Wendy Williams Is “Incapacitated” Amid Dementia Diagnosis, Experts Explain What It All Means

Wendy Williams was deemed “permanently incapacitated” due to frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia. Her legal guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, disclosed the 60-year-old’s health update in a recent court filing. The update follows a 2022 guardianship case initiated by Wells Fargo over concerns about Wendy’s welfare and finances.

Sabrina, a lawyer, said Wendy was now “permanently incapacitated,” amid her diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia and primary progressive aphasia in May 2023, The Independent reported on Tuesday (November 26).

The Wendy Williams Show host was reportedly described in Sabrina’s filing as “an acclaimed entertainer who, tragically, has been afflicted by early-onset dementia and, as a result, has become cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”
