For weeks former talk show host Wendy Williams has been lobbying to be released from her court ordered assisted living facility, insisting she is not incapacitated [click here if you missed that].
Wendy's court ordered guardian sets the record straight on some of Wendy's claims...
From TMZ
TMZ has just received a letter from a lawyer repping Wendy Williams' guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, and the attorney claims some of the media coverage of the guardianship and their client is "untrue, inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading."
The attorney notes Morrissey did not create the guardianship ... the judge did. He goes on to say a judge declared Wendy legally incapacitated last August, after she was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia the year before.
The lawyer says Wendy has not been kept from her family, saying she can call them and see them whenever she wants. Wendy says she has not been allowed visitors, with just a few exceptions, since entering the assisted living facility in New York.
The guardian notes Wendy travelled twice to Florida to visit family. We're told Wendy claims the judge actually turned down the last visit -- for her dad's birthday -- and reversed that decision after TMZ's documentary, "Saving Wendy," dropped on Tubi.
The lawyer says Wendy is receiving "excellent medical care" where there is a "spa, a workout room, excellent food, a dining room, and outside terraces." Wendy says she is often denied access to many of these perks because she can only leave the fifth floor memory unit with permission.
The lawyer says Wendy's attorney tried to terminate the guardianship last year, but the judge denied it. Morrissey's lawyer says she's free to try again, and Wendy is doing just that.
