicly, she previously denied any wrongdoing in her role as a caregiver for Williams. (via USA Today)
