Wendy Williams’ legal guardian has requested additional medical examinations for the television personality.

Previously diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia in 2023, Williams recently spoke on “The Breakfast Club,” where she claimed that the care she is receiving is overly restrictive and unwarranted.

In a letter addressed to a New York judge, obtained by YSL News on Wednesday, Sabrina Morrissey, Williams’ court-appointed guardian, appeared to address those statements. She has requested a fresh evaluation to confirm Williams’ diagnosis.

The letter indicated that since Williams has publicly expressed disagreement with her diagnosis, which Morrissey noted is common among patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) who may lack awareness of their own condition, it would be sensible for her to undergo a thorough medical assessment by a specialist involving extensive neurological and psychological testing.

According to the Mayo Clinic, frontotemporal dementia encompasses a group of brain disorders that affect the frontal and temporal lobes, impacting language, personality, and behavior.

The filing emphasized that the question of whether Williams can truly judge her own best interests should be carefully evaluated by qualified professionals rather than being left to speculation from media outlets or online sources.

This letter is part of an ongoing legal dispute between Morrissey and A+E Networks concerning the Lifetime documentary “Where is Wendy Williams?,” where Morrissey has claimed that Williams was not in a position to give consent for filming.

During her interview on “The Breakfast Club,” Williams, along with her niece Alex Finnie, insisted that she is “not cognitively impaired” and characterized her conservatorship as a form of “emotional abuse.”

She expressed her distress, saying, “I feel like I am in prison. I’m surrounded by people in their 90s, 80s, and 70s. There’s something not right about this situation.”

Guardian claims she sued over Lifetime documentary ‘to benefit’ Wendy Williams’ estate

Finnie also expressed skepticism about Williams’ supposed incapacity, claiming that the conservatorship system is flawed and often exploited by individuals looking to take advantage of vulnerable, wealthy individuals.

“(Williams) hasn’t had, to my knowledge, a medical evaluation to determine if her rights can be reinstated,” Finnie stated. “It seems that instead of aiding my aunt, Sabrina has made it more challenging for her to lead any sort of healthy, independent life.”

In response, Morrissey is advocating for just that shift. Additionally, she is offering to pause legal proceedings against A&E until the new tests are conducted, countering Williams’ assertion on “The Breakfast Club” that the lawsuit is draining her resources.

“To clarify, the goal of the A&E matter is to benefit (Williams) and her estate,” the letter stated, emphasizing that Morrissey initiated the lawsuit to secure significant monetary damages to cover Williams’ extensive healthcare needs in the future.

On air, Williams seemed to attribute the lawsuit primarily to Morrissey, even suggesting she may consider collaborating with Lifetime again, which co-produced the documentary.

“I’ve collaborated with Lifetime numerous times,” she remarked. “I would love to partner with them again. They treat me well, and I reciprocate that respect.”

A&E Television Networks and Lifetime Entertainment Services have both denied any wrongdoing. They claim in their counteractions that Morrissey’s lawsuit is more about preserving her own reputation than about Williams’ welfare.

“The documentary raised questions about the adequacy of Morrissey’s guardianship, leading her to try to prevent its release,” the counterclaim stated.

The companies also stated that their docuseries illustrated how Williams’ guardianship had isolated her from her family, left her mostly alone in her apartment, worsened her harmful behaviors, and did not prevent her from using or misusing alcohol.

Finnie corroborated these points during the “Breakfast Club” discussion, stating, “They refuse to allow you to leave or have visitors. You’re stuck; you can’t even go out for a walk or visit family.”

In the letter sent on Wednesday, Morrissey’s legal team reiterated that she had “no intention” of pursuing the legal matter against A&E if a new medical evaluation shows that Williams is capable of managing her own case.
