Wendy Williams the popular radio show host turned TV talk show queen is trying to regain her personal and financial freedom by ending a guardianship enacted over her.
Williams has been in court-ordered guardianship since 2022 and is currently living in an assisted care facility. However, in her new petition she told the judge that she has “regained capacity” to function without a guardian, per TMZ.
The gossip news site recently released a documentary about her called, “TMZ Presents: Saving Wendy.” It is currently streaming on Tubi.
Williams who had been incapacitated in the past and was diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia has signed an affidavit that she is, in fact, healthy. Her friend, TMZ founder Harvey Levin has stated that he believes Williams was misdiagnosed and has gotten healthier since becoming sober.
According to Fox4News, Levin interviewed his old friend from the street, where Williams claims she is locked in a room with no internet access. He said she is rarely allowed visitors and has only been outside twice in the past month.
“She rightly feels like a prisoner,” Levin said.
According to Levin, Williams, 60, is “back to her old self”, but her guardian refuses to release her.
Fans on social media, are reacting to the news and the documentary with outrage asking for the same support be offered Williams as was offered Britney Spears in her conservatorship battle.
The hashtag #FreeWendyWilliams is currently trending on X.
Sources have told PageSix that Williams is set to be reexamined by a medical doctor on February 18.
