Wendy Williams: Defying Dementia, Guardianship, and Daytime TV's Expectations

Wendy Williams BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Wendy Williams has once again set the rumor mill spinning after her first public outing in 17 months, marking a hopeful yet complicated new chapter. On August 19, she was spotted in Newark with her son Kevin Jr at Bolingo Balance, a holistic wellness shop. Store employees described Wendy as sharp, upbeat, and bubbly, adding she showed plenty of energy and awareness during the visit. Both Page Six and TV Insider emphasized just how newsworthy this was, given Wendy’s recent battles with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. Throughout her time at the store, her son handled most of the explanations, but Wendy herself was engaged, hinting at plans to return for more wellness treatments.

Soon after, RadarOnline reported that Williams celebrated her sixty-first birthday at Delmonico’s, joined by her longtime sidekick Suzanne Bass. This reunion sent shockwaves through both the daytime TV industry and her devoted fan base, leading to speculation about a revenge comeback. According to insiders, Wendy and Suzanne spoke openly about getting back on the air together, vowing to remind audiences why daytime television once revolved around their team.

Yet Williams’ future remains clouded by her ongoing legal and medical challenges. Reports from The U.S. Sun and TV Insider cite court documents filed by her guardian Sabrina Morrissey, stating Wendy has been “permanently incapacitated” by early-onset dementia and is cognitively impaired. Wells Fargo’s instigation of a guardianship proceeding back in 2022, in response to disturbing events around her welfare and finances, continues to loom over her. In a recent encounter with New York reporters, Williams herself pushed back: “Do I sound like I have dementia to you?” she quipped, vowing confidently to get out of guardianship—a statement her lawyer, Joe Tacopina, echoed during an interview with Extra. Tacopina claims recent health reports were improperly leaked, and stresses Wendy has not yet had an independent medical exam.

As for business activity, Williams’ personal interests seem to be shifting. Extra, Geo.TV, and Page Six all report Wendy is now exploring the idea of a nationwide speaking tour to shed light on abusive guardianship systems rather than a traditional TV return. Her lawyer highlighted Wendy’s eagerness to leverage her platform for advocacy, and friends confirm she’s considering panels and public discussions. Social media buzz also persists: Wendy’s openness in posts and her engagement with fans—sometimes addressing criticism directly—suggests she is building momentum for whatever her next act might be. Though she has stepped back from regular appearances since 2022’s graduation event for Kevin Jr, each sighting and statement feeds fresh headlines and fan speculation. For now, the question of whether daytime’s most outrageous voice will reclaim center stage remains unanswered, but the world is clearly watching.
