Guardian Says Wendy Williams Doesn't Realize She Has Dementia


Two weeks ago former daytime talk show host Wendy Williams' court ordered guardian, Sabrina Morressy, agreed to request a new medial evaluation for Wendy after she publicly denied suffering from frontotemporal dementia [click here if you missed that].  

Now Morressy claims Wendy doesn't even realize she has dementia and it will takes months to get a new evaluation...

From The Sun
WENDY Williams' guardian has claimed the former daytime talk show host doesn't realize she has dementia and insisted a new mental evaluation will take months.
Wendy's guardian Sabrina Morrissey made the shocking new allegations in court documents related to her lawsuit against Lifetime for their scathing 2024 documentary, Where Is Wendy Williams?
In the filing, the guardian asked for a motion to stay, or temporarily pause, the lawsuit she filed against Lifetime for the documentary after the star insisted in recent interviews that the suit was "blood money," and she didn't want it pursued.
In various recent interviews, Wendy insisted she does not have frontotemporal dementia, and has said numerous times she is not in cognitive decline.
"The Guardian—who acts solely for the benefit of W.W.H. [Wendy Williams Hunter] and her estate—takes these statements seriously, but also recognizes that anosognosia (an inability to perceive one’s own cognitive impairment) is a common symptom of FTD," the guardian's filing stated.
"Given the questions that have been raised and the misrepresentations that have been made in the press following W.W.H.’s recent statements, the Guardian now seeks a short stay of discovery so that a highly qualified expert can perform a renewed medical evaluation of W.W.H. to supplement the extensive medical evaluations and diagnoses that W.W.H. has already received and to provide professional medical guidance on whether and how W.W.H. can participate in this case (including in discovery)."
Sabrina, once again, cast doubt on the new evaluation changing Wendy's diagnosis.
"In the unlikely event the new medical examination concludes that, contrary to her prior formal diagnoses, W.W.H. is presently capable of directing her own legal affairs, the Guardian would have no reason to continue this action on her behalf."
The guardian claimed that should the evaluation stand, she will proceed with the Lifetime lawsuit to "fulfill her fiduciary obligation to pursue a substantial financial recovery for W.W.H. that will help pay for her long-term care."
The guardian's filing then drops a bomb, disclosing that the evaluation will take months, not days as another news outlet previously reported.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A PERSON WHO HAS BRAINWASHED ANOTHER PERSON WOULD SAY.

Lawd, that guardian has a vise grip on Wendy. Will she ever be free?

Sez who?

Where is the health team that can verify this? Who are the doctors making these diagnoses?

Huh? Wha?

Wendy needs 24 hour care. Without that conservatorship, she would be dead and broke. The only reason she is coherent now is because of the supervision. It is protecting her from the wolves and sharks in her family and from herself. That Lifetime Expo was a horrific error and her conservator should be changed but not ended.

So what if she does or doesn't. Why does this women insist on justifying keeping Wendy under her control if it not about the money? Her son should feel awful getting his mom in this situation.

I don't think WW's son feels guilty for getting her into the situation. But he might feel like kicking himself for being the reason why his pockets have been dried up for almost a year though because of his mom's conservatorship.

She will be under guardianship until they deplete her bank account.

True that.
Drinking and on meds do not work together.

Wendy Williams does not know that she has dementia. That is why she has been coherent and speaking so eloquently. Is this a joke?

Well with Dementia, the person’s mental health usually deteriorates so only time will tell when she can’t remember who her son is, or even her own identity.

@11:48 I totally agree

IF Wendy isn’t afflicted or isn’t as bad off as they want people to believe, it sounds like they need time to find a medical “professional” who will render the diagnosis that will keep her in control of Wendy.

Where did they find this woman at anyway. I remember from the documentary she really didn’t have any previous guardianship experience. She was a “publicist” with like 1 client that no one heard of. SMH what a MESS!

Free Wendy!

With dementia you can seem totally normal for a while. Deterioration will eventually sink in.

I listened to the 2 Angry Men podcast interview with Wendy Williams and she sounds as lucid as ever. I don't believe for one minute that Wendy had dementia but if she did, it still doesn't mean she should be locked up 24/7. They need to fire that guardian asap because she does not have Wendy's best interest at heart. Anyone can see there's something shady going on.

Look up sundowning. People with dementia will be sharp in the morning and afternoon but deteriorate in the evening.
