Wendy Williams, the former talk show host known for her catch phrase \u201cHow you doin\u2019?<\/a>\u201d and being a staple on New York radio, has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022. Since then, details of her personal life have become internet fodder and raised discussions about her health and family.<\/p>\n This week, Ms. Williams\u2019s court-appointed legal guardian suggested she should undergo a new medical evaluation because Ms. Williams had publicly questioned a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. Ms. Williams, who is living in a New York care facility, said in a recent telephone interview on \u201cThe Breakfast Club\u201d<\/a> that she was \u201cnot cognitively impaired.\u201d<\/p>\n Ms. Williams\u2019s inner circle participated in a four-part documentary<\/a> about her life last year and have mounted a campaign to get her out of the state\u2019s care.<\/p>\n While some details around the guardianship, which oversees Ms. Williams\u2019s personal and financial affairs, are sealed by court order, others have been shared with the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Here is what we know.<\/p>\n In 2022, a year after Ms. Williams last filmed her talk show, a court appointed a legal guardian to oversee her personal and financial affairs. The appointment came after Wells Fargo, which was involved in her finances, had \u201cdocumented a pattern of unusual and disturbing events\u201d related to her welfare and finances, according to court documents.<\/p>\n Sabrina E. Morrissey is Ms. Williams\u2019s court-appointed legal guardian, although her specific powers are not clear because a court sealed many of the related filings.<\/p>\n Alex Finnie, Ms. Williams\u2019s niece, said in an interview on \u201cThe View\u201d<\/a> in February 2024 that the family was initially involved in conversations about the guardianship and was later shut out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Ms. Morrissey\u2019s lawyers said in a legal complaint that Ms. Williams\u2019s dementia had caused her to \u201cbecome cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated.\u201d<\/p>\n Ms. Williams has also openly discussed her issues with Graves\u2019s disease<\/a>, an immune system disorder, and lymphedema<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhen did Wendy Williams enter a guardianship?<\/h2>\n
