Wendy Williams has confirmed that she successfully passed a medical evaluation following her hospitalization for a wellness check. The 60-year-old former talk show host was removed from her assisted living facility on Monday after reportedly dropping a note from her window that read: “Help! Wendy!!”
On Tuesday morning, Williams called into Good Day New York and spoke with anchor Rosanna Scotto from Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, sharing an update on her condition.
Williams, who has been under financial guardianship since 2022, was diagnosed last year with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. When asked about the cognitive tests she underwent to determine if she could regain control over her finances and end the guardianship, she insisted she passed “with flying colors.”
Joining her during the call was a woman named Gina, identified by TMZ as a caregiver unaffiliated with Williams’ court-appointed guardianship. Gina backed up Williams’ statements, saying, “Factually, Wendy is not incapacitated.”
When asked how long she would remain in the hospital, Williams responded,
“I’m waiting to see my lawyer. I saw her yesterday; she’ll be here today.” Gina added that the test results would “absolutely” be presented in court as evidence to support Williams’ release from the assisted living facility, emphasizing that they were conducted at a “well-known, independent hospital” and were “factual.”
According to Daily Mail, Williams is also preparing to return to television after a four-year absence with a guest appearance on The View. She is scheduled to join the show on Friday, March 14th, via a phone interview, marking her first national TV appearance in years.
Initially planned as a phone call, there is now a possibility that Williams may appear on the show in person.
In the past, she has participated in interviews while in her assisted living facility, sometimes spotted standing at her window during phone conversations.
The interview will also feature Ginalisa Monterroso, the founder and president of Connect Care Advisory Group. Monterroso has been involved in discussions about guardianship and patient advocacy.
