Wendy Williams was urgently transported from her assisted living facility in New York City to Lennox Hill Hospital for a cognitive evaluation, raising concerns about her health and guardianship status. Diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in May 2023, Williams is undergoing this assessment to determine whether she is fit to end her guardianship.

The situation escalated when Williams reportedly dropped a handwritten note from her fifth-floor room, pleading for help. Family sources indicated that this intervention is seen as a much-needed rescue for the star, with one insider stating, “This is the beginning of the end of this nightmare.” They expressed gratitude for the support from her family and friends who have been advocating for her well-being.

A caregiver, not linked to her guardianship, initiated the hospital visit amid worries about Williams’ isolated lifestyle. In a recent emotional interview, she revealed her struggles, stating that she had only been allowed outside twice in the past month. Williams described her living conditions as “depressing” and expressed frustration over her limited communication with family and friends, revealing that she has long requested basic items like an iPad for connectivity.

This medical evaluation comes on the heels of Williams’ efforts to regain her independence. Last month, she signed an affidavit asking a judge to terminate her guardianship, asserting that she has regained the capacity to function independently. However, she faces significant challenges ahead, including the need to convince the court that she does not suffer from the neurological condition that has been previously diagnosed.

Williams has engaged a new attorney to assist in her legal battle against the guardianship, which was established in 2022. Following her evaluation, her attorney plans to file an emergency order to prompt the judge to reconsider her guardianship status. As Williams continues to fight for her freedom, her supporters remain hopeful for a positive outcome.
