Wendy Williams diagnosed with progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia aged 59

Wendy Williams attends the ceremony honoring her with a Star on The Hollywood Walk of Fame held on October 17, 2019.

Wendy Williams has been diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia at the age of 59, sharing details in a statement. 

In 2022, fans of Wendy Williams became concerned about the star's health when her 12-year-long daytime TV show, The Wendy Williams Show was cancelled abruptly. Wendy has kept a relatively low profile since then and has been open about her health issues with other problems. However ahead of the four-and-a-half-hour-long Lifetime documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams? that's set to air this weekend, an announcement about Wendy's diagnosis with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia has been shared with fans.
