Wendy Williams is making a bold move to reclaim her independence. The former talk show host has officially signed an affidavit asserting that she has “regained capacity” and no longer requires a legal guardian.
She is also pushing back against claims that she has Frontotemporal Dementia, a progressive neurological condition that is typically irreversible.
According to TMZ, Williams is scheduled for a medical evaluation next Tuesday, with the doctor selected by her legal team. The following day, her attorney plans to file an Emergency Order to Show Cause, requesting an immediate hearing with the judge overseeing her case. If the request is denied, Williams is reportedly prepared to demand a jury trial to determine her ability to manage her own affairs.
Her fight for autonomy comes after years of legal and personal battles. In a recent TMZ documentary, Williams described her current living conditions as restrictive, claiming she has no internet access, no incoming phone calls, no visitors, and limited freedom to even step outside.
This latest legal push marks a crucial moment in Williams’ ongoing struggle to regain control over her life and finances. If successful, it could reshape her future—and redefine her legacy on her own terms.
