Last week, Wendy attended her son's graduation from Florida International University, visibly emotional as she witnessed his academic milestone. Despite her mobility assistance, she appeared cheerful and supportive.

According to Hunter Jr. in her documentary airing early this year, Wendy's health concerns stemmed from alcohol-induced dementia, a condition she developed due to excessive drinking. The former "Wendy Williams Show" host has also been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, primary progressive aphasia, Graves' disease, and lymphedema.

Wendy's guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, has previously stated that she is "permanently incapacitated" due to her dementia. However, her family has expressed concern over limited access to her, citing a lack of communication from her medical team.

Despite challenges, Wendy's family remains hopeful that she is receiving appropriate care and support. Per her medical team, she retains some independence, her sense of humor, and has regular phone conversations with loved ones.

Amidst Wendy's health issues, her guardian waged a legal battle against Lifetime, the network that aired her docuseries. They accused the network of taking advantage of Wendy, citing unfair paycheck from the documentary among other things.
