Nationwide — Wendy Williams has announced that she successfully passed a medical evaluation after being hospitalized 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, providing 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 assess whether she could regain control over her finances and end the guardianship, she asserted that she passed “with flying colors.”
During the call, she was accompanied by a woman named Gina, identified by TMZ as a caregiver not affiliated with the court-appointed guardianship. Gina supported Williams’ claims, stating that “factually, Wendy is not incapacitated.”
When asked how long she would remain in the hospital, Williams replied, “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, she is also set to return to TV after four years, making a guest appearance on The View. On Friday, March 14th, she will join the show via phone interview, marking her first national TV appearance in years.
Initially, it was supposed to be a phone interview, but now she may actually be able to do the interview in person.
She has previously conducted interviews while in her assisted-living facility, sometimes seen standing in the window during phone calls.
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.
