Wendy Williams' family defends her mental clarity amid claims of incapacity and legal battles

Wendy Williams' family denies claims of her incapacity, asserting her mental clarity amid ongoing legal struggles.

Wendy Williams' family is vehemently denying claims made by her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, who recently stated that the talk show host is "permanently incapacitated" due to dementia. A family insider shared with DailyMail  that Williams is "more clear now than she's ever been" despite her ongoing health struggles.

Williams, 60, was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in May 2023, following a court-appointed guardianship in 2022 due to concerns over her health and finances. Morrissey has been managing her affairs since then.

These claims of incapacity come amid a heated legal dispute over the controversial documentary Where Is Wendy Williams?. The four-part series, which aired in February 2024, was criticized for allegedly exploiting Williams' vulnerability. In response, Morrissey filed a lawsuit against A&E Networks, accusing the network of producing the documentary without Williams' consent and misrepresenting her condition.

A&E Networks has defended the project, asserting that Williams had signed a talent agreement before her cognitive decline and that the documentary did not violate any legal standards.

As the legal battle continues, Wendy Williams' family and publicist are raising concerns about how the star has been portrayed, highlighting the ongoing struggle for control over her career and public image.
