Wendy Williams BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Wendy Williams’ life remains a torrent of news and speculation, but nothing has captured more attention over the last week than her rare public appearances and legal developments swirling around her. Wendy, now 61, shocked everyone by stepping out for New York Fashion Week on September 14 and 15 for the first time since her diagnosis with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia was revealed this February. Multiple outlets including People and Parade described her as glam yet reserved, sporting a black blazer dress for the Bach Mai show and a pale yellow tweed set the next day for Dennis Basso’s preview, accessories unchanged but topped with a proud W pendant and a bold red lip. Social media and fashion blogs lit up, with a wave of admiration and concern as observers noted how her presence marked a significant moment since her withdrawal from public life amid her ongoing health and conservatorship battles. Commentary from Mabumbe and Essence underscored how her appearances generated major trends and ignited a new flurry of fan interest.

But beneath the surface, legal and medical drama looms. Recent court documents, shared by outlets like The U.S. Sun and People, confirm that Wendy is still considered “permanently incapacitated,” a result of her early-onset dementia. Since Wells Fargo froze her accounts in 2022 amid fears of financial exploitation, guardianship—currently held by Sabrina Morrissey—has dictated her professional and personal decisions, including her finances and medical care. Major headlines from this week include that a New York judge extended Morrissey’s guardianship until at least November 3, buying time to sort out mounting challenges. Sources from court filings cited by People reveal intense behind-the-scenes disputes, with Wendy’s family and ex-husband potentially planning to contest both the guardianship itself and Morrissey’s role.

Media speculation has only intensified with news that, despite her diagnosis, a judge has ordered Wendy to sit for a deposition tied to Lifetime’s Where is Wendy Williams? documentary, as reported by People and Hot105FM. Legal experts and advocacy groups have questioned this decision, citing her diagnosis and alleged struggles with competency.

For fans, her recent video message breaking the silence on dementia struck a chord, as discussed in the Bryan Fagan Law Center’s feature. Tributes circulated across social platforms, and her rare call-in to The View this week—covered by IMDb’s news page—was both defiant and poignant, pleading for autonomy and asking her guardian to “get off my neck.” Numbered headlines everywhere sum it up: the queen of daytime refuses to fade quietly, her battle for dignity and agency unfolding in the glare of the world’s spotlight.
