Wendy Williams' guardian insists star is getting 'excellent medical care'
Published in Entertainment News
Wendy Williams' guardian Sabrina Morrisey says the star is receiving "excellent medical care".
The 60-year-old star - who fronted her eponymous talk show from 2008 until 2022 before Sherri Shepherd took over her slot - is battling to end her court-ordered guardianship, and has claimed in an affidavit that she has "regained [the] capacity" to function without her legal guardian while complaining about her treatment in her New York City assisted living facility.
However, an attorney for Morrisey told TMZ in a letter that she is getting "excellent medical care", while the facility has a "spa, a workout room, excellent food, a dining room, and outside terraces".
The lawyer added: "False statements about Ms. Williams, her condition, and the Guardianship harm Ms. Williams and her interests, and undermine protection created by the Court for her health and welfare."
Wendy has insisted she is often denied access to some of those perks because she can't leave the fifth floor memory unit without permission.
She was hospitalised earlier this week amid concerns for her wellbeing but phoned into Fox5 on Tuesday (11.03.25) with her friend to give a positive update after mental competency evaluations.
Speaking on 'Good Day New York', she said: "I passed with flying colours! Gina can elaborate on everything, and I'll just cosign."
Gina explained that Wendy has been deemed as "not incapacitated"
She added: "She had those tests, she's been deemed she is not incapacitated!"
Host Rosanna Scotto asked Wendy: "The court says they were going to do some testing on you. Did you not really trust their testing and you wanted somebody independent to do it for you?"
Wendy replied: "Absolutely. I wanted independently tested. And, and that is what I want and that is what I got."
Gina then explained that the former DJ can now take this news to a judge in a bid to reverse her conservatorship.
Wendy then insisted her "number one" priority is now getting herself out of the conservatorship, which she was put into after Wells Fargo, her bank, claimed she was a victim of undue influence and financial exploitation.
Page Six reported Wendy was in her fifth-story room at a New York City assisted living facility on Monday (10.03.25) when she tossed a handwritten note out of the window to paparazzi.
The message read: "Help! Wendy!!"
Police arrived at around 11.15am for a wellness check on the broadcaster, and photos showed her wearing a T-shirt, black leggings and a long sweater as she left the facility looking sombre.
Officers assisted her as she climbed into the ambulance.
