Wendy's team just announced she has been diagnosed with dementia...
From Variety
Wendy Williams‘ team confirmed in a press release that the former daytime talk show host has been diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Aphasia is a condition that affects language and communication abilities, while FTD is a disorder that impacts behavior and cognitive functions. Bruce Willis revealed last year that he was also diagnosed with the same kind of dementia.
Williams made a name for herself as the host of “The Wendy Williams Show” from 2008-2021. She stepped down from hosting amid medical issues and was public about her struggles with Graves’ Disease and lymphedema. Her talk show was later canceled and aired its final episode in June 2022 after several guest hosts filled in for her.
“Over the past few years, questions have been raised at times about Wendy’s ability to process information and many have speculated about Wendy’s condition, particularly when she began to lose words, act erratically at times, and have difficulty understanding financial transactions,” the press release states.
“The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances,” the release added. “Unfortunately, many individuals diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia face stigma and misunderstanding, particularly when they begin to exhibit behavioral changes but have not yet received a diagnosis.”

Wow, that is very sad. I wish her healing.
She's a smart cookie, Kev aint getting no more dimes. He'll be trying to get Sharina a good job/gig pretty soon.
Kev and Sharina time to get a job. Cause you both will never see a dime of Wendy’s money!!!!
Good luck to her.
I sure hate this for her, or anybody.
Unfortunately , this is terminal and she will not make it more than a few years after this diagnosis. Sad for her.
Talking about money when someone's health is declining and they have a short time to live is pretty pathetic. I wouldn't wish this on anyone and feel very sad for her even though I didn't always like how she rolled. I wish her peace.
Hate this 4 Wendy W.
Chronic Alcoholism+Cocaine Use+Graves Disease
Praying that her GUARDIANS perform their rightous duty.
Prayers to her. Bruce Willis daughter shares videos with her dad and it makes me sad to see him now.
People who believe everything the media puts out are fools. Read between the lines sometimes, geesh.
^Ok genius. We'll read between the lines and await a miraculous recovery from dementia. Lord have mercy, some of people get more stupid by the day!

Dammmn...so sad to hear this. I'm rooting for Wendy.
Sharina go get a job!
Kelvin go get food stamps!
So many ppl were given x amount of time to live by the 'doctors.' Annnd they outlived the doctors! Don't sleep on Wendy, *if* she's sick she can recover.
I hope they don’t do Wendy like they do Bruce Willis. His family has made him the poster boy for dementia. Every time you turn around one of them has a photo on social media. I see more of him now than I ever did before.
We don’t need to see photos of her with this illness.

I remember when Wendy use to pick up stories from Rhymes With Snitch
Back when RWS had the hot tea and hundreds of comments.
RIP.
