Wendy Williams' Legal Team Battles Conservatorship Claims

A new legal challenge has emerged in the conservatorship case of Wendy Williams, with her attorney asserting that she does not have frontotemporal dementia and aphasia. A recent evaluation by a noted neurologist reportedly concluded that these diagnoses are incorrect, suggesting instead that alcohol addiction may have been the primary cause of her past cognitive impairments. This attorney claims Williams is now sober and is hopeful for her release from conservatorship by year's end.

Williams' current guardian, through her legal counsel, has firmly denied any allegations of wrongdoing or mismanagement. Legal filings from earlier in 2025 indicated that Williams was deemed cognitively impaired, a perspective contested by her attorney's recent statements. Despite her public expressions of feeling confined, Williams has made some public appearances, including during New York Fashion Week.
