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.
