Wendy Williams, once the sharp-tongued and quick-witted host of her own daytime talk show, has been the subject of much concern and speculation in recent years. Recently, it was revealed in court filings that Wendy is being described as “permanently incapacitated” due to her battle with dementia and aphasia. While her guardian attorney, Sabrina Morisy, has presented this as the reality of Wendy’s situation, I can’t help but question if this is the full truth. I’m not buying it.

First, let’s look at the situation objectively. Wendy has faced several personal struggles over the years, including addiction, health problems, and a very public divorce. We saw her go through a difficult time earlier this year, and it was hard to watch. However, the idea that Wendy is now permanently incapacitated doesn’t quite add up. We all know Wendy’s career was built on her ability to communicate, to talk, to connect with people. So, hearing that she is cognitively impaired to the point of being incapable of making her own decisions feels, frankly, a bit too much.

Wendy’s legal battle over guardianship is complicated. In New York, the guardianship is essentially the same as a conservatorship. It means that someone—Sabrina Morisy, in this case—has been appointed to manage Wendy’s affairs, making decisions on her behalf. This is all happening because Wendy has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia and primary progressive aphasia, a condition that affects speech and communication. There is no denying that Wendy’s health issues are real, but are they as severe as they’re being presented?

I’m not denying that dementia is a serious disease, and early-onset dementia can be especially difficult to deal with. Aphasia, which impairs communication, is also no small thing. But let’s consider how we’re being presented with this information. Wendy was last seen in public in August at a holistic store, taking a photo with a fan in New Jersey. That’s a far cry from being permanently incapacitated. There is a huge gap between someone who is struggling with their health and someone who is entirely incapable of taking care of themselves.

The notion that Wendy is “permanently incapacitated” because of her dementia raises some flags. First, why is this being presented now, after so much time has passed? Was she not able to make decisions for herself before? And how is it possible that someone like Sabrina Morisy, who is in charge of Wendy’s guardianship, has been allowing her to make questionable decisions, like traveling to California and drinking excessively, if she’s truly incapacitated?

It’s worth mentioning that the Lifetime documentary about Wendy, Where Is Wendy Williams?, was a major point of contention in the guardianship battle. Sabrina Morisy attempted to block the documentary from being released by filing a restraining order. Her claim was that the documentary exploited Wendy’s vulnerabilities and portrayed her in an unflattering light. While it’s true the documentary showed Wendy at her lowest, it also revealed how little support she has had from those around her. Sabrina might be protecting her own image, but does she truly have Wendy’s best interests at heart?

In the documentary, Wendy was shown in a state of confusion and, at times, aggression. It’s heartbreaking to see someone who once had such a strong presence reduced to this. But is this really what Wendy wanted for herself? Or is this simply a reflection of how those around her have mishandled her care?

Let’s talk about Sabrina Morisy for a moment. She’s the one who is responsible for Wendy’s well-being now, but there’s a huge issue here: Wendy has been isolated from her family. Her son, Kevin Jr., and her brother, Tommy, have reportedly been unable to reach her. Wendy has been vocal about her estrangement from her family, and this raises serious concerns. The people closest to her, the ones who have always been there for her, seem to be shut out of her life. Why?

I find it hard to believe that Wendy would willingly choose to be cut off from her family. After all, her son, Kevin Jr., was a source of comfort and stability when Wendy was living with him in Miami. In fact, she seemed to be doing better when she was surrounded by family. So why, then, are these people being shut out? This feels like a major red flag. Is Wendy being manipulated, or are we really supposed to believe that she is incapable of maintaining those relationships?

The situation is further complicated by the fact that Wendy was once worth millions. Her fortune, which was built over years of hard work, seems to have disappeared. Her guardian, Sabrina, has made claims in court that any money made from the Where Is Wendy Williams? documentary should be put toward Wendy’s medical care. But where is the money Wendy had before this? Why isn’t Sabrina doing a better job of managing her finances to ensure Wendy gets the care she needs? These are legitimate questions that need answers.

It’s frustrating to watch from the outside. Wendy Williams, the woman who entertained us for years with her candid opinions and larger-than-life personality, seems to be fading from the public eye, and we’re left with more questions than answers. What’s really going on behind the scenes? Is Wendy truly permanently incapacitated, or is she being manipulated by those around her?

The fact remains that Wendy Williams is a beloved figure in the entertainment world, and her fans deserve to know the truth. It’s essential that Wendy’s family, her true support system, be allowed to step in and provide the care she needs, rather than having a guardian who might be more focused on their own interests. Wendy deserves transparency, and so do we.

Until we get the full picture, I remain skeptical about the claim that Wendy is permanently incapacitated. There are too many unanswered questions and too many signs that suggest her situation might be more complicated than we’re being led to believe. Wendy Williams is still a person who deserves dignity, respect, and a fair chance at healing. Let’s not let those around her exploit her during this difficult time.
